Hey Hey, Likely my Last

Hello everyone!

This is probably my last Pday Email to you. The last time I write a
group email in Italy. The last time that you have to read about a week
that's gone by.

I mainly just have to say that this mission has been so great. I
cannot express a fraction of the feelings that I have experienced or
now experience. Italy is beautiful, and the mission is even more
beautiful. These two years have really changed me.

Thank you Brad, Jarom, Jacob, Brody, Jeff, Jarrett, and other
missionaries that have finished their missions and been examples! And
of course the fabulous sisters that served and made such a difference
here in Italy; Heather, Sarah, Alyssa, Baylee, Whitney, and Abigail!
Thank you Anziani Hansen, Harris, Young, Wheeler, Freckleton, Green,
and Douglas who are all still serving the Lord and doing His will.
Keep it up my companions!
Thank you Mauro, Augustine, Iyke, Robert, my wonderful friends in
Toscana who have made the best choices and done so well! You're
amazing.
And of course Thank You, friends and family of Novara! Serena, Maryke,
Martie and Hans, Ting, and Ester. I think I only enjoyed those 5/6ish
months because of you!

And again, Mauro, Augustine, Iyke, and Ester. You are some of the
strongest members I have ever met! Remember how many people watch you
and your example. We will see each other again. Love you!

Sunday was awesome and spiritual, and after church was the American
Linger Longer, with delicious food and a great turn out!
Other than that, This last week I have nothing to report (except our
water is not working in our apartment, today for Pday we're doing a
baptism interview in Treviso, it's finally raining, and nobody answers
their phone.) so...I guess what a strange way to finish. Hopefully we
can meet with Felix, Elvis, and others before I go.

(No news of my Homecoming, I'll get it to you, maybe find me on
Facebook under my name)
May God Bless you All
