Family and Friends,

Well it has been a little bit of a crazy week, luckily not anything like last week but it has been good. We had transfers on Thursday and we had the chance to move the sisters apartment all day Tuesday and Wednesday. They finally got out of their old apartment that didn't have any water along with a giant list of other bad things and are into a newer one. They seemed pretty happy to be their so that's good. So we did lot's of trips in the car loading and unloading different things trying to get everything ready for that. Then Wednesday night we had a bunch of people staying at our house because Catania is kind of the central of our Zone and lot's of trains left early in the morning so most missionaries came the night before so they didn't have to wake up at 4 or  5 in the morning. 

It was a giant miracle that everyone was on time to their trains and everyone got to where they needed to be with all of their luggage and without any curve balls that we didn't see coming. Transfers here take a lot of organization so it was a fun experience getting to do it by my self for the first time because my comp had already gone home!! 

Other than that we were able to kind of get back on our feet the rest of the days and teach some lessons and we're now ready for the new transfer. This transfer should be fun as most of the missionaries in our Zone havn't even hit their 7 month mark yet. The Zone is young but full of energy so hopefully we'll see some success in that catagory! Anziano P*** is my new comp, he is around his year mark in the mission and seems to be a great guy so I'm excited to start working with him. We picked up a lot of work for this next transfer because there used to be 4 Anziani here in Catania and now there are only us two so we'll be taking over the work of the other guys along with our work so it should be nice and busy, just like I like it:)

Other than that nothing new to report. We are doing well and I hope you are all doing well. I just would like to share a quote that Kindra sent to me and I really liked it from our beloved Elder Perry who I'm sure you all know passed away this week.  "We can't predict all the struggles and storms in life, not even the ones just around the next corner, but as persons of faith and hope, we know beyond a shadow of any doubt that the gospel of Jesus Christ is true and the best is yet to come." THIS IS SOOOO TRUE and I would add my testimony to that saying the same thing. Sometimes we just need to hang on to what we know to be true and that is the case here. We must always strive to be courageous with that which we know and step by step that knowledge will grow and grow. Sounds a lot like Faith huh?? Love you all and I hope you have a great week!!
