Ciao a tutti!
Well the week here in Muggio is over. It went by so fast. But I had so much fun! Anz. Escalante and Casper are such great dudes. Plus Sorella Cooper and Yardley are awesome as well! Especially Sorella Cooper, me and her are tight! She's a homie. But it's kinda sad that I'm leaving. Like it's actually been a ton of fun. But it's about that time for me to get back to Piacenza. Yes, I am doing a fourth transfer in Piacenza. We received transfer news on Saturday and I will stay in Piacenza and receive a new companion who is..1- in his fourth transfer ( I'm gonna be in 11, so I have 7 transfers on him, that's a lot! ), 2- he is from Switzerland. Mamma Mia! This is technically my 5th non American comp! That is crazy! 5 non American companions, 3 from Utah, 1 from north Carolina, and 1 trio. What a mission! It's been great! Also my new companions name is Anz. Szvoboda. Very swiss! Haha.
But as for my time in Muggio. We had some lessons with some of the Capi's simps. So that was a lot of fun! We did some finding. They have this super delicious gelateria here so we went to that quite a bit. So good, yum! The ward here is super nice. They were all super sad that I was only here for 1 Sunday. Everyone there was pretty nice.
The missionaries in Muggio have a car. So they have to share between the Anziani and Sorelle. Normally they have enough room, 2 in the front and 2 in the back. But me being there made us cram 3 in the back. So I was squished up in the back with the Sorelle, lol.
Well overall not a bad time in Muggio. Time for a long 7 week transfer, oh boy.
Nah, just kidding. It'll be fine. I'm excited for me and my new comp!
Seeing how next week is Christmas! I want to invite you all to go watch The Christ Child video. It is so good! It's a new video the church came out with that shows the story of the birth of the Savior in a way we haven't really thought of before. You can find the video at thechurchofjesuschrist.org We have a goal here to teach Sii Una Luce (light the world) lessons up until Christmas with our members. And so every time we do one we share this video. So I have seen it quite a bit. And every time without a doubt I feel the spirit so strong. I strongly encourage you to watch it. Maybe more than once. I am so grateful for Jesus and all that he has done for me. The mission hasn't been easy, but during this Christmas season, I have been reminded of the hard things Jesus did. And I know that I have him with me and that I can do hard things as well.
Vi vogliamo bene e buon natale!!
