Mountains to Climb!

Ciao tutti!

Well this last week sorry for not being able to write we decided to hike up a mountain and it ended up taking all of the time for pday haha. fortunately i took a lot of good pictures and videos so send some of them to you today :) It was such a great hike, it was so relaxing to get out of the city and into the outdoors i really missed the relaxing smell and sound of the birds and animals it was perfect. 

Well these past two weeks have been really great here in torino. Anziano Ferradini and i get along so great and we are really working hard to teach lessons to our new converts, less active members and member families and so far we are doing a really good job of it. the work in Italy is actually much easier and less demanding than that of switzerland which is actually pretty nice. Torino is a fairly large city though so it was a little hard for me to get used to at first but now im getting the hang of it pretty well :) We have a few investigators that are making pretty good progress and have came to church last week so that was very nice! We also have a new convert, Whitney (13 yrs old) who is actually really starting to scare me. She was baptized right before i got here and really loved the elder that i replaced so when he left she got super depressed and didnt/still doesnt want to warm up to me just yet. We have seen her quite a few times but idk we'll see. I really hope we can create a better relationship, its probably one of the hardest things ive had to do on the mission, especially since i really dont want this new convert to already go inactive...

Well we are teaching another girl, Yuliya (18 years old) who we set a baptismal date with for the 16th of August and she just came to church this last sunday and said that she enjoyed it so im really excited for her and the progress that she has made. Its kinda unfortunate that we had to set the bap date with her so far away but she works two jobs and only has time to meet with us once a week. But she really loved the last lesson that we taught her which was the plan of salvation and friday we will teach her the gospel of christ so im super excited for that :)

Well i should get going so i can send those pictures to you, thanks for all of the pictures and im super glad that you had a great week in california with Matt and the Reese's! Hope to hear from you soon, ciao!
