Email and Pics from 12/1/2014
I have to apologize as I have personally been swamped with ending my administrative program through Southern Utah University. That is completed so now I have more time so here is Anziano Eads' emails from late and pictures from their trip to Pompeii. Enjoy! Nathan's Dad.
Hey you guys! How's it going? Sorry for the late email, but we went to the Napoli Underground. It's tight. Also, I may send two emails, so we can get ready for the Skype, call. But we'll see, because I have to talk to the others first. Probably more info next Monday on the Skype call.
Any who, home stuff first like always.
Mom: Happy Thanksgiving to you as well! Unfortunately we don't celebrate Thanskgiving here, so it was just a normal Thursday for me. I'm happy that dinner went well, and that you were able to cook everything at a leisurely(sic) pace. If you want, we can start doing that every year.
I'm glad you enjoy the Bose speaker. Bose is a great speaker brand, one of the best. I love their headphones that block out all exterior noise. They helped on the bus ride home in high school.
I will say that I miss the decorations. Won't lie, got a little homesick when I saw the pics, but meh! I'll be home way to soon, I don't have time to be homesick. They look really good! Sorry about the back though, just rest and it'll get better.
I'll actually shoot them (Kendra and Marcus) an email and let them know that I'm thinking about them, and to tell them I expect to see them at the skype session, and of course to build them up!
Coda better live till I get back! (Coda is our Beagle who has been having some major back issues).
I find it funny that Slle Perkins said that, when we had no interaction on the mission. She was supposedly one of the coolest sisters in the mission. I can't confirm that because I never served in the same city as her.
Dad: Only PJ's this year! Man have you guys cut back! Just kidding. It's better to get out of debt than to have special things for Christmas, as long as you have the spirit of Christmas in your hearts, that's what matters. Good luck with all those little projects you have going on! Things will work out!
As for a dry sense of humor, I have completely lost that sense of humor. I almost feel as if the mission has made me intelligent in spiritual things, but a I have lost a lot of my intelligence in temporal and human things. I have almost lost my sarcasm and dry wit! It's scary! (Dad: Look at the pictures from Pompeii, I don't think Anziano Eads' sense of humor is too far gone).
Okay so as for my work:
Things are good. Work is going along fantastic.
Claudio and Evelina have a baptismal date for the 20th and they will be great. Well, at least Evelina. She feels ready, but Claudio isn't so sure, so we're going to try and figure out what's holding him back, and then help him overcome his block.
But we have high hopes that they will make it, and at the very least, if only Evelina gets baptized then she will be an example to Claudio and that will help him to make his decision.
Sara is also doing well and making good progress, she also has a date for the 20th. She is honestly doing really well, she's almost a golden investigator. SHe's reading the Book of Mormon, praying, really content with the church. We have the date because we want her to make sure she has a great testimony and that it's solid.
That honestly about it seriously. Our other investigators haven't been able to meet with us. We not giving up hope however! WE are finding and contacting people to make sure that things work out.
Well, there we go! Love you guys! Hear from you super soon!

Weekly Email November 24th, 2014
Taking care of things from home:
Mom: Sounds like you were a little busy this week. Grandma stuff, then getting ready for Thanksgiving, and then work, man, sounds busy. And thanks for the updates about Seattle, hopefully we can beat the Niners, and rub it in Dad's face again like last year.
Hopefully things go good for you and your company. Don't worry, I've got Dad's back!
Dad: Glad that school's finally over for you. Things should be better now that that's over.
Kinda scared about that vision you had....don't really want more than three...boh, we'll see what happens.
Both: Man, poor Coda, hope things are gonna be better. He better learn that he can't jump on me when I get home. So yeah, I'll try and send Pompeii pics later today, but we'll see.
And yeah, here's my week:
Great week! I'm super happy because of everything that happened this week!
Firstly, I'll talk about our three investigators who have accepted the invitation to be baptized.
So, with Claudio and Evelina we met with them and talked about praying, scripture study, keeping the sabbath day holy, obidience, and baptism and confirmation, and then invited them to be baptized, on the 6th of December. They accepted, but we may have to move the date a little bit, because Claudio is still a little hesitant about it. But we're certain that with time he'll come around. But things are going well with them.
Then there's Sarah. We met with Sarah and Rosanna last night, taught them the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and invited them to be baptized. Rosanna said that right now wasn't the right moment, but Sarah accepted, and now has a date for the 20th of December. She's really certain about this, and we're confident that she'll make it to the date. Valentina wasn't there, but the next time we meet with them, we'll invite her as well.
Besides that, we met with some of our less actives and new converts this week. We went with Nicola, a less active, and gave a blessing to his Uncle who is pretty sick, and then talked about faith with his aunt who was a little shaken in her faith. He then told us we could visit him any time.
We also met with Francesca, whose a new convert...or something. We talked about sharing the gospel, and how even tiny things can bring great things to pass. She liked it, and said that she would continue talking about the Gospel to her friends and the like.
And, yeah, that was our week. A pretty great week if I say so. The Lord is definitely blessing us, and we are definitley going to be seeing more blessings this week.
Okay, next week, love you guys!

Pictures from Anziano Eads Farewell L'Aquila and Hello Napoli
Here are pictures and stuff from Anziano Eads leaving L'Aquila and in Napoli (Naples).
Okay, so here come some pics. Don't worry, I did some work before this, I'm covered.
So, here come some pics of L'Aquila, and then maybe Pompeii. One is a game we found, called Oddly Obvious, it's fun, and we should try and find it back home.
Next is a lasagna that I made, probably the best thing I've cooked in my life.
Then, there's the channel of 99 heads where there are 99 fountains. It's kinda cool, there's really only 96 three of the "heads" are just steel pipes....but whatever.
Then there's a Ferrari that we saw randomly on the streets. Pretty tight!
So there's a random one of Tew and Mika on the roof. Both are awesome, and cool.
Then there is Anziano Rigby. He was our district leader, and was a bit of a bum....at least in this shot but not as a missionary. He's a cool dude, and a dragone.
Zone Conf!
Next few pics are shots of friends from Zone Conference.
First picture is Anziano Gemmell. Boss.
Later down the line, random comp shot with my current comp....................................
More shots of people I know, and then......
SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND COLDNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Custode family. Big family, big hearts, 100% converted to the Gospel. Man, they are awesome!
Tew and I looking for people. In a destroyed house........honestly just trying to be funny.
Giant scambio, not enough beds, equals missionaries cuddling.
Woolsey once again. He dies this transfer. Had to get one shot with my follow up trainer.
District shot. We tried to replicate a soccer team shot. It's not bad.

Weekly Email November 17th 2014
Okay, so, like always, what's going on with you guys first. And like always mum first.
Mom: I'm so sorry about the downstairs. Seven garbage bags is ridiculous, and I promise my room wasn't that bad! (well, it was at least 4 bags from inside of the boxes Nathan had packed! I had to get it out of the boxes! Nathan's Mom! Hopefully he has changed that behavior . . . ). Sorry that you're always packing. If it helps, I packed this week too. Read later in the email.
I'm glad you guys are full tithe payers. Tell everyone I say hi, and I'll probably send some pictures to you guys later, but I'll have to wait till I can get into the church. I don't trust internet points.
Dad: Thanks for the pictures, they are awesome! And I'm sorry that you can't help Mom. Don't worry, I won't disobey your rules about no gluten in the house. No wonder you still were getting sick! I thought I did pretty good at that, but chi sa? Not sure about the bed set. Whatever you guys want, I'm not picky.
Good luck this week Daddy. Your almost done!
Both: Pompeii was awesome! Totally ruined, and totally cool! The pics are awesome! We also did it as a quasi zone p-day. We were basically missing one city, but it was still cool. A lot of my friends are here in the zone, so I'm happy.
Well, one heck of a weird week this one. You know how I told you this week was going to be amazing? Well, it was, but not in a way I was expecting. Basically this week was a busy, and draining one.
Long story short, we moved houses, and the house we moved into was super old, nasty, and needed a good cleaning, so that took up a lot of our time. We did meet with some people though, so good things happened.
We met with Isuru and taught the Restoration in full. We watched the film with him, and he was touched. Didn't feel right to invite him to baptism yet, but we'll be getting that one this next time. WE committed him to continue to read the Book of Mormon.
We also met with Rosanna and her daughters again. That family is great! We retaught the Restoration, as one of the daughters missed that lesson, so we thought it would be a good idea. They loved it, and accepted it right away. Again, no date as of yet, but this week for sure!
Then we had a small lesson with Claudio and Evelina, about faith. They had a friend who participated, and it went really well. They have no problem with anything. Another family that will have a date this week.
Okay, so that's what we did this week. A whole lot of chaos, followed by some good things at the end. As Dad teaches being flexible in life is a critical life skill! This week is going to be that week of amazing things that we told you about next week!
Later!

Weekly Email November 10th 2014
Well, my beloved parents, how are you?
I'm super good, but I'll get to that in a minute. Also, might be a shorter email, we're going to POMPEII today!!!!!!!!
Mom: Go Seattle! We'll make it at least to the playoffs!
Sounds like things are going pretty good in the ward, and congrats on the new students, and on festival of trees! I can't wait to go see it again some day!
Dad: Busy week then? Yeah, I'll do my best to send a postcard to Grandma, so here goes. Hopefully I can remember how to use a scope. I may have to practice in the backyard before I go out to the West Desert with you.
Here's hoping the interviews go well.
Both: Sounds like the symphony was awesome. Classical music has become a staple part of my musical diet. LOTR is key!
Well, another week of miracles.
We got a huge amount of work going for us now. All our investigators are great, making great progress, and our investigator pool is huge! We have ten investigators, which has been the biggest amount of my entire mission, and all are amazing. All really have a desire to learn more, and honestly know.
So, we taught almost all of them this week, except Isuru, but he had to help his uncle so understandable. This next week, we're going for a lot of baptismal dates, and I personally believe that the Lord will help us meet that goal.
Overall, the Lord is blessing our work, and us so much, and I'm super grateful for that! Things can only get better from here!
Okay, so Anziano McArthur is from Oceanside, California, about 30 minutes out of San Diego. He was here for one transfer before me, so it's very likely and probably will happen that we end up staying together for a long time.
I'm in a branch and things are really good. The branch just got a new church building, so we've been using that a lot for work and the like, especially since it's basically dead center of Napoli. Yeah, Mom, no pics until I get home. I'll be sending L'Aquila pics later today, so you can enjoy those.
Okay the, I think that's all. Love you guys!

Anziano Eads' Release Date Letter
Here is a copy of the release date letter from Anziano Eads' Mission President. MARCH 3rd!!! is the date!!!!!!
To the Family of Anziano Eads
Elder Eads will be completing his mission 03 Mar 2015 .
We are extremely grateful for the time we have been able to spend with your missionary as he has served the Lord and the people here in Italy. However, the time has come when we must look ahead and help you make plans for his return home.
If your missionary is planning to go to school soon after his return home, we ask that you take care of the enrollment process so that it will not be distracting and time consuming for him . Any questions regarding school and other plans should be done in your regular emails. If there are extenuating problems, feel free to call us and we can help work them out.
The Church encourages missionaries to travel directly home from their missions. Any other travel is permitted only when the missionary is (1) accompanied by at least one of his parents or guardians and (2) the duration of travel is limited to not more than two weeks. We ask that you be sensitive to the desires of your missionary when making this decision. Many look forward to returning home with their MTC group and to the "traditional welcome home" experience of greeting their family at the airport.
If you decide to pick up your missionary here in Rome, your plans must be based on the release date established by the mission president. Parents are encouraged not to request a change in the date to accommodate other travel plans or commitments. Parents should advise the mission office as early as possible if they plan to pick up their missionaries.
Parents who wish to pick up their missionary need to arrange travel for themselves and their missionary. Church Travel will send a reimbursement check to the family in the amount the Church would have spent on the ticket for the missionary. The check will be sent one month before the missionary's release date. Parents are required to contact Church Travel to let them know they will pick up their missionary so Church Travel does not book the missionary's flight. If you do not contact Church Travel or choose to pick up your missionary after Church Travel has purchased your missionary's ticket, you might not be eligible for reimbursement if the ticket purchased by Church Travel is non-refundable. You will be responsible to absorb the penalty to cancel the ticket. You MUST email Katy Talbot at Church Travel and tell her you will be picking up your missionary. When you have the return travel itinerary for your missionary you must also email this information along with a copy of the purchased ticket with the amount you paid and your current mailing address to Katy Talbot.
Her email is:
***Whether you are picking up your missionary or not, we ask that you inform the mission office which AIRPORT you would like your missionary to fly home to. Please include the AIRPORT CODE. Please send your response to Sister Stevens at
Sister Waddoups and I would like to thank you for the support you have given us and your missionary. We ask that you help your missionary continue to work hard and stay focused in his missionary work. The last six months in the field often prove to be the most fruitful for our missionaries.
Best personal regards
Michael G. Waddoups
President
Italy Rome Mission
PS If you will be picking up your missionary, you may pick him up at the Mission Home on 03 Mar 2015 anytime after 8am. The address is:
