excited, for sure.
Saturday we received our transfer news and I am staying here in
Novara. Stale months of mugginess await, but my next companion is much
fresher in the mission. His name is Anziano —— Wheeler, he's from ——,
he's coming into his 5th transfer. that's it
Next week you'll have more for sure.
This week has been that week of awaited goodbyes and long-due
last-moment photos with Anziano Jaques and the people he likes here.
Sunday was fast and testimony meeting and he gave his last farewell at
the pulpit. He is currently packing.
Both Ting and Maryke came to church again, neither considered
otherwise, and they were very happy at the end. Ester will be gone
this next month but the other ward members have opened up and become
friends so we are not worried.
Yesterday we had lunch (sushi again, I'm so sick of going to sushi
buffets when I despise them so) at the mall with Victor, Ting, and
Maryke. Afterwards at Galliate we had a massive lesson with Maryke,
Ting, and Serena present. It was awesome, spiritual, and at the end
Maryke told us she wanted to be baptized on Aug. 23, which is the
Tuesday before transfers. She asked me to preform the baptism which I
will do gladly!!! I hope that it doesn't get pushed back or else I may
not be here to do it!
Serena wants to come to church next week, and It looks like we're
going to double the Relief Society within a year if they all get
baptized :)
Well, that's all for now. I do not have time to respond to every email
or to write everyone personally, but I do Thank You.
Love you all!
