Sorella and Anziano Gardanier

As we celebrate Valentines Day in the mission we reflect on Christlike love. 

The missionaries in our district always look forward to their interviews with President and Sorella Wood. We are so humbled by their love and stamina. Since she blends in with the young sister missionaries, Sorella Wood is the 2nd one from the right. 

We continue to be blessed to be witnesses of one of Italy's nicknames, "Bel Paese" (Beautiful Country). As part of our role of helping find new missionary apartments, we went to the scenic little mountain town of Sondrio which borders Switzerland and Austria. 

Alessandria Zone Conference We were blessed to have Elder and Sister Gerard of the Seventy do a tour of our mission this past week through four combined zone conferences. We were asked to attend each conference in order to help with logistics behind the scenes.  We were filled both physically and spiritually at each stop of the tour as we heard inspired messages about "faith not fear", "Patterned after the Doctrine of Christ", "Unlocking God's Power through Faith", and "Lifelong Discipleship".
