And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

– Mark 8:34.

Hello everyone!   So, I've packed my bags again, I'm leaving for Udine, which is near Venezia! Reggio has been so fun, working with the members, learning Twe (mg peh pah!) and Spanish (como estas hermanos?), and generally working hard! A less active we've worked with just became the second counsellor in Young Mens, and taught his first lesson sunday! I'm so proud! Rita our new convert is going through a hard time, but is coping well! Krishna and Anamaria the other new converts are doing well as well!   I've changed alot, according to the Ward. The Mission changes you so much. Each city you go to changes you, forms you, and leaves an everlasting impression upon your life. Reggio will always be the place where I took responsibility, and saw that I really can do Missionary work. I wish I could have stayed another six weeks, but I know that something new in Udine is awaiting me and that I have things to learn from them too. I don't think I'll be recognisable when I get home! If you haven't served a Mission, and thinking about it, do it! It is a lot of stress, especially when you have to race around the city looking for your "kidnapped" Sister Missionaries, and when Baptisms come, but that is all part of the fun. When you leave a city, and you see how you were at the beginning compared to how you are when you leave, you just have a great feeling of satisfaction, and growth. The impact people have on you, and that you have on others is tremendous. There is nothing like it! So, go serve Missions, and see how many Blessings there are instore for you!   I love you all!   Anziano Nelson
