As you may know, we had a mission conference last Wednesday from Elder Kearon of the Seventy. Our train left at 6:10 in the morning and we made our way to Modena. Sadly, I didnt see much of the city, and not even a glimse of the Ferrari factory, but the conference was grande.
It all began with Kearon shaking every single missionary's hand, and then a brief talk by the President Dibb and his wife. They spoke on preparation and planning. Kearon added to that afterwards talking about attacking the day and pretty much everything else that had to do with missionaries.
The spirit was strong, the conference lasted a long while, and it was a marvelous experience. One huge point we discussed was about the Spirit's role in conversion. We discussed how every true conversion for members was when a person became independantly reliable on the Spirit and our Savior. We also talked about example, and how it affects companions and members and investigators, and we also talked about a great deal of other things.
I wish I could put more notes here.
The rest of the week has been a bit slower, sadder, all that... Brother Fred, he's going back to Nigeria so we cant meet with him until he returns. Fred and Agnis they have tougher schedules and we can hardly meet them. Tonight we cross our fingers and pray to meet.
Crisitano, he didnt come to church and his schedule also changed. We told him that church is switching to Sacrament first (a recent announcement from sunday) and he said he'll be there. We can hopefully meet with him next week.
The rest of everything has been finding work, passing cards, the Saturday 'mostra' that we do, and having people refuse to give phone numbers... its not terrible.
I do love this mission and I'm excited to see what I can do and change.
miss you all!
