The Little Things the Make Time Pass:

(They're called gears)

Oh hey..hmmm it's another Pday already. Seems like I have to type out
another email about all the wonderful things I've done in Italy
recently. Well, for starters, I taught lessons. We watched Meet the
Mormons with Ester and her mother, that was great. We taught Ting the
full lesson on the Gospel, again with the help of Ester. Ester teaches
as much as we do.
We had a heap of cancelled lessons, which is normal, and we had a lot
of scheduled appointments disappear or lost after endless phone calls
without answers. That's also normal.
It's getting hot...nowhere near as bad as last year, so I have no
complaints. I can still sleep with my bedcovers on, so it's not
unbearable...obviously.

But all in all, I am doing fine! A pinched nerve in my neck has been
my only setback, I just have to ignore. This week was transfers, so
Anziano Sean Penfold in our district was moved to Modena, I believe,
and in came Anziano Lott to Vercelli. Both he, and my companion, are
in their last transfers. Both will be 'dying' this transfer, and both
Anziano Carnahan and I will be 'killing' them...which means we will
both probably do at least another transfer here after they go! (Unless
they still close this area in Novara)

Tonight, Jake, our American friend is beginning a book reading
tutorial class to help teach English to Italians. Since we don't have
an English class running here in Novara, he's asked us to join and
participate (for free)'and it should help our missionary work by a
lot. The class will be reading Tom Sawyer. If you want to join...uh,
come to Novara.

Now here's the uplifting spiritual part! These are the things I've
read, and brief summaries:
John 1:1-14. Who can deny that Jesus Christ is the light and the life?
What a great passage.

Malachi 3:6. For he is the same! Mormon 9:9, there's no shadow of a changing?
If God never changes, than neither does the gospel, and neither does scripture!

2 Nephi 29:8-9. God's work is not yet finished, and never will be in
your lifetime. Learn all that you can from the witnesses that He
lives! (Everything)

Benché sono timido e non parlo molto, io ho una testimonianza! So
sicuramente che Gesù Cristo è l'unico genico figlio del nostro Padre
Celeste, e loro ci amano più che comprenderemmo mai. Il Libro di
Mormon è un libro di scritture sacre, è stato scritto per nostro
benessere spirituale. Queste cose sono fatti a me, e loro rendo qui
nel nome di Gesù Cristo..Amen
