6 MONTHS SAY WHAT?!?!?!?

Howdy yall. Come state?! I hope you're all doing good and if youre not, go get a nice warm krispy kreme donut and some chocolate milk. Guarantee you will feel better. πŸ©πŸ₯›


Another week in Sardegna and Im still alive. I am now the ward choirister and let's just say the hymns don't sound as beautiful as they used to in these days. I saw my first flamingo this week that wasn't in the zoo. πŸ¦© I honestly thought that was their only purpose. Another mythbusted. ✅️Flamingos are real animals, not just the fake ones at the zoo. We got to do weekly planning at the beach. Life changing. If you know me you know I love the water and the beach so i basically felt like I was in heaven. 
We're teaching so many awesome children of god right now. Im teaching people things I never thought I'd teach. There's nothing quite like teaching 60 year old men the law of chastity πŸ˜ƒπŸ«‘🀝🏻

Coolest experience of the week!!!
One of the cute girls in our english course took us on a VIP tour of one of the oldest catholic churches in sardegna. ⛪️I have only ever been in a catholic church once in my life so this was a very eye opening experience. She had her catholic priest take us around and show us the symbolism and everything in the church. It was cool to see some similarities that our church have, but also just how far off they are πŸ˜€. Anyways, we enjoyed the tour with the priest and one of the anziani (who I swear is going to be a prophet one day) turns to him and whips out a book of mormon. He politely offers the priest this book of mormon as a gift and he excepted. And then as we left, the priest gifted that Anziano a book. It was so cool to see two people deeply rooted in both of their faiths be able to talk about their religion openly and lovingly. SO COOL πŸ€―

6 months as a missionary!!! Literally there is no way thats real. I feel like i just got out of the mtc and am still a fresh greenie on the mission. As I look back at these 6 months, I look back at the people i have been able to meet, this language I have been able to learn, and how much I have been able to change. Crazy to think i started my mission papers exactly a year ago. I will forever be thankful for my decision to serve a mission. These people have truly changed my life. Living and teaching this gospel has changed me and brings me so much joy, gratitude, and peace EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. I have never felt happier in my life. Thank you to every one who helped me to get on a mission. LOVE YOU ALL!!! πŸ«ΆπŸ»πŸ«ΆπŸ»πŸ«ΆπŸ»
