Anyways I am doing well here in Italy even tho things around me are kinda cray cray. It seems like everyone around me is dropping like flies!! Friends from this mission as well as around the worl and stuff are going home but we are just chilln' here in the epicenter.
This week was good we were able to teach the word of wisdom to blessing and the plan of salvation to M and we've been teaching the restoration to the members so we are still very much preaching the gospel which is good and makes me feel like a missionary again.
We had a tender moment with a family of the branch were we read with them Joseph Smith history when it talks about the first vision. Then we made a huge list with them of why they were grateful for that event. What was restored that they were grateful for. I said that I was grateful for the plan of salvation and I really am. It gives purpose to our entire life. It was really good to ponder about the first vision and the restoration and to bear testimony about it even if all of them already knew it.
Speaking of the restoration, I have been listening to this podcast that is on gospel library about Joseph Smith's experience in 1820. It's really really good and goes into a lot of details about why the Smiths moved to that area and why there was all this religious commotion at the time. Even what Joseph's sensational experience must have been like as he entered the grove. I would recommend it to you guys.
WELL how are things going over there? I hope you are finding things to fill the time with. I was thinking that if I were home during this time then I would be a lot more bored haha. I definitely would waste more time. So I'm still grateful to be here and I'm not comin home any time soon.
I love you all and I miss you guys.
