Anna Caprio and Cosimo are doing well. We had a lesson with them and the D'Andolfo family and it went well. The spirit was strong and we all said things that were perfect for her. I am praying that she prays to know if this is true and acts and does the 5 principles of the gospel. We taught it in a really neat way thanks to Anziano Kunzler. He has this neat book that has the best ideas for teaching investigators. We taught it as son that lived at home and had to go to school to learn and grow and become like his parents so they gave him a car to arive to school. On his way home from school he has an obstacle- a body of water. A man comes and builds a stone bridge which is free. The boy continues on his journey home when he runs into another obstacle which is an earthquake. The same man that built the stone bridge built a woodbridge to go over the earthquake but for this bridge we have to pay 4 euro and then we are able to go home. Home is heaven, the car is our physical body, school is life on the earth, the body of water is physical death, the stone bridge is ressurection, the earth quake is spiritual death, and the wood bridge is the atonement. The 4 euro are faith, repentance, baptism, and the gift of the Holy Ghost. The road is enduring to the end. I loved this lesson. I need to teach more with stories and parables they touch us so much more and remain with us. I gave the training on Repentance and change on Monday and it went so well. I learned so much. Today i am going to make 2 newyears resolutions on temporal and one spiritual so that i can become better and like my savior Jesus Christ. I love the many miracles that there are in the mission. I have seen so many miracles when i listen to the spirit and act upon it but when i try to do the work in my way it never goes great, at times alright but never as amazing as it would have gone, trusting in the Lord.
