  I still don't understand how the transfers just keep getting faster! We get calls tonight I'm pretty sure Anziano Bellucci and I are going to be staying another one together her in Cosenza. But you never know! The members love us both so much it's pretty awesome! 

  We met with Francesco a couple of times this week I also invited us over for pranzo.  He is super cool but is mostly just interested in being friends. He is planning on being in America September of this year and we wants to meet Anziano Bellucci and me in to Utah. Hopefully things work out! He is a awesome guy!! 

This week we got to get in contact with some relatives of a member here, they invited us over for Pranzo too but we were already going to Francesco's. We were still able to visit them help them with some English home work and teach the restoration. It was pretty cool!

  We also got to stop by this guy named Luigi at his shop and teach him the restoration. He wasn't all about it but he really loves how important the family is to us and out church. I always like starting and leaving on common believes.  It just makes for such a great experience. 

  We did a scambio this week with some Anziani from Taranto. That was good, I got to work with Anziano Strong and it was good we pretty much just did some good finding and taught English course then had some super good panzerotti!! After English course we had a really cool spiritual thought. We were talking about the weather for English course so we shared a scripture from the Holy Bible then from the book of Mormon. It's awesome to see how well the Book of Mormon and the Bible support each other. Matthew 7: "24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock." Then Helaman 5:12 says "12 And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall."

  I know that these things are true and that we can endure all things thanks to the love that Jesus Christ has for us. I know that he lives and that he truly is our savior!

Vi vogliamo bene!

Love Anziano Ruiz
