I love this gospel. I know that it is true. We have seen many miracles already in this city. Many times they dont think they are searching for it until they find it. Zone Conference was incredible. I felt so good to see my great friends and companions. I really miss Anziano Silva and Anziano Breen. I am so glad that we go to Rome together for Zone Conferences. I was also able to have a great talk with Anziano Scoville. He was companions with Anziano Shepherd right after he left me. He gave me great advice and answered my questions. I love being a missionary. It is hard. I have to find joy in my sufferings but i would be very ungrateful if i complained about my sufferings because they are forming me into the man that i want to become. I am learning patience a lot of it, love, and how to support and uplift my companion. I know that i am opening a companionship for a reason here in L'Aquila. They are in dire need of the gospel. There are people waiting to be baptized. i need to go and find them. I have a great desire to spread this gospel! I know that it is true with all of my heart. I have had so many answers to my prayers that i know that He answers every prayer in His time and through our faith and actions. I am going to ask for more specifics and then exercize my faith to recieve them. I want 2 baptisms here and i believe that it is possible but not through my work alone but with the miraculous power of God. President and Sister Acerson are incredible. They work so hard. I am so blessed. I loved what President Acerson said on monday at zone conference. He said that we are the ones that need to change. We are the ones that can make the best out of any situation. i know that that is true with all of my heart. Love, Anziano Brewster
