Ansiano Hale's Mission

Hello!
> Well today we are going to the regia which is a big palace here in caserta so sorry if this is kind of short. I will send a few pictures next week from halloween and the palace. Well we were pretty busy this last week which is always a good thing. We were able to teach arcangelo once. He wanted to learn about the 2nd coming so we had a pretty good lesson. He has been harder to get ahold of lately because he kind of has a girlfriend. He also has a hard time keeping commitments but he really likes coming to church. He says he would come even if we didnt ask him. Then we were able to teach John Adam, Jacob and ebenezier from ghana. It went really well. We went to teach Jacob and then the others were all at the house. We watched the restoration together and then we talked about the book of mormon. We had a really neat american member there with us that bore amazing testimony. They were all really excited to read the book of mormon and they are going to try to come to church next week. I am so excited. It was such a spiritual lesson becuase they are so humble. This week my testimony was strenghtened on the power of the priesthood. We were able to give alot of blessings this week to members who needed them for sickness and also comfort. We were also able to give one to Rudolfos mother who is not a member. It was really neat. Sunday evening we called an inactive who we have been trying to get a hold of. We got through to her and she did not sound good. She said she wasnt feeling well. We asked her if there was anything we could do and she asked for a blessing. So later that evening we went over there. Luckily, well there is no luck in missionary work, but i was able to memorize how to give a priesthood blessing in italian earlier in the week. She asked me to give it and i was very nervous. It was a very simple blessing but Sister Russos faith was amazing. The spirit was so strong. It was a really neat experience. I have gained such a love lately for my studies in the scriptures during my mission. I am so excited every morning to study and am always sad when the studying time is over. The scriptures truly can give us a power that we need throughout the day. oh other good news is sister bove came to church again this last week and bore her testimony. it was so awesome.
> Oh yes on halloween I made a pumpkin pasta. The pumpkin that we cut out from our pumpkins with faces i put in the freezer and then on saturday turned it into a pasta. It was delicious. Hope everyone else had a wonderful Halloween. Well I love you all. I know this Gospel is true. I know its not always easy to endure to the end but i know as we search ponder and pray every day that we can become the people we need to. Ciao!
