Weekly Email January 6th, 2014 TRANSFER

First off I want to say that I am not overtly happy about this transfer, because I really wanted to stay in Foggia a little bit longer, and really help the work boom, but nope. I'm gone, and I'm leaving a city I've really come to love.

So where am I going? Well, give Dad a gold star, because I'm going to Sicillia, a little city called Raguza. Looks like Dad was right, about his transfer guess. Well, I'll submit to the will of the Lord, and go, cheerfully if at all possible so that I can head into another phase of my work.

Okay, so good news: I have photos of Foggia, but I forgot my SD card reader, and I'm packing so, I'll get them to you next week, along with photos of some of the members and my investigators as well.

Sorry your week was boring. Mine was pretty average really, except that at New Year's the Italians go crazy. It was impossible to get to sleep that night, so we saw the fireworks, and I filmed them. It was like the city was being bombed again. There was just so much noise.

Normally on P-Days we just chill around the house, or chill at the church with members. Not to much.

I'm happy that Elder Taggart (our neighbor's son)  is doing well, and that he's in a good area. It's always a nice thing when a missionary is in a good area. It makes a huge difference. Believe me.

Mom: In response to this challenge, please visit the following link. That Link will help you. as you share the Gospel.  But if it doesn't, I recommend reading through Preach my Gospel (I think I left my big copy at home) and seeing what it says in chapter 9, and trying to apply those. That would be a good family home evening activity (hint, hint).

Well, this week, we had our investigating families show up to church, the Perta family and the Razska family. It just seemed like things were perfect, and I was really happy to see them at least once before I left. I talked to them afterwards and they both said that they felt the Spirit super strongly during the testimonies that were borne.

We also met with the Perta family that night, to teach Pietro about tithing, and he accepted without a problem. Our stake had a youth activity for all the youth, and Pietro went, and he loved it. It helped out his progress a lot, and he's now praying for a baptismal date. His progress has been astounding, and I am so happy to have seen the fruits of our labor. He is so ready. It will be hard to miss his baptism.

As for Alessandra, we're seeing her family tomorrow morning, and we're going to share Elder Dube's talk from conference "Look ahead and Believe", as her situation hasn't changed much, but she is making changes now to come to church, and be able to meet with us more. This in itself is a great miracle, and I'm happy to see it.

How do we all work in the same city/area? We just go to work, and see what happens. If we run into each other, one pair of us just moves to a different part. So it's pretty easy.

Well, that's all for me this week. I hope you all enjoy it. Talk to you next week from Raguza. Oh, My comp is Anziano Calchera, from Brigham City, UT. He reported to the MTC in May I believe.
