Week 103 (Muggio, Milano) Service, pizza and vandalism

 



Well here we are everyone. I did say that this would be my last email but then I realized that I will have another week to tell you about, so I will try and squeeze another one in before I hop onto a flight! 


Last week for pday we went to Milano and went to the top of the Duomo. I've been around the Duomo for a year and half and have never gone to the top lol. So I figured that since I'm going home I should probably do that Haha. So that was cool. For Thursday through Saturday we had a rise and reach call each day with our group. So that's been a lot of fun. We are in charge of doing the spiritual thoughts during the calls so we get to teach the youth and it's been great! Saturday we also had a lesson with Marta and Tim. We taught the gospel of Jesus Christ.  And again it was an amazing lesson. Our invite for her last time was to try out prayer and ask for Heavenly Father to help her feel the presence of him and the spirit. And she came back and they had prayed together and personally and she said that she is getting more comfortable with everything and feeling the spirit! So awesome! Super cool miracles being seen here. 

Sunday church was cancelled. We thought that it was because the numbers for the virus are getting a little high again in Italy. But it turns out they canceled it because of "acts of vandalism ". The Muggio church has always had problems with people breaking into it or graffiti or whatever, which is really sad and unfortunate.  I don't know why they had to cancel church because of that but oh well. We did sacrament at home and then joined the elders quorum call. 

Monday our service at the food bank finally started back up! After two weeks of being on vacation.  So we were able to go back there and get some service in, so that was great.  Before that we went to get pizza for lunch. And so I ordered my pizza. Then my comp ordered his. And I heard his order and I thought "wait, that pizza has anchovies on it๐Ÿคฎ". So I went up to him and said uh Anziano do you know what pizza you got. He said yes. I said do you know it has anchovies on it.  And he said wait for real!? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ he decided he would try it but he did not like it so he literally picked all the fish out which took all the cheese with it so he had a bread and a little bit of sauce pizza Haha. Monday we also got permission from president to go to a members house in Cimiano with the Cimiano Anziani for a meal appointment.  I used to serve there and the members asked the Cimiano Anziani if I could come. So that was super cool to go back and see them and eat all together. 

Tuesday we had district meeting. And then we had another lesson with Marta and Tim.  This time we went over the Plan of Salvation.  Which went really well.  She loves that we believe in Eternal Families and it is something she wants. I mean who doesn't want that! But after the lesson they took us to their favorite gelateria and bought us gelato! It was also most likely that last time I see them. So that was sad. They are such good people and I love them a lot. 

Well that's about all I got for this week. Here's to an amazing last week of the mission! 

Vi voglio bene!
