Week 83

Hey mom its so good to hear from you! 
Thanks for sending my International Driving Permit, I got it in the mail this week so I will start driving shortly! I'm pretty excited, but I'm also a bit scared because traffic is nuts here, but that's alright! For Easter, we went to a family's house in the ward that is super awesome!
I have never taught so many lessons throughout my mission than in my
last few months here! Leah told me she thinks she would like to serve
a mission! I think that would be great! It really is a great
experience and I think she would love it! 
For Zone conference we talked about reaching new heights and about not becoming content with where we are and always moving ahead, it was really good! The whole conference was really good except that I had to take $200 dollars out of my account to buy pizza for all 60 of us! Don't worry, the money will be reimbursed! Hahaha! Love you so much!

Week 82

Hi,

Here in Italy for Palm Sunday the Catholics sell palm leaves for people to carry around and wear and stuff it's interesting how much they love their traditions! They have so many that it is hard to keep track of them all! 

The city I'm in, Catania, is the second largest in Sicily. It's pretty famous and it's super pretty because we are right next to the ocean. There is also a volcano, called Etna, that has snow on it right now. 

I love you so much! I'll let you know how my first training goes tomorrow!

Week 81

Hey mom,
It's great to hear anout your weeks and to know how much you
are doing in your own free time! Anxiously engaged in a good cause! I
have a strong testimony that there is always something good to be
doing.  There isn't enough time to fill it with bad things! Give Nathan
some good ideas for how to fill his time. I know that internet use can
be abused way too easily so its good to spend time doing good things
instead of unproductive things or harmful things! Also, I have learned
to clean here in the mission! The people that I'm living with aren't
really the cleanest people so its been a learning process knowing how
to help messy people understand what to do with all the filth
constantly around us in the physical and spiritual sense! I am
learning so much in these short weeks and years that it's nice to
realize every once in a while about how much progress is actually
happening! I hope you have a great week with school and everything!  I
love you guys so much!
