Wednesday, September 25, 2013. The Week of Many Miracles. Fratello and Sorella Aguilera were on the way to a lesson with us and were telling us how just that day they had been thinking of ways they could help us with the work. Sorella Aguilera said a prayer and asked for an opportunity to help us. Five minutes later, we called and invited her to a lesson. We had three couples from Salt Lake in church with us. On Sunday. It was a beautiful surprise. We got mom hugs from all three of the women. I had the o...

Wednesday, August 27, 2014. Don't Ever Take Directions from the Anziani . . . Every day is better with gelato. Oh, a couple of people asked me about the Roman ruins last week. Here's some advice, don't ever take directions from Anziani. Oh we found it, but we had to take a bus for an hour instead of a short little train ride. So . . . we saw it for about 20 minutes. Don't get me wrong; it was incredible! Pictures from Udine . . . Sometimes you see a sunset and you just know God exists and He loves you.

Wednesday, October 30, 2013. Every Week, More Miracles. We had some beautiful miracles this week, as well as some very . . . interesting moments. That's okay though; we're used to it because we're missionaries. Last night after English Course, Emilio was getting ready. To leave and he put on his helmet, but it got stuck. We told. Him he looked like Megamind, and he was so excited he. Made us take a picture. He invited us into his office and was really excited for us to be there. He said he had been looki...

Wednesday, April 30, 2014. Italians Love Holidays, and I Love Them! This is my wonderful figlia. Look how cute she is. So, I am basically obsessed with Italia. I can't even express how much I love this place. Last week we had three holidays, and there is a holiday tomorrow. I love that the Italian people just love life, they love to celebrate, love an excuse to spend the day with friends and family. It is just about the best attitude in the world. Ta della liberazione [Liberation Day -. It was a good day...

Lights Along the Shore: March 2014

Wednesday, March 26, 2014. A Reason for Everything. This week has really reminded me that everything happens for a reason. I know that we as missionaries are placed in specific cities and specific times because we are meant to be here. We don't always understand why, but when we can acknowledge the hand of God in our lives, we have more strength. Sorella Ellen Rose Ervin. Victor has become one of my best friends! Nick came to Vercelli on Sunday. I love surprises! Wednesday, March 19, 2014. 13 Going on 30.

Wednesday, August 28, 2013. Another Week of Miracles and Love. If you try to take a picture of the surrounding area, an. Italian will probably insist on taking a picture of you. After I emailed last week, we had another lesson with Christian and Valentina. It was amazing! He started planning activities with them, and he was invited to come to a family home evening with us. Before he left, he asked if he could be baptized sooner! This is Emilio and Ilaria's backyard. Sorella Ellen Rose Ervin. Simcox, Ande...

Tuesday, December 24, 2013. Tanti Auguri e Buon Natale! Where here it is folks, Natale. It's the best time of the year no matter where you are in the world. The streets are lit up with lights, folks are walking around open markets looking for last minute gifts, the ice skating rink is full of children young and old, people. Our Societa di Soccorso (Relief Society) really knows. How to take care of us. This year, we've been truly trying to remember The Reason Behind Christmas. Wednesday, December 18, 2013.
