La Terra di Promessa

Ciao tutti! Well, if you remember from last week, I have been transferred from good old Bologna to Milano, the area of Navigli. And let me just say, Navigli is awesome!! We have a ton to do here in this area. We kinda run around like nuts all day trying to do everything. Luckily, we will have exchanges. And they opened up a new coppia of Sorelle (my new amazing roommates), so we can get everything done and even some more than before! This area is really thriving right now, and we are expecting to see some good work these next few transfers.

This week contained a lot of firsts! I had my first Sunday in my new ward, which contains President and Sorella Allen and the Assistants, the other Sorelle, and one other coppia of Anziani. The ward is so great! I also had my first consiglio, which I think is called like Mission Leadership Conference or something in English. It's where all the STLs and Zone Leaders meet up in Milano to talk about the mission with President and the APs and sutff. It was so cool to be a part of! I learned a lot. Then yesterday we had combined district meeting with the whole zone in Como! So I got to see some of beautiful Como (not much). But we are going back for P day next week!

As far as work here, our most solid investigator is Mily from Peru. She thought she was a member for a long time, but she realized she's not. We saw her yesterday and fixed a really solid bap date with her for Apri 28th. And she is so solid! She uses all her free time to study the scriptures, and she wants to learn everything! She's so sick, and we're really excited for her baptism. We also got another new simp, and we have some other cool simps and potentials that we are working with. 

John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

I know that this is true! Jesus really is the Christ, our Savior and friend. Knowing Him and following Him is the only way that we can truly be happy in this life and in the next. I love being here in Italy as a missionary! Vi voglio bene! Until next week!

Navigli means canal.  Milan had a series of navigable canals that are now mostly covered.
