Ciao!
How great was general conference?! Unfortunately i still
havent seen the sunday afternoon session so dont tell me anything about it yet!
I really enjoyed President Uchdorf's talk about the dandylions, it reminded me
of the hymn "Lord, I would follow thee" when in the 2nd verse it says
"who am i to judge another when i walk imperfectly". In life we are
always going to be faced with hurdles, or challenges. And when we trip over our
hurdles and fall down the last thing that we want is for people to laugh at us
when we are down and judge us for not being able to jump over the obsticle.
When Christ was on the earth he too had to take part in the "race" to
the "finish line", however instead of laughing at or judging the
people who had tripped over hurdles as he rand by them he helped them back up
to their feet and gave them a second chance to finish the race. This talk
helped me realize that. I hope that i can immitate christ's love and do as he
did while he was here on the earth which is to not judge others because they
sin differently than me, but rather to help them to their feet and continue
onward.
Well the work here in Bologna is still going a little slow.
However, our investigator lukebana is making some really good progress!
Yesterday while i was on an exchange with another missionary in Ferrara, my
companion and the District Leader taught Lukebana the Plan of Salvation. He
accepted all of it and really enjoyed the idea of eternal families. He is a
really great guy who has a great faith in God but has a little difficulty
accepting that christ is our savior and the Son of God. He is getting a little
more accepting of the idea however and i really think he is going to make some
great progress.
Well that is pretty much all that happened this week,
nothing super crazy but thats not always a bad thing ha. Well i love you guys
and i'll hear from you next week!
