ella update!


i got a letter from Ella and Ella wants you to know that they are getting 39 new Italian missionaries! That will make it the biggest the Italian zone has ever been! she is really excited! she says it makes her happy because " I know that Italy is gearing up for the temple being built. the work there is moving forward" she goes on to say that if it could move forward there where no one really thought there could be a temple ... it could move forward anywhere in the world. she says especially in Hawaii, although its hard to do missionary work at home it is important. that members are there to help as missionaries come and go. she also says she feels blessed that she got to grow up in the gospel and that she is grateful to her parents for raising her in the church. as well as her grand parents for raising our parents in the church for those who accepted the gospel and their responsibility to share it. she says she hopes to be a great missionary in italy (we all know she will be) she also says she loves the MTC and any RM would tell you the same.... she leaves the MTC on April 5th so any thing you want to send nows the time after that things will need to be sent to italy and must be marked missionary supplies other wise she will be charged for all contents of the package!
she had bore a little part of her testimony so i could share it.

"I know that this church is true & that God is our father in heaven & he knows us all so well & gives us trials that will make us stronger if we endure them righteously. I know that Joesph Smith saw God the father & Jesus Christ in the flesh and bone. they are real. I know that living the gospel with exact obedience will bring us blessings & help us back home to our father in heaven. i know that commandments & the teachings of all the prophets since Adam are true & are applicable to us individually at all times of our lives I hope one day i can be that good to be a servant of God that at the last day he can say to me "well done , thou good and faithful servant, thou hast been faithful over a few things. i will make thee ruler over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord."- Matt 25:21 one day I'll be much better at being a disciple of Christ. :) I love this work , love learning & growing everyday. I say this in the name of Jesus Christ. amen"
