Week of Service...

Servizio.....That's what we did.


I don't think I have ever done more service on the mission than this past week. It's amazing how awesome the week has been, service makes a huge difference in our lives! We were able to go out to the country and move some lumber from the side of a mountain. It had a gorgeous view. It made me realize how much I love the mountains. Although it's very mountainous, it's still very warm. Like 'sweater weather' type of warm, which makes for a weird Christmas, but still a good one! I mean I can't complain.....I spent my Christmas in Sicily!
 Sunday we were able to go out and have a pranzo with Salvo who is a member in our ward. Haha he is hilarious. He knows some English words so every once in a while he'll throw them into his Italian, it's awesome. We have some investigators that are doing good. We found a really cool guy, we showed him the Christmas initiative video and he really liked it. Today we headed to some catacombs. These catacombs had the remains outside of there coffins. There were a ton of skeletons, it was pretty cool. Sorry no pics, they were not allowed...



Seeing how we did so much service this week I think it would be appropriate to talk about service. A cool scripture I really like in Matthew 10:39 says 
"He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it." 
That's why Christmas time is so happy. We often are serving others, they decide to forget about themselves and see what else they can do for others. So my invite, for the week leading up to Christmas, is to lose yourselves in the service of others! Love you guys! Have a good week!

Old Faces...

Old Faces.....


The week of zone conference. It's always a good one, you get a free lunch, see friends and grow spiritually. I was able to actually see some old comps, like Anziani Jackson and Fryer. Both of whom I really enjoyed and wished I could have done more than just one transfer. Thursday rolled around and I realized I hadn't eaten a pizza in a week and started hyper ventilating. It's kind of sad, none of the pizza I will ever eat again will be the same as Napoli pizza. However, Sicily is known for their deserts, like Conolo! Man that is some good stuff. The work is going along great, hopefully we'll find some success this transfer. We met a really cool guy last Sunday showing the Christmas video the church has put out and he ended up coming to church and is doing really good. Here in Palermo we have a pretty cool ward. Yep, a ward! First one I've been in, and the members are really down for missionary work, so I'm excited about that. For P-day we went on a super fun hike and ended up seeing some sheep. So that's that. 




During zone conference this week we talked a lot about the fall and 
Adam and Eve. A lot of people who are not of our faith think it was a bad thing, something that has cursed all mankind, but in reality it was all apart of God's plan. 

In 2 Nephi 2:22-24 it says:
      "22 And now, behold, if Adam had not transgressed he would not have fallen, but he would have remained in the garden of Eden. And all things which were created must have remained in the same state in which they were after they were created; and they must have remained forever, and had no end.
23 And they would have had no children; wherefore they would have remained in a state of innocence, having no joy, for they knew no misery; doing no good, for they knew no sin.
24 But behold, all things have been done in the wisdom of him who knoweth all things."

It is because of the fall that all of us are here. It's because of the fall that we feel happiness in this life. Pretty cool huh? Anyways hope everyone has a good week! Much love! 🤙 ‎

Sicily, the land of cannoli, brioscia, arancina and hopefully a couple baptisms.











Yep, I have now made my way to the island of Sicily! I didn't really think that it could get better than Napoli, but some how I lucked out. I'm in the city of Palermo. Saying goodbye to the members, investigators, pizza and the city of Napoli was hard, I'll never get used to leaving a city or the people I meet, but I am stoked to see what Sicily has in hand this transfer. I have a great companion who likes to work hard and I can already tell I'm going to love it here. 

So, side note, Italy doesn't sell eggnog.... Weird right? Well, I really like eggnog, so I decided I was going to try and make some. So with optimism in the air, a heck of a lot of eggs and the song 'Joy To The World' playing in the background, we put on our aprons and started. The further in the process we got, the more worried I became, it wasn't easy! What should have been a complete disaster turned into some pretty good eggnog! I don't really know how, but it actually tasted like the stuff you buy from the stores. 

In my studying this week, I came across a scripture talking about the love of Christ, which is something we are trying to share this Christmas season. In Romans 8:38, 39 it says 
"38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
It's pretty comforting to think that nothing can separate us from that love that Christ has for us. No matter how many times we mess up, He is still there and still loves us! I hope all of you can feel that love this Christmas season and share that with others. Thanks for all that you, much love coming over here from Italy!

Hello World!




 Well what can I say? It's been another good week here, with another transfer coming to an end. That's right, we have transfer calls coming tonight, which is probably one of the most anticipated nights for all missionaries. I have been here for almost 6 months so there is a good chance I am out of here, but we'll see what happens. I hope everyone had an awesome thanksgiving! I know we did here! We had turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and even the cranberry sauce that somehow always makes it to the table but is never eaten.  I guess the only thing that was really missing was the football. Oh well, there is always next year. Then for our last 
P-day we went to the American base! Had to get those last American supplies for the transfer! 

This week I want to focus on the Church's #lighttheworld! That's right, the church has put out 25 different ways we can be that light that Jesus was when he was here for 25 days. It's easy, you don't even have to make any of them up, they are literally given to us! So let's go out and be that light for others! It starts this Friday, so make sure all of you have your calendars (found on lds.org or mormon.org) and start off strong! I believe in you guys! Much love coming over from Italy!

A Year.... Huh?




Hello everyone! Well, Ladies and Gentlemen, not only have we had another great week here in Napoli, but rather, an amazing year here in the mission. Yep, as strange as it sounds, I have now been out more than a year, I have reached the top of the mountain, gotten of the ski lift, and I am now skiing my way down the mountain. This is when is gets really fun, but, unfortunately doesn't last as long as the first part. Let's not get too focused on that, after all, I do get a whole other year in this country I have grown to love, and that is a very good thing.  

This week was a fun one! Just a lot of good solid work, and even a wild goose chase! Yep, we received a referral to go find and help someone with some genealogy. Well, little did we know how far it really was. We ended up walking for close to 5 hours, all for them to tell us that right now probably wasn't going to work, but maybe another time. Well with heads hanging low we started our long trek back. Haha, all part of the experience, right? We actually were able to really help out a couple who were having some marriage struggles, though, and that was a great experience. I cannot lie, I was never the one to really be in a serious relationship in high school, let alone know what it's like to be married. Luckily, my parents are perfect examples, so with the help of the Holy Ghost and their example, we worked out some issues. It actually turned out surprisingly good! Haha. 

With the Thanksgiving coming up, I thought I might use this time to thank all who have helped me along this path. I could not have done it with out you guys. I would also like to thank my family who do so much for me. I would not be the person I am today with out them, and words can't even express how grateful I am for them. I am grateful for Christ and His Atonement. I am grateful that we have living prophets and apostles today, but most of all I am grateful that we have a loving Heavenly Father. I encourage everyone to take a moment and think about what you are grateful for. Love you all!

Food From Africa.....


Another good week down and it's been a great one! We took a break with pizza this week and tried some African food. Tuesday we had the opportunity to go to and African restaurant with one of them members who has just moved here.  Wow, it was something else! I'll tell you what, Africans just have different food. Let me explain, for most African dishes they will eat a soup with either rice or something called pounded yam, otherwise known as Fufu. Fufu is a classic African dish, so of course, I ordered Fufu with a soup called Okra. Now, how you eat this food is very strange. Remember when you were little and you just ate everything with your hands? Well, we're going back ladies and gentleman, with a big fat ball of Fufu on the plate and bowl of Okra soup on the side, I ate my whole meal with my hands. That's not even the crazy part, when you put the Fufu in your mouth you swallow it whole, yep that's right, no chewing. Haha, it actually wasn't too bad! For P-day we found are way back down to Positano! Yep, and this time it was even better! We were able to hike along the Amalfi Coast it was way cool! 


This week I came across an amazing talk given by Gordon B. Hinckley when he was the first counselor in the First Presidency. The talk was called "Don't Drop the Ball", and he talks a lot about the character of someone. He said something that really stuck out “You can’t tell the character of an individual by the way he does his daily work. Watch him when his work is done. See where he goes. Note the companions he seeks, and the things he does when he may do as he pleases. Then you can tell his true character." Anyone can work hard at work or when asked too, but what he does when he is on his "off" or leisure time can show his true character. How do we act when we are with our friends or after a long hard day and we are tired? If we live with a "loyalty to God" "at ALL times" then we can become true disciples and be the light that shines forth in every situation. Love you guys! Hope you guys have another good week!

Sorrento, the City of Lemons......



Well, this week was a little bit slower than normal. We did a lot of finding, which isn't really new. Facebook has been a huge tool in the missionary work here, maybe not necessarily the actual app, but the messenger app that we use. We're able to stay in contact with a lot of people that way. It's so neat to see how the Lord uses so many different tools to hasten His work. It's amazing to be a part of it! 



Today for P-day we went to the beautiful Sorrento. I'll give you guys the quick little history lesson on Sorrento. Sorrento is known for 2 things, lemons and music boxes. Wow, the music boxes are just beautifully crafted and the lemon candies and ice cream are to die for. After roaming around Sorrento all morning we happened to run across a place where they sell lemon granita and then you can walk the lemon orchards. It was pretty cool to say the least. Definitely a beautiful city. 


Today I would quickly like to talk about the sacrament. The sacrament is one of the most important things we do every week. It is through the sacrament that we renew those covenants we have made with God, promising to take upon the name Jesus Christ, always remembering Him, and obeying the commandments. It is the most dramatic way we show that we want to be a disciple of Christ and that we are, in fact, willing to do what He asks. When we do, we gain a better understanding of the Atonement and the sacrifice He made. I hope that everyone realizes how important the sacrament is, and that we allude our best to partake of it each and every week. Love you all, and hope you guys have a great week.

Pizza again? Hmmm, doesn't sound too bad! 


Haha that's right, President allowed me to stay a little bit longer here in the promise land of Napoli Va bene. This week we were able to go to Rome and see Elder Ballard. It was an amazing and spiritual experience,  he talked a lot about missionary work and how we can go out and find people who are ready to teach. He is definitely an intelligent man and a man of God. I feel so blessed to have had this opportunity to hear an apostle of the Lord. We also saw some Americans this week and had some rain. Besides that, it was a pretty normal week. For P-day we made are way to the 'Veiled Christ'.  

Well today I would like to share a quick scripture with you all! In the Book of 2 Nephi chapter 27:23 it says "For behold, I am God; and I am a God of miracles; and I will show unto the world that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and I work not among the children of men save it be according to their faith." It's pretty cool to think that God still works in miracles, just like He did in times of old! We just have to have the faith! 

I Love you guys! Have a good week.

Wow! What. A. Week. 


Where should I start this time? It felt like we were moving 100 mph. This week we were able to go to the hospital and meet up with one of our investigators. His wife just had a baby and they are so excited. We weren't able to see the baby but we were able to meet his wife and she is a very nice lady. Then we had a meal appointment with one of our good friends, Mario. He has known the missionaries for ever, and he is just a riot. He fed us his Napolitano lasagna, which was sooo good. Saturday was a day to remember....  We started getting ready for the baptism, setting up this tiny font in the primary room, haha, mamma mia it isn't the easiest thing to build, but we got the job done. Then we proceeded with the baptism, which was amazing. The spirit was so strong, the changes our investigator has made has been amazing. He really is such a good guy. Then right after the baptism we had our branch party! It was a blast. We had a ton of games and of course a ton of food. We ended up getting an investigator who came and loved it! The potential investigator even came to church the next day. Tons of miracles came from this branch activity and it was so cool to see the branch really bond! 


This week I was able to study a little bit about hope. Hope is an interesting word. In a worldly sense we use the word "hope" for something we want to happen, but we know most likely will not. Using the word hope in more scriptural sense or I guess you could say "spiritual sense", it takes on a much stronger meaning. Hope means "we have an abiding trust that the Lord will fulfill His promises to you" (Preach My Gospel).  We are confident that everything will happen for the best. If we have hope we can approach trials and problems in our lives knowing that everything will be okay. I encourage everyone to have hope in Christ and His Atonement! 

I Love you guys!

Fall is just around the corner here in Italy and I would dare to say that it's my second favorite season (only because skiing usually happens in the winter). This week I did a scambio with Anziano Ruiz and that was a blast. Anziano Pesci also came back to pick up his permesso (what allows you to stay in Italy) so he hung out with us for a couple of days. It's always fun to have other missionaries around!

We met a great guy earlier this week who has a pretty big interest in the gospel. You can definitely tell he is prepared to listen to our message. 

 One of our investigators will be baptized this Saturday.  We will have the wonderful opportunity to watch someone who has made the necessary changes in his life to be baptized and recieve the Holy Ghost. It's been really amazing to watch his conversion process and how much he has prepared and given up for the gospel. Making those changes in life isn't always the easiest thing to do and it that takes a lot of faith. Through faith we see people change and miracles happen. Through faith the blind were able to see again, through faith the armies of Heleman overcame battles where there where more men, older men, and probably stronger as well. But they put their faith and trust in God and miracles followed. "With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible"!(Mark 10:27) Through our faith in Christ we can overcome any obstacle life throws at us, overcome any trial that just seems too much, and accomplish things we never thought were possible. 

Well love you guys! Hope everyone has a good week!

Conference on conference.....

 Hello everyone! It has been a fantastic week here in Napoli. We are all getting pretty excited for general conference, it is like the super bowl for missionaries. We also have zone conference this week as well, so we have a solid line up. This week we did a solid amount of finding, which means we did two things: we walked a lot and we met a lot of people. Everyone we met had different views on God and how they see the world. I have really learned a lot from the people  of Napoli. Though our belief in God may be a little different and our backgrounds and interests completely different, when you take the time to talk to someone new, you can see the world through their eyes. On Sunday a lady in our ward gave her farewell talk and it kind of reminded me of when I did my farewell talk. It seems like just yesterday. In a way I am kind of jealous that she is just barley starting her journey, at times it seems like mine has just flown by. Then today for pday we were able to do zone soccer!! Ya know, Pompeii, Vesuvius, the Amalfi coast and all of the breath taking sites I've been able to see have been amazing, but some times you just need a good old zone calcio for pday. Always a favorite of mine!


      This week in my personal study, I came across a popular verse in Heleman that I think we all know. In chapter 5 verse 12 it says: 

And now, my sons, remember, remember that is on the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind , yea , when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.

Like a building, our faith needs to built on a solid foundation so that when the mighty storms and trials come into our lives we, too, might become steadfast and immovable. The foundation of our faith is Christ. If our foundation is built upon Christ, then surely we "cannot fall"! 

Well guys I hope you all have a fantastic week!

Love you all,

He is hastening His work......


This week was a packed week. We started it off with a correlation at Sam's house (our branch mission leader) which is always a good time. Then we were able to have some really cool lessons. One of our investigators is so ready for baptism we just have to work some things out, but we had an amazing lesson with him and afterward he said one of the most sincere prayers I've heard. It's been a blessing to be able to work with him. 

This week I have a verse from the Book of Mormon. In the book of Moroni, Mormon starts telling his son about the wickedness of both the Nephites and the Lamanites. Instead of giving up he gives his sons some words of encouragement saying "And now, my beloved son, notwithstanding their hardness, let us labor diligently; for if we should cease to labor, we should be brought under condemnation; for we have a labor to perform whilst in this tabernacle of clay, that we may conquer the enemy of all righteousness, and rest our souls in the kingdom of God." (Moroni 9:6). Despite the fact that everything around them was terrible and just in turmoil, he suggested that they continue to labor diligently. That's what we must do too! This time we have here is 'but a blink of an eye', let us perform our "labors" while we are still here. Love every single one of you, hope you guys have a great week!

I don't have a lot of time todayNot too long ago we got news that Facebook was going to be avaible for our mission as a proslyting tool. I have to admit it will be weird to have Facebook after not using it for so long, but it just shows how much the Lord is hastening His work.  We will be permitted to use Facebook to forward the work in a couple weeks. 
Communications will still be done through email, but you can see and share the stuff I post. Anyways love you guys. Ci sentiamo fra poco!

August has finally come to an end.....

Haha, I think our numbers in church doubled, and there were so many people in the street. That were actually from Napoli. For those who don't know, in the month of August all Italians, and when I say "all" I mean it, go out of town. The weather is starting to cool off as well, so things are going great. Some how another transfer has come and gone. It seems that time keeps getting faster and faster.

The work is coming along fantastically. It's probably one of the most amazing experiences when you see something start to click in an investigator's head. When they start recognizing the Holy Ghost and the peace and joy it brings to their lives. 

Speaking of the Holy Ghost I would like to share a quick little scripture, in 2 Nephi 6 he says "And I was led by the Spirit, not knowing beforehand the things which I should do". Sometimes in life we don't have the slightest clue what we are doing, but if we listen we will be guided by the spirit, in all things that we do. Try and listen to him! Hope everyone has a great week! Love ya!

What an amazing week here in Napoli! 


We started off the week with a scambio (exchange). This time, I went with Anziano Ruiz, and it was a blast! He has a great work ethic, and just loves talking to people, which taught me a lot. While finding also we ran across Castle St. Elmo! Which is a huge castle, that has an amazing view! We were able to teach the restauration to a lady who is from northern Italy. She pointed out to us that she felt the spirit which was way cool and does not happen very often. 

On Sunday after church we had around 5 hours to do some finding, which happens pretty frequently. We went to couple different places, all of which we were lucky enough to meet people who had some interest in the gospel. We decided to walk down this really busy road and, within seconds, we were stopped by people that wanted to talk about the gospel. It  was a couple of people from another church wanting to convert us, rather then allow us to share with them the fulness of the gospel. It was okay though, we kept it positive. After all, we are all trying to make the world a better place. I was disappointed that they didn't want to learn more of our message.  Out of nowhere, a lady randomly walks up behind us and asks if we are the missionaries. Of course, we respond with huge smiles, assuming she's a member from northern Italy on vacation.  It was the exact opposite, she knew the missionaries from the past and had learned about the power of priesthood blessings. She then asked if we would be able to give her mother who is in a hospital a blessing. We, of course, we said yes!  We, then were able to offer a priesthood blessing. 

This experience kind of leads into what I would like to share this week with you all. One of the most important things we tell investigators is that the priesthood, the power to act in Gods name, was restored! It is what separates us from all other religions. There is good in every religion and good people striving to make the world a better place, but because of the full restoration of the gospel, we also have the power given from God. What a blessing it is to be able to have this priesthood on the earth, never to be taken again. We can feel that power every day in our lives as well, and I am so grateful for this wonderful oppurtunity I have to share the message and blessing that come from my membership in Gods church.I hope we can all see how blessed we are to see this!













For p day we went to Amalfi which is just another city on the coast of Amalfi. Oh my goodness it was just absolutely gorgeous. That drive along the coast is just absolutely breath taking. Anyways love you guys, hope you guys have a good week!

Miracles are cool and so is the weather!

The mission has it's ups and downs, and apparantly the weather does too. At the begining of this week it was hot, and I mean HOT. Were talking 100 degrees with a lot of humidity, haha. Then on Thursday it just dropped. It felt so amazing to not be constantly sweating, haha.  I'm definitely looking forward to fall!   We've had an incredible week, that was just filled with lessons. We have one of our investigators who has an interview for her baptism this Wednesday! If it goes good she will be baptized on Saturday. We have definetly seen a lot of miracles this week, and without the hand of the Lord none of it would have been possible. 

This week I would like to talk about families! We've focused on families latley and it's made me have a better appreciation for mine. Especially the fact that I can be with them for eternity! In the Proclamation to the Family it says "The divine plan of happiness enables family relationships to be perpetuated beyond the grave. Sacred ordinances and covenants available in holy temples make it possible for individuals to return to the presence of God and for families to be united eternally." It's so amazing that our Father in heaven has made this possible for us, and I am so grateful for that! I hope everyone has a good week this week! Love you all!

Heat, Pizza and miracles....




Besides just eating a ton of pizza and the heat (it feels like we're walking on the sun, but swimming at the same time, haha.), we've had some really cool stuff happen!! The work has just absolutly exploded! We've seen so many blessings this week. We were able to meet with a lot of people, and the lessons all went really well, especially considering that it's August and everyone goes on vacation in August.  We are really excited to see what happens this transfer. Anziano Lamoureux is such a good guy. It is incredible how much charity he has. He is a great example of how a missionary should love the people and the people he is serving with. 

In Matthew 7:7-8 it says "7 ¶ Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened." We will always receive an answer but first we must diligently seek it out first. Many times we are guided to the scripture or a quote or a feeling we get after diligently searching!  We may get our answers right away and it may take time, but I know He always answers....


Thanks for all the support! Love all of you guys. Have a good week!

Well, we got our transfer calls!! 


Sadly, Anziano Fryer found his way out of Napoli. We had a fun transfer together and worked hard!! Towards the begining of the week we had some lessons and just did the normal missionary stuff then Wednesday I watched him pack. Thursday, we spent the day at the train station, sending missionaries off, sending them in the right direction, and welcoming our new ones. Thursday afternoon I met my new companion! His name is Anziano Lamouruex. He is from Utah as well. He is a good missionary and wants to work hard, which is always good to see!! I have a feeling we are going to do great things together! 


For pday we headed to the American base, which is always a favorite for an American missionary to get a little taste of home. I promise I will have some cool pictures here pretty soon!!

Today I want to share a scripture that has really motivated me through my mission. It is powerful but at the same time short. Paul in motivation to the saints in Rome states "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth". This gospel isn't something we should be embarrassed to share with others! It is our salvation, and sometimes they just don't know where to look! I encourage everyone to share the gospel with some one who is not fortunute enough to have it their life! Thanks for all the support, I couldn't do it with out you guys!

Transfers Gia! We are already receiving our transfer calls. This transfer just flew by for me! This week we did a ton of finding, which is always good. We received a referral from Brindisi, so that was cool haha! I brought a little Brindisi with me haha! Last Monday night we had a family home eveing, and that was a blast. We are going to do another one tonight and that will be exciting! Then on Wednesday we went to our branch mission leaders house and had some good classic American food! He is a good guy! He has an amazing view from his home. The work here has started to pick up a little, even though it's the summer so that's good. Then for pday we played zone calcio (soccer)! Which is always a favorite for me! It was really hot though haha, but always worth it!



This week I have had the opportunity to teach some one who does not understand or even know, the life and mission of Jesus Christ and what He did for us. Because of this, I was able to study more about his earthly ministry. Towards the end of His ministry He did what no other man could, and that was suffer for all of the sins of mankind. James Talmage in regards to the Atonement said “In some manner, actual and terribly real though to man incomprehensible, the Savior took upon Himself the burden of the sins of mankind from Adam to the end of the world” Thanks to Jesus Christ and the atonement, every one can receive a remission of there sins, no one is exempt. I am so grateful for this, that even when I feel I am at my lowest or I have gone to where I think there is no possible return, there is. To be able to share this wonderful gift with people who don't know about it, is incredible, and I am so thankful for that. I hope everyone can take a minute and recognize the atonement in your lives and then share that with someone else! I love you all, and thankyou for all the support you have given me. Hope you guys have a great week!
