Let's start with a Poem:

Another day has come and gone, another moon has set. I am in this land of Italy, working hard you can bet. I think instead of a companion, I will turn my companion into a pet. I learned new word this week, salumi...english for cutlet. And Now i have run out of words that rymth with et.

Hello dearest family! 

We had a baptism! Fiona entered the refreshing waters of baptism Saturday the 18th at 730pm! And technicallllllllly, it was a double baptism because she is 7 months pregnant! Nah, we are just warming that little guy up for his own baptism in 8 years.  The ceremony went wonderfully and I gave a nice talk on baptism. She enjoyed it. Then she was baptized and it WAS PERFECT!! When we ran into the bathroom to greet her she was shevering and exlaiming, "I am freezing because I dont have any sin keeping me warm!!!!!" Amen, praise to heaven YOU ARE CLEAN! 

I love baptisms. 

She received the gift of the Holy Ghost the next day and I think i think this even more. My Spirit goes nuts during the prayer and I am so grateful that Heavenly Father has given us this priceless gift. It is incredible. 

It's been raining a lot here and it's made me do my thinking....you've waiting a long time for this but...

Gospel Principles learned from my bike: RAIN EDITION!!!

1) When riding through a puddle, always lift up your feet and place them on the front bar. The puddle is always deeper than it looks. We have to  live in this life and sometimes it requires us to get our feet wet. However, although we may have be in the world (getting our feet wet) we dont have to be of the word (soaking our feet in the wordly pleasures). Lift the feet out of the water. lift yourself out of the world. 

2) When sharing the road with cars, ride on the outside of the puddle. Put yourself between the puddle and the car. Now initially this doesnt sound to smart.......but it is! Because the cant possible soak you if you are between it and the puddle!!! Satan tries to get us by making innocent things look...innocent....or harmless. Sure, its normal to ride through a little puddle but to the mean cars, they splash anything in the way. Satan is this mean car! DONT LET HIM SPALSH YOU.

3) If you dont want to die, make sure you have brakes BEFORE the storm. This was learned the hard way.....I'm fine mom. 

Well friends and family! That is it for this week. I love you all and remember when times get tough, we get tougher! Remember that you are loved by Heavenly Father, His son and a certain sorella. 

Vi AMO!
