Happiness Comes Through Living the Gospel

This week went by so fast that I can't even believe I'm writing this

letter to you all right now. It's crazy. Anyways, this week was a

pretty good week so let me tell you about it.

So this week Tuesday we had our weekly district meeting among the

missionaries. But the cool part was, was that my boy Anziano Kelly and

his comp Anziano Zappettini, came down from Rome to our district

meeting! So that was swag, we hung out, took some pictures, and of

course ate some food. Classic missionary stuff.

Also this week we hung out with some friends from English course! We

went to this dude’s house and he showed us around. We jumped on his

tramp and then at the end of that we were able to teach him the

Restoration of the Church. That was neat. After words he took us to

the mall and we got McDonalds. McDonalds here is not as good and a lot

more expensive when compared to America but sometimes ya just gotta

get a burger.

This week we were supposed to have a Karaoke Night activity at the

church but we had to postpone it for different reasons, BUT we are

practicing to sing a song at the activity so that's dope. Eldridge

plays the guitar and our friend/neighbor/English course student does

to. So we met up a couple times this week and started practicing to

sing a little something something. It was way cool though because we

were able to have a really good heart to heart with our friend,

Martina. She's been meeting with the missionaries for a while but

doesn't go foreword with the he lessons or it's hard to do so because

her family doesn't really want her to. But in the end we told her

that we aren't doing this because we want to grow the church to become

more powerful or to get more money or anything like that. In the end

we are here as missionaries to help you become closer to Jesus Christ

and in the end THAT is what will bring you true and everlasting

happiness.

Honestly I'm out here as a missionary to do that. I'm here because I

know from personal experience that happiness comes through living the

gospel principles that we teach. It's simple. Our friend from English

course, his name is Francesco and he has been a long time friend of

one of our members. Well this Sunday Francesco came to church. After

church that member told us that he hasn't seen Francesco that good or

happy in a long time. In the end true transcendent happiness comes

through the living of gospel doctrines and principles. Lasting

happiness isn't found in the world, it's found here.

This week has been a good week. Me and my comp get along great. I mean

we're basically brothers and we laugh way too much every day. We got a

lot of good things going for us right now in Catanzaro and we are

excited for what the future holds. Have a good week everyone! Love ya!

Ciao ciao
