June 27,2012 - A birthday wish from Ben makes Mom's day!!!

Cara Famiglia e gli amici-
This week has been great! We had church with our new ward since the split and I counted and there was about 65 people in the congragation! I like it alot smaller because I can get to know the members better! But church was great although Rogelio didn't come again but next week we should see him in church. We are still probably going to move his baptism date back another month so he can be totally prepared! We had a conference in Verona this week which was great! We had alot of great instruction on how to be better missionaries. This week we've been doing alot of work with the GANS (Giovanni Adulti Non Sposati) young single adult and also with members. It's funny because everyone here has been getting into the Euro cup they love soccer here. Today we cleaned the appartment! It was nasty. Like we had ants and all sorts of bugs filthy. But it was like that when I got here so don't worry it's not me! Yesterday we had a great lesson with the Pelle family. They have a daughter who is in critical heart condition and they are from Savonna another city in Northwestern Italy. We've been seeing them about once or twice a week to see how they are doing and there for support. We shared a scripure I like in Jacob 7:1-5 which talks about a man (Sherem) who tried to convince Jacob that there was no God. But in verse 5 it talks about how Jacob had a strong testimony and his faith could not be shaken because he had seen many miralces and revelations. We explained how important it is to grow our testimonies now because when those Sherems come (trials) we can be ready for whatever happens. Things here have been great and I am enjoying my time as a missionary! I would like to wish a Mrs. Kimberly Thomas a Happy birthday and let her know that she is the BEST mom in the world and I'm am so lucky that she is my mom! Once again thanks for everything and Vi voglio Bene!!
Anziano Thomas
