Hello!

So I hope you all had a great Christmas?! Full of goodies, friendships and the spirit of Christ?  This Christmas brought many surprises, good and bad. One was transfer calls. I was in the middle of cleaning my apartment on Monday when I received the call from President, telling me that I would be transferred to Muggiò, a city near Milan. I'm really sad to leave Alessandria. I love this city, and I've grown alot here. I've learnt what it means to really love others. And how. I've still got a long way to go, but I've got a nice start! I've also seen what I can do as a Missionary, with the Lord's help. I've seen how hard I'm willing to work, and how determined I am to do the right thing. It's been a case of Ether 12:27 at times. I love everyone here, but I guess it's time to move on and love other people too. I know that Alessandria is going to be one of the cities that I will return to very often. But, now I have a new challenge. It's going to be interesting, challenging and difficult. But I'm confident that the Lord will make me able to rise to the challenge, and make something good of it.

I want you to all really think about Ether 12:27. What it really means. Why we have weaknesses, and why the Atonement is so important, how it applies. Look at the events in your lives, and see this verse in action. It's such a commonly quoted verse, but for a reason. I know that it's the way that the Lord works for us to come unto Him, and ultimately be saved.

I love you all!
