hello hello!,
any way,
my investigator Jackson! hes doing so great! i talk to him almost every day and he is going through the book of mormon for the first time. his enthusiasm to read and understand is so inspiring. he just relates everything that hes learning to his prior knowledge of scripture and Faith. he has a tremendous amount of faith which is also just an example to me. anyway, i call him every night to check up on him and make sure hes studying (under his request) and he always has something so crazy happen to him. for example earlier in the week he was at home with all the other refugees that he lives with and after lunch everyone takes a nap. everyone was sleeping and a fire started in the back yard. they all woke up to a huge cloud of smoke just outside their windows. His 2 year ould son in hand he grabs a hose and starts fighting the fire making sure it didnt get to the house. e then gave out orders for everyone to grab buckets and through water on the plants and everything thats close to the house. after a few minutes the fire men arrived and took care of it. the whole back yard was black but the house remained in tact. another time he had told us that his brother is trying to come to italy but he hadnt heard from him in about 3 weeks. once your out of your home country the cell phones dont work anymore. everyone uses prepaids its annoying. anyway, he was praying that he would feel comfort about his brother being safe becuase he was also excorting jacksons other son to italy and he prayed about it for three days he said and then he turned on the TV and saw his brother in the back round of a reporter on the news with his son haha. he relates everything so well too. hes since heard from his brother and will be seeing him soon. woo! Fratello Deplano calls him jackson 5 but he says it inglese so it makes it way funnier. italian accent just make inglese sound so funny. haha
tranfers were this week! haha im staying here with Russell but every other companionship is changing in Sardegna. Reed is up in Sassari but hell be with an anziano from oristano that rules and some other changes are happening too. Sorella Riffaldi is transfering to Roma 2 so thats sad but sweet for her. sorry about the mission lingo its just easier this way. i had to buy a new bag becuase my last one broke! i had a talk with my companion th even though when things are dirt cheap it doesnt always mean theyre better. haha. i spent a little more and gota real durable one. i set a goal for myself to read the entire standard works by my 6 month mark. the bible is jsut wild. so many cool and weird things. but yeah i suggest reading the pearl of great price again or if you havent. great info. and ive also been studying the 9th section of the doctirne and covenants. Its something everyone should know very well. anyway, reading through the Book of mormon in another language is something special truly. i read it once already in italian but i still wasnt very good at understanding everything. im still not great but reading it through again is way cool. that way different words get across the same meaning and how italian can be beautified. When people write in Italian they use a different type of language thats more fluid and prettier, people say. ive seen it definitely in the LDM libro di mormon. anyway i have to go. im hungry i need a nap i love you
send my love to the family! i was talking about lucky and nakita the other day and i miss my pups too!
ill be here for another 6 weeks and ill be better about letting you know in advance haha it snuck up on me too.
ok ciao ciao.
