Changes

Question’s from Mom:

How is your toe and what happened to it?
What? My toe is fine?

Did you get transferred or stay in Lecce?
I am staying in Lecce but Elder Lewis is leaving. I am a little sad. He was a lot of fun. Super goofy. We got along really, really well. Also. They are moving out a set of missionaries here in Lecce. It used to be 4 but now there will only be 2. I feel bad that this city is getting downgraded... We did our best to teach as many people as we could. But... We will only have 2 here now. I am the last man standing here in Lecce. Also. I will most likely become the 1st counselor in the Presidency here but will still remain Young Men’s President (yes!). 

This week was actually a really good week and we were able to meet with a lot of members. We have been doing lessons about using tech for missionary work (Mormon Messages, Genealogy, Lds.org and what not). Also. I fasted for this young lady here that she could find someone to teach the gospel to and she met this guy on Facebook and they started talking. He has been going to Church in Taranto for about a month now and is about to be baptized. Pretty cool eh. 


The pictures below are of this sweet family that was baptized two years ago. They are members. The dad is a Navy Seal guy and a hardcore military man. We work with his boy a lot. This week we did a lesson with him and he started to cry for a few minutes. He then looked at us and said, "Thanks for everything that you have done. Especially for my boy." It was super cool. Big strong military man crying. Nothing quite like it. Gospel. It’s cool.
