Good day!
Well mother! the question isnt who will the next pope be its why did he really resign? i will tell you why...it was about 1 month ago and he visited trento when i was there we talked and i told him that his church was false and that he needed to read the book of mormon and he said he would then i said if you recieve an answer that it is true you must leave the catholic church! so as we all can see he got an answer....he doesnt want to tell people that was the real reason why cause thats just not a good story for the paper! so thats why the pope has resigned now the next pope no one knows cause the cardinals do there thing....and the catholic church stuff or italian stuff isnt the talk here in brescia! because there are no italins!!! right now im at a super ghetto interent point where we two are the only white and christian people and no ones native language is italian so who knows what they may be sayin about them two gringos on the computers!
ohh yes i have a new buisness idea...a....PIADINERIA! A piadina shop! a little place like zuppas but piadinas it can even be called piadineria! wouldnt that be awesome? if you dont know what it is google it!....mmmmm cibo! i always have food on my mind!
anyways lets see what can i tell you about this week?
well first ihave a funny photo of my comp but these computers i really do not trust so i dont think i will be uploading anything or plugging anything in so next week!
plus plenty of photos of bresica!
lets see with the work!
we got christiane to church on sunday so that was awesome!!! except our ward stinks they arent good at friendshipping strangers so that was kinda sad, some were but for the most part she was always by her self or with us!!!! which shouldnt be like that!! Grrrr members!! but she enjoyed church none the less
swami is the same...just documents, documents, documents, i would like to drop him but maybe if we endure it well he will get his documents and then baptize
norman is still super awesome he wants to come to church just he works for the soccer team so he is always occupied on sunday until the end of march or april somthin like that. however he did ask me to ask you and dad if we know anyone it austrailia around brisbane cause he is moving there and needs a place to stay for like 2 weeks he said he is willing to pay a good amount of money...(he is a physiotherapist) so he is pretty well off, he is 35 and super awesome i wouldnt care to ask you or dad if i didnt trust him but if dad knows anyone there or around that would like to make some extra cash that would be great he speaks english abbastanza bene and ya. so get back to me with this asap so i can let him know if its possible. he would be going in june and we will meet with him every saturday until he leaves and he will prolly get baptized before he goes so ya.
cheng zhen same story just family doesnt want him too so once his family is open to it he will baptize!
we did find this super cool girl who is maybe 19 or 20. her name is lucrezia for now she is busy these few days with school but maybe towards the end of this week or next week we can meet with her! shes young, italian, a girl, and attractive so the ward would love to have this girl become a member and we believe she will, just gotta meet with her!! then BAPTISM!!!!
well one thing i can sure bear my testimony on is trials that we each have and how we face them. here on the mission i have met people not of the church and of the church with every type of difficulty you can immagine. and let me tell ya the ones who were members that continued to push through no matter how hard it was always recieved the help in the end. there is a member in trento his name is marcello he got baptized about 2 years ago, he lived here in brescia he is from moldavia, when he was here he didnt have a home and zero money and he left his family in moldavia to find work here, he lived homeless for about 3 years i believe maybe more, once he met the missionaries and started doing what was right his life slowly changed, he still faced the same trials but he had more joy and understood more fully of why there are these trials and he came to church always and got baptized here in brescia then he moved to trento "moved" got on a train to trento got here and was afraid to get caught by the police cuase he had zero documentation that night at about midnight he found a cardboard box and dragged it until he found a nice place to sleep that was seluded from others the next morning he woke up was now able to see where he was. walked around the building of which he was sleeping behind and what building was it? it was the church of jesus christ of latter day saints! he told us that at that moment he knew god loved him and was always watching over him even though he still faced and faces the same trials he never doubted that god helped him through it. he is now the 2nd conselour in trento, he was able to bring his family here to italy and now they have a little place to stay, he hasnt found stable work yet but he knows that the blessings that he has had little as they may have been are what changed his life and gave him hope when there was none.
dont worry its not a confidential story when you come to trento he will prolly tell you it and show you where he slept.
this is just a little story of how we can never give up. blessings will always come we just have to have the right heart to recognize them and be able to accept them.
it is the same for me!
God does certain things to test us. He wants to know if we really love him cause, if we love him we will do whatever it takes to show him our love and that nothing can stop us from choosing that which is right. and if we endure it well he will bless us but he wants to test our faith. This is a very critical time it is not a time to be "flakey" with the commandments that god has given us, choose to follow some and not the others. we all as a family need to be dedicated to our heavenly father and show that we love him by doing what is right no matter what happens we do not know heavenly fathers plan for little tyler but we can show that we want everything to be ok as long as we commit to it.
so an invite to the whole Family from the mitchells, to the andersons, to the hallseys.
commit now that you will do all that our heavenly father asks of us no matter what happens, because we do not know what will happen! it is like the story of abraham and his son isaac. abraham was so dedicated and commited that he would do whatever it took to show god that he loved him, even to sacrifice his own son isaac, as we was about to sacrifice isaac, knife in the hand ready to finish the job, an angel "jesus christ" appeared to abraham and stopped him and isaac was saved and abraham was blessed for his commitment to the commandments! this is what we all need to do! not literally we all love little isaac and it may not have the same outcome so no acutal sacrificing of isaac!...isaac if you see any strange activity well you best get outta there! haha
anyways hopefully you all understood what i said as meg would say i kinda just mind vomited on all ya!
anyways love you all
i love the mission
and my companion is very afraid of the bed bugs on the trains i told him about!!!!! BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH
