President Nelson

We had the marvelous opportunity to hear from a lot of the church leaders this past week including the President of the Quorum of the 12 Apostles, Russel M Nelson and it was incredible ha. To start off we heard from President Kieron from the Europe Area Presidency and Donald A Hallstrum from the 70 along with their wives. All of the wives did really well and it was a nice build up for President Nelson who later spoke extensively on the abrahamic covenant. No joke haha the abrahamic covenant.

It was really interesting and we learned a lot! He started by showing his scriptures that he had recently bought and been able to read all the way through in 2 weeks. He would then ask us questions and precede to teach us afterward. It was really intimidating standing up to answer the questions but a very exciting experience. We got to shake his hand and then he was off to visit the temple that's being constructed in Rome.

We had a fun pday this past week when we went to a midevil castle in the mountains. It was surprisingly intact and a really fun trip. We had a really good lesson with chino again, we hadn't been able to see him for awhile but now it looks like he's back on track. We also had the opportunity to teach this man named Franco after church with his member girlfriend Bruna. Franco has had the lessons before and bruna seems tired of his unwillingness to join the church so we're going to see if we can't help our boy out.

Vi voglio bene
