Tomorrow we are doing service for our Branch President up at his summer home in Valva so we will be there all day. We are doing a great activity for Thanksgiving (Giorno di Ringraziamento). We are going to cook 2 turkeys and tons of other things. Then afterward we are doing a talent night. Transfers are the 18th of December so i dont think that there will be a lot of changes but i do believe that i could be transfered. I have no idea but i felt that i would stay last transfer and be transfered right before christmas. I would love to stay here for christmas but at the same time i have been here for a long time and would be ready to go, but i will trust in the Lord and see what He feels is best. I would love to see these people be baptized and progress in the gospel. It was the neatest experience this weekend to go to Rome to pick up my Permesso di sogiorno. There i was able to see Alessandro and he loves writing back and forth to mom and told me that her italian is amazing for 23 years. He still doesnt feel to read the Book of Mormon but he has got to do it. We write back and forth and with time he will do it and it will bless his life a ton! I also saw Barbera and Carmello. It was so neat to see the light in their eyes. Especially in Carmello's. When i left he was very inactive, depressed and a punk. He was having the hardest time and stuck in pride. But now he is so humble, happy and child of Christ. Wow, it made my mission to see them and also hear of all the success that has happened in Rome 4. People that i knew are getting ready to be baptized and that makes me so happy. It built my testimony about the time of the Lord and that things work in His time and in His way. Elder Beau Brewster
