Dear Family and Friends,
So here we are. It's week two of the transfer and I feel like we have done so much yet there is so much yet to do. Exhausted and yet really excited for what's to come. Searching to improve, yet also very content with how the week. To put it simply, it was awesome!
We first had our zone conference which while being a little crazy and put together fast, it turned out really well. I love having the opportunity to try and make a difference in the lives of these great missionaries we have serving on the Rock of Sardegna! With the help of my companion, Anziano Wiggins and Sorella Demann, we delivered a great addestramento and we are shooting very very high this transfer, in terms of goals and working our absolute hardest. Better time now than never to rededicate yourself completely to the work. The tiramisù I made turned out really really well, miracles were seen the night before in finding as a zone, more trainings were done and pretty soon it was over. I'm so ready to work my hardest now.
And we certainly did. We had lessons with our investigator Victor as well as with John who brought his wife to the lesson with the bishop, both of whom are from Nigeria actually. They surprise me so much during the lessons with how much they understand on a spiritual level the gospel of Jesus Christ. I catch myself going into lessons thinking something will be difficult or that they won't understand a certain concept. Like take for example, when I ask them what it means to have faith in Jesus Christ? Everytime the answer blows me away, on a level usually that I never thought of. Victor and John have been through a lot in life and understand truly what is important in life.
But I have to say miracles just keep falling out of the sky for us. We are sitting in correlation and our ward mission leader mentions someone who we should see. So we proceed to message him on Facebook and he immediately responds with questions about the Book of Mormon and our testimonies. There's that and Anziano Wiggins randomly just talked to a man running a Cagliari jersey store that turned out to be both interested in English Group and also learning about what we believe. Crazy!
Anziano Wiggins is a really good missionary, just an inspiration in daily diligence and receiving revelation that is just incredible. Also he really loves NASCAR. Plus the other two anziani, Anziano Anderton e Hunsaker are really amazing and we have our own Christmas tree and we are going all out for Christmas! Cagliari is just a great place to be. On Saturday nights, we do a blitz which more or less is where we go out with a whiteboard that says we teach english for free and talk to everyone that is interested and give away a lot of pass along cards. The centro is packed with people and it is fun to just talk to italians as they try to speak broken english or make fun of our american accents.
Honestly, I have the mission at it's best right now. Sure there have been and still there are a lot of daily struggles and I realize that I am old diciamo in the mission, but really I realize that I have been blessed. Blessed to serve in really cool places, meet amazing people, have great companions, and just be a missionary. My message really is to just enjoy Christmas. To remember why we do this all. The fact is that we truly do have a Savior, I can testify that he lives and that means He heals us and performs miracles and comforts us and teahces us today, just like he did back in Judea. I've spent some personal study time looking specifically at the words used for Christ's Atonement, being ransom paid, blood spilt, and how he now can forgive us all. It really is an honor to be at his side and proclaiming His name for He has saved my life and I owe Him every tribute of gratitude I can muster. (Luke 7:41-47)
Vi voglio bene!
Anziano Price
