Opposition in all things

2/1/2018

Alright let's start this weekly off right!! Honestly don't know how to do that though so I'll just start it with we had Conferenza di Zona (zone conference) yeaterday and it was sooooo good by far my favorite one so far and also only my second lol ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
I'll talk more about it later don't worry! 

Thursday last week we were on scambio (exchanges) with the capi (zone leaders) in Genova, Anziano Minnick and Anziano Johnson went and did service for a member in their ward where they got to ride in a brand new ambulance to go and help old people get to the hospital. Which is pretty dope. While they did that Anziano Johnson and I (both of are zone leaders are Anziano Johnson's) made some lemon bars and planned on taking them to less actives but when we went to find the less actives houses the first one we couldn't find... The second one lived at the top of this hill that we had to basically hike all the way up, we get there and Anziano Johnson forgets what his last name is.... Sooooo we ring all of the c'รจ telefono's to try and find him and the ones who answered didn't know who we were talking about and the others didn't answer (I'll send a picture of a c'รจ telefono) and then we found this sick over view of the part of Genova we were in cause we were on top of the hill (I'll send a picture of the view as well) other than that Thursday was riding a train and all of our classes we teach and institute with the ysa. 
Friday we went to the Mensa (food kitchen) for one of the Catholic convents here in Alessandria and did service in serving the homeless people food! 
Saturday we took Cletus (our recent convert) to a member dinner appointment and we showed the video "A Shower of Blessings" that Elder Uchtdorf and the family really seemed to like it! 
Sunday we had church and had only two investigators sadly in sacrament meeting but we did have a potential come during third hour! That night we went to the Catholic convent to have a dinner they were making for all the volunteers who serve the homeless people during the week. They waited for us to get there to start their prayers that we didn't know ๐Ÿ˜…
Monday we had a sfida (challenge) from President Allen and we got second place out for the whole mission and the Sorella here got 3rd so we're pretty cool 
๐Ÿ’‍♂️๐Ÿ’‍♂️๐Ÿ’‍♂️๐Ÿ’‍♂️ the challenge was 3 people's family situations and testify how the church can help them, 2 acts of service to someone other than your companion, and then 10 peoples contact information on Facebook we finished it 40 minds after the challenge started!!
Tuesday we had district meeting and we had waffles after which were super good and buy a ton of food for zone conference so that took most of the day. 
Wednesday was Zone Conference and we had trainings on Finding, Safety, Comp Study, and How to be the Hero in the lives of others. 
It was very insightful for the Hero one and that's why my title is "Opposition in all things" because there are so many things that are against us even in the real world but if you didn't have the opposition then you wouldn't grow the ways you need to. I know I've seen this a lot in my life mostly because of things I've done for myself but now in my mission it's just things like wearing the missionary nametag makes people stare and sometimes it's awkward but just smile and talk to them its something I'm working on! I love being a missionary and again if anyome who's reading this needs help with anything I'm here for you I love you all please email me! Pictures will come shortly!
Love, 
Anziano Harrison 

Don't run faster than your guardian angels can fly!
