Eravamo Bloccati.....

Buongiorno!!! This past week was crazy.( Like usually, I don't remember what a normal day is like anymore)- So Anziano Hutchinson and I are doing some good work here in Cuneo. We found a Brazilian family that lives about an hour from Cuneo. They are very faithful in God and they are looking to strengthen their faith in him. They are really kind and gentile(Italian word that I do not know how to translate into English because it has replaced the English word in my mind). They were really cool because they really tried to figure out or message and committed to read the book of Mormon. After that lesson we got stuck in that little town because another bus wasn't going to come for another 3 hours and it started to get windy and then it eventually rained. It was a lot of fun. Its got pretty cold here, winter is definitely here. We had to turn on our heaters the other day. Last pday I bought a football at a sports store so we are really excited to exercise in the morning because we just throw the ball around. On Sunday we did a mostra, that is, we set up a table in centro and had stuff ready to hand out and we talked to tons of people. It was a lot of fun. My companion loved it because he talked to tons of cool people, I however, was fortunate to have the Jehovah s witness, and Evangelists to come to talk to me and try to argue with me. Luckily they cant argue when I have the book of Mormon on my side! We still are looking for investigators, we still don't have any but that's okay, we are looking to improve and we are seeing cool little miracles all the time. Yesterday we went to a conference in Alessandria(A city near Torino) and we learned a lot of cool stuff. The main topic was desire. Our desires determine what we do, which determines who we are, then shapes who we will become. It was really cool to learn about this. We are searching to change our desires and focus more on this wonderful work! Its so weird to think that time has flown by so fast. Yesterday I completed 11 months in the mission! I feel like I have only been out for like 2 months! Its so insane! Whats even crazier that all of the anziani that have been my companions (Anziano Russo, Anziano Scheurn, and Anziano Boscia) all go home next transfer and my companion now goes home after this transfer. I wont know ANYONE! Its soo crazy. My group in a bit will be the biggest group in the mission.Its sooo weird! I hope you all are well that you keep enjoying yourselves! Have a great WEEK!
