Right now i am in Rome for our zone leader council and i am loving it! Guess who is here? My Babbo (trainer) Elder Scoville. He is here on vacation. He got in yesterday morning and came to the villa last night. I love my Dad. He is so great. He is studying at BYU to be a doctor. He is running many marathons and is doing great. This morning we ran an hour run and it was a blast. We talked about everything. I am going to see him before i go off to college. He gave me the greatest advice last night. I asked him what i could do to make the best of the rest of my mission. He said that it is the end sprint. He told me to give it all that i got and to step up the pace. He told me to set high goals and acchieve them. He said to find a family and baptize them before i go. I am going to do it. That is my goal. I am going to find a family and bring them to the fold of God. I am going to talk to everyone that i possibly can. I have been striving to do this my whole mission but now i am going to do it with more intent. He said to enjoy it; EAT IT UP! And I am! I love the mission. We had the best Zone Leader Council yesterday. The Spirit was so strong! We laughed, cried, felt united as we strove to think of ways to serve our fellow missionaries. President Acerson's motto is LOVE YOUR MISSIONARIES! And when you're done with that, LOVE THEM SOME MORE. I love my mission president. I truly do. I felt His great love, experience, and care. I love Sister Acerson. SHe is so selfless and hard working. She has a great courage and love for people. She is the first one to go to you and say how are you and then make you feel like the most important person on the earth. Well, i have a lot to do today. My companion, who is amazing--Elder Sponseller, and I are going to the center of rome with jonathan scoville and jonathan. Love Elder Brewster
