Weekley

 This week was good today was transfers but I sort of had mine early, as in last week. I was expecting to leave but instead and I might have been slightly irritated if I didn't receive an Italian comp............... I wrote this on pday last week but didn't finish it nor send it.


Now though I am sitting in the dentist office as my companion gets his wisdom tooth removed. On top of that we both got a cold and have been dealing with that, but it is just a cold so it is light work. We had a lesson with our simpatizzante Salvatore. We started of the lesson asking him what the pure love of Christ is to him and his response, although long, was a great testimony and I enjoyed what he said about Christ loving us an incomprehensible about always and forever despite our inability to pay back the smallest amount of our debt to him. Then again this morning (Monday) I was studying in Matthew 18 and Jesus gives a little parable about forgiveness and such in which a servant owed the Lord 10,000 talent. And for those of you who aren't numismatics 10,000 talents is equal to 100,000,000 denarii and 1 denarius was a full day's wage. Needless to say his debt couldn't be paid. Even with this incredible debt the Lord "was moved with compassion" and forgave him of all his debt. I am so so thankful that our unpayable is so freely forgiven from the Lord if we let it be so.

I also will write a weekly email EVERY week for the rest of my mission because I AM SO GREAT I AM SO GREAT EVERYBODY LOVES ME I AM SO GREAT.  Isabelle do you know what that's from?

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.

Why does Turin sound so ugly

The trio is so fun!  Okay story time, I ain't gonna do it justice, but I'll tell y'all the story.  It was a dark cold Italian night. We were getting back a little late from this ysa activity. And we got to the bus stop and there were 2 Africans there, we started talking to them a little bit, unfortunately I am unable to recall was exactly, but nevertheless while were were talking to them a bus came around this corner and the short African ( he had a fun little face, like not ugly, but fun, it is hard to explain) and he was like "that's our bus. We gotta go." In the most serious voice ever. And they just take off sprinting to a different stop to beat that bus, luckily that was our bus too, so we just take off with them running though some crowds and such. After we hopped on the bus with then it was the classic who are you guys, why are you here. Got em. Anyway that was the story more or less, one of then seemed more interested and he invited us to a thing t

Tempo di il Tempio

CIao Ciao Ciao Ciao Come siete? I am ready to leave the MTC, get me out of here, lol. My testimony has grown a lot at the MTC, though prayer, discussions, and the Lord. It is truly amazing how you can completely open up yourself to the Lord in prayer and the instant peace you feel. Something that I have noticed though being really super obedient is that it is a lot easier to love people, like you just want to more and you are able to feel more joy out of it, and you should because you are a servant of the Lord. I have to pack to go to Italy, that is going to be hard, the packing part. I NEED MY MOOOOMMMMYYYYYYYYY!!!!! I should be fine though, I will just make my collega do it hehehehe. I made really good relationships with the Anziani and the Sorelle and the Choro tachy and the shima tachy, I guess that is just because of our united purpose in the Gospel.  I am acutally super happy that I was in the Japanese branch instead of with the rest of the Italians and Romanians and stuff just b
