First week in Taranto

After a week here in Taranto I am loving it! It is a lot like my first city, Brindisi, but on a bigger scale. We have our own church building, which isn't very common here in the south, so that is pretty nice. This week we had zone conference. Just when you think the mission couldn't change any more; it does! This zone conference they gave every companionship smart phones. Now this could seem pointless to some seeing how we have tablets. But over here in Italy the Italians (and practically all of Europe) use an app called "whatsapp" which allows people to text and call. The normal texting and calling here is a little expensive so that's why everyone uses the app. It will make getting numbers and staying in contact with investigators so much easier. 

Our topic in zone conference was by far one of my favorites. We talked about faith. Faith is the foundation of it all, it is so important. That's why it is the first principle of the gospel of Jesus Christ! We literally use it for every thing... the priesthood, miracles, and yes, the Atonement of Christ. Faith is pretty important!I was nice to be reminded of that and to focus more on strengthening my personal faith.

Well this week is a little bit more simple, but good non-the-less. I hope all of you guys have a good week.
