Torino

I am no longer in Alessandria, I am in Torino or Turin in English. They closed Alessandria for the Anziani because there is a shortage of Anziani in the mission. It is really sad to leave them... but now I am in a trio in Torino with Anziano Szvoboda (who was in the MTV with me ) and Anziano DeBeikas but spelt right lol. This will be fun. They are both cool fun guys. Anziano Szvoboda is from Switzerland and is like 22 the other is from California like 19. I am excited to meet new people and use this as an opportunity to keep changing, my language is not very good yet, but with these two I hope to continue 
to improve. I will upload pictures some point dab. Anyway, it was cool yesterday we had a meeting with Daniele in person, the first time since we met him, it was so awesome, he has such strong faith in Christ, such a desire and he is very funny and a little weird, but weird is normal. We gave him a baptism date for the 14th of December. He is going to continue reading and praying. It was cool to hear his thanks and appreciation 
for us before we left, it is so awesome to see people searching for Christ and helping them along the way! I know this Gospel brings joy. I know that Jesus is our savior and our brother.
Ciao 
Vi voglio bene

Week...

This week was good, we had exchanges this week. I was with Anziano Hibbard, he is great he bought me a Pizza and apparently he doesn't buy anyone anything so. We had a missionary training yesterday in Millan and I saw some MTC missionaries. We had another lesson with Daniele, he is so awesome, he doesn't yet have a testimony of something's, but he really has a desire and knows what it takes. I got chocolate milk today  yummy, I love everyone so much a love being able to learn and grow I love Jesus Christ. I love the Gospel.  What else happened, I don't know. I forget. A missionary who came in like 75 visited for the first time sense they opened Italy up, it is awesome seeing their joy when they see the ward, cause when they were here there was no one. But we got to visit a very inactive member with him who was baptized right before he came so cool, she was soooooo happy to see him.

THIS Week

This week was really good. We had a Family Home evening with a recent convert and a strong family and the recent convert, Betty, invited 2 other people whom are non members. So awesome Betty loved it tons, and it was all thanks to the one member (I think I talked about him last week, but I can't remember, so if not rip rip). And that leads me to this  Member work is so so important, people need friends, they NEED THEM. We have this one lady who we visit with sometimes, she hasn't gone to church in like 30 years, because some of the people weren't nice, that is sooo sad. I was also reading a story from Gordon B Hinckley and one of the people he converted, who was a bright young fellow, fell away from the Church soonish after because he had a calling and made a mistake, when he did so one of the people he was with as Hinckley put it "was a man I can best describe as being short on love and strong on criticism." Those words have really stuck with me for a couple

MTC

The MTC is good. The first couple of days have been good. Life is super simple and straight forward in the MTC, but it is also challenging and rewarding. Some of the Italians, Including me are in one of the first branches with multiple languages and missions that are not even similar. We have Japanese, Italian,English, Australian. The instructor does not only speak Italian, at least not yet. No general authorities, I think we might go to the temple once before we leaves. I met my companion in the airport before the flight. He is from Wyoming, in the one popular place. Love you. Anziano Hymas I am also curious how Italians we pronounce my name, cause h is silent and they have like no y’s Seeing Elder Hymas off at the airport.
