A new companion and staying in Trento

Ciao family and friends!

Such a great week again! I can't believe it is already February. I love February!  We have been pretty blessed here in Trento so we have been busy all the time teaching such awesome investigators.

Last Saturday night we had African culture night at the chapel and it was so much fun! Pretty stressful getting everyone and all the food together but it worked out perfectly! There was food from Nigeria and the Ivory Coast. It was really interesting but good. Watching the Italians eat African food with their hands was priceless. We got a lot of new people who are now interested in the church so it was a huge success.

 The next day, Sunday, Anziano Beaulac spoke in church and it was really good. He will be missed! After church we had lunch at a members house and we ate a famous Trentino dish called Canniderly. It was amazing! Its the size of a tennis ball and its made of bread, flower, cheese, and meat. Molto Buono!!

 We had our last district meeting last Monday with the best district ever! We were going to do an exchange with Bolzano but the elders there had to pack for transfers. Yesterday, a man named Samson called us and said he wants to be taught by the missionaries again! Well we met with him and he brought his friend and they both want to learn more. So excited! We have a baptism this weekend for Gilbert who is from Nigeria. He is a solid guy who has changed completely into such a great soft hearted humble man. Im am so excited for it! We also will be having a baptism next week on Friday the 12th on my birthday! The best birthday present ever, we are hoping all works out.

 Transfers were this week! I am staying in Trento for at least another 5 weeks and I am getting Anziano Lott who is from Washington. I hear he is a great guy who likes to work hard.

I really love all this great work and I seriously love being a missionary. I know that in the grand scheme of things, the challenges we receive in life are really blessings. I am grateful for all the ups
and downs in life and here in the mission because I have grown to be a stronger child of God. If we continue to be positive about all things life will just be way better.

Have a great week everyone! Love you all!
