Things are doing great here in Muggiò! Some interesting
things happened this week and another fantastic general conference! But we'll start
with Thursday.
That morning we decided to go and talk to people about the
gospel in Monza Park. So we drove there, parked, and headed out. This place is enormous!
When we go we have to plan which side of the park we want to go through,
because it would take an entire day to cover all of it. Major points of
interest are Villa Reale (the once was summer home of the king of Italy, now a
museum), a marathon loop, the gardens, a couple of small, man-made lakes, a
hippodrome, and an entire Formula 1 Racetrack! It's an awesome place. So after
we had been walking for about an hour or two that morning, we headed back for
lunch and noticed that one of the little front windows on our car was broken. Upon
further inspection, opening the car, we saw that everything had been rummaged
through... but nothing had been taken... So, we were left with a broken window
to fix. Which we promptly got done, by some miracle, within 24 hours! Now the
car is back to working order and we no longer have to hang pictures of Jesus
among the shards of shattered glass in order to ward off further burglary
attempts! (Pictures below)
Then we had General Conference! It was absolutely amazing! I
noticed that a lot of the talks focused on the guidance of the Spirit and how vital
it is in our daily lives. I have decided to work more on inviting the spirit
into my life in order to be a more inspired teacher and disciple. I'll let you
know how it goes! I'm so excited to get to study these talks for the next few
months. We have an 8 hour difference between here and Salt Lake and the ward
likes to watch live as many of the sessions as possible, so unfortunately we
still have been able to watch the last session on Sunday. But as soon as they
put it up on the gospel library app I will be all over that!
I hope you all have an amazing week! Enjoy our broken window
and a picture of Paul and I!
