off the rock

Yo yo yo. Goodmorning to all my most favortist people ever. I took my flight off the rock of the island Sardegna  and I am now here in Pescara.   

I LOVE THIS PLACE. ♡♡♡ It is full of beauty and joy and everything awesome and beautiful. My companion is a runner and i AM NOT A RUNNER.  So we made a deal to go running 3 times a week, but the destination is worth it. We live about a mile from the beach so, I get to run there 3 times a week. CHE BELLEZZA!!!!! 

Just a couple of days after i got here we had to head to Rome for MISSION CONFERENCE!!!! I got to see all of my absolutely lovely friends from the mission, my whole district from the mtc, and THE AZ homie Anziano brimhall. 

We had the honor of hearing from Elder Nielson from the Presidency of the 70. (I think its presidency but i could be totally wrong. Vabbe)It was so uplifting and edifying. It was one of the first conferences where I actually didn't get a headache or get tired of sitting for billions of hours. 

It was focused on the redeeming and enabling power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Something I loved was that he talked about the importance of our trials. As missionaries we are asked almost every day "if there is a God, why would he let all these bad things happen to good people?" 

We discussed the importance of Christs Atonement in all of that. Without these trials, what is the point of Jesus christ's atonement? In John ch. 9 it talks about through trials the works of God may be manifest. So basically people, if we don't have these sucky things happen in our life, these heavy heavy burdens that we just feel as though we can not bear WE COULD NOT ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF OUR SAVIORS PERFECT INFINITE ATONEMENT. becuase guess what, we have the honor in being included in that "yoke" with our savior Jesus christ. He is standing right there next to us helping us pull. And lucky for us that man is STRONG and no load is too big for him. Gosh i just love the atonement. Its awesome. 

Anyways Spero che stiate bene. Go study the atonement of Jesus christ bc yall should be using that every single day of your life. And if not, yelp, I'm sorry to tell you but your life's gonna be pretty gosh dang hard. 

OKAY CIAO ALLA PROSSIMA
