Ciao tutti!!!!!!
This
has been a tiring week. I don't know if its just me getting more and
more tired ever day or the ever increasing heat, but I'm tired. My body
is just kinda tired. It didn't help that this week, we had Stake Conference in Verona (finally got to see it!!!!) and to get there in
time we had to wake up at
4:30
to catch the train. That kinda threw off my sleep schedule, but I'm
surviving. Don't worry, I'm still enthusiastic for the work, even though
its not going super great right now. I know that there are still people
for me to find here in Bergamo. Anz Lingardo and I were talking about
how we want to improve for this next transfer together, and we are going
to work our butts off. This is my last one, so there is no time for
screw-ups. I've only got 6 short weeks left and I want to make them
count.
A miracle from yesterday. We had a lesson cancel during
the morning, so on our way home to do 12 week, we stopped this man.
After talking to him for a little bit, we found out that not only did he
used to come to church, but he had also been to a baptism before here
in Bergamo. He told us that he had a Book of Mormon, but he had lost it.
When we told him that we could get him another copy, he was more than
willing to exchange numbers and meet us again. We also found out that
his sister also used to come to church and still lives here in Bergamo.
We will hopefully be able to bring both of these siblings back into the
gospel.
Like I mentioned earlier, we went to Stake Conference in Verona this past Sunday.
It was so awesome. That city is gorgeous. It's just got such a cool
feel to it. Super touristy, but I liked it. I got to see "Juliet's
house", which was pretty cool. I think it would be worth a a quick stop
by on our trip. But the best part of conference was the area 70, Elder
Kearon, who came to speak to us. He is such a cool man. It was really
weird to hear him speak in English and then have it translated into
Italian. It's odd to hear the same thing is two different languages that
you understand. haha
He gave some really powerful talks, especially his Saturday evening talk during the adult session. After the Sunday
session, I had the opportunity to go and talk to him for just a few
seconds, but he was very nice and grateful for us as missionaries.
In
a more touristy sense, last p-day, Linghi (Anz Lingardo) and I went and
hiked to the top of the mountain to the Bergamo cross (Canto Alto). It
was a pretty hard hike. Got pretty slippery and steep in a couple spots,
but nothing dangerous. The view from the top was amazing. Looking
straight out into the snow covered alps. I love nature. I'll try and send
some pictures.
I'm excited to see you all in a few weeks. That's totally crazy.
Well, I love you all so much and I wish you all the best in these next few weeks.
Sorry this email is kinda lame, I'm really tired right now. haha. I'm like falling asleep at the computer. haha
