Good Morning Everyone.
It's been a solid week out here in the Mission Field. I feel like I'm
finally starting to get adjusted to Cosenza and how things work in
this city. I said Goodbye to Anziano Garrett last week and said hello
to Anziano Stanley. Anziano Stanley is a champion of all champions and
I am so PUMPED to be with him this transfer. I feel like we are
already on the same page and things just seem to click. I am pumped.
He is from Kamas, Utah and I best friends with a kid that I played
baseball with when I was really young. I'm super excited for this
transfer with Anziano Stanley and I hope that we will see some good
things. He is one transfer older than me and will finish his mission
in October.
As for our week, we had a good one. It was a little bit slower, but we
are starting to see the members come out a little bit more and they
are a little more willing to help us out. It wasn't like that a few
weeks ago. Here we have some serious unity problems and Cosenza has
been like that ever since I arrived in the mission. Anziano Stanley
and I have decided that we are going to try our best to pull this
little branch together, because it needs just that. We had 10
missionaries in Cosenza this weekend for a MultiStake Broadcast for
the Europe Area. It was pretty powerful and they spoke a lot on
becoming good at the small and simple things, because in the
end...those small and simple things make the difference.
On Friday, I turned the big 20. To be honest it didn't really feel to
much like a birthday, just felt like another day and I'm grateful for
that. The Portera Family sent me another little gift up and I opened
that on my birthday. I love that family... They've become my Italian
family.
Honestly..I don't have a lot to write home and I apologize. Like I
said before, we are seeing good things happen all around us. Little by
little, things are starting to change. I love serving the Lord. He is
a friend of mine. I love all of you. I thank you for all of the
birthday wishes, the prayers and the love. I thank you for the
support. I hope that you all have a great week and please take care.
Schools out and I wish you all a good summer.
PS>...I would like to wish my Mamma Kelli a HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
I love you all. Here are some pics and a video that I found from over
a year ago.

We played Soccer this morning. I love these boys!! 

Our District last transfer.

We met some really cool people on the street last night, they wanted a selfie with us.
Anziano Stanley is the one who took the picture.

Anziano Stanley andSorella Spadafora sang to me on Friday!
