Well we got transfer calls and I'm still here in Vercelli! Sadly my companion Anziano Eusebi got transfered tho, he got transfered to Bologna! That's an awesome city just saying. As for me I got a new companion! His name is Anziano Albright, he's in his 5th transfer so a little younger in the mission but he's super cool! He's from Springville Utah, he wants to be a stunt man when he returns from his mission and the coolest thing of all. He's a ginger!! Fun fact real quick his birthday is on October 31st!! What?! For those of you who don't know I have a brother who's birthday is Oct 31st and he is also a ginger. It's all because of Halloween.
Well this week wasn't very eventful besides the transfer calls, and the transfers themselves lol
Oh ya I'm a district leader now, that's the first time in my whole mission and Anziano Albright is my frist companion who is younger than me in the mission which is kind of crazy 🤪
Most of the week has gone by with member appointments because Anziano Eusebi was leaving and we shared a video called "Egli è il dono" which translates to "He is the Gift" it's a really sweet video and I just want to share a quick little story about this.
Growing up in my family Christmas was always exciting especially when it came to opening presents Christmas morning. My favorite Christmas tradition that we had was called the greatest gift of all. After all the presents had been opened there was always one present left, a small little box under the tree. A simple box with natural colors, nothing to extravagant. We would go in a circle and ask everyone in the family what there favorite present was that they had received that year. When I was little it was maybe a bicycle or as I got old a video game or something of that sort. We would go around again and ask if each family member if they would trade their favorite present for the greatest gift of all (the simple box). When we were younger we didn't always know or understand what was in the box or what the greatest gift of all was, so at times someone would say "no" other times "yes". We would then open the little box which was in fact the greatest gift of all, inside every year was a picture of our Savior, Jesus Christ. We would then go around on last time to ask the same question. Would you trade the greatest gift of all for your favorite present? At this point my siblings and I would always say "yes! Of course we would!" now looking back at this family tradition I see a lot more than I did before, more meaning behind the real lesson that our parents were trying to teach us. Our Savior, Jesus Christ was and is the greatest gift of all. Our Father in Heaven gave Him to us, so that he could suffer for us, die for us. So one day we could return once again to our Heavenly Father's presence. I want to let every single one of you who is getting this email, that I know our Savior lives. He came into this world 2000 years ago to take up the sins of the world. That means you, all of you and me and everyone in the world. He then was raised from the tomb three days after He was crucified, for you. I know that the things that I'm doing as a missionary here and that other missionaries in the world are doing are apart of His work. To bring Heavenly Father's sons and daughters back to Him. If any of you have questions or concerns about any of this please email me or message me on Facebook! I love you all so much! Have a great week!
Vi voglio un mondo di bene,
Anziano Harrison 🇮🇹
Don't run faster than your guardian angels can fly!
