I can grow mandarin seeds


Febbraio 28, 2013

Hosford Family,

Last day of February.  I hit 22 months in the mission yesterday. Things here are just flying.  Things are going good but they are flying. Yesterday was p-day and the first thing that I did was check to see if I had been accepted at BYU.  To my surprise I had been.  Even now I am thinking about it.  There is some stuff that I need to arrange. I need to find a service program to lead, housing  (with housing I would like 3 things:  good internet, my own room, and to live on the southside of campus), then I need to decide about classes and Italian.  Either ways it’s going to be a new adventure.  Three adventures in 6 years (BYUI, mission, and now BYU). Other than that I am doing well.  I have really proven that I can grow mandarin seeds to everyone’s surprise.  I have 2 more seeds that are trying to spring up, but they aren’t ready.  So I threw more dirt on top.  Then I added some tomatoes and peppers to the lot.  We will see here soon.

Our work is going well.  It could be better.  Sunday was a great day.  Francesca and Angelo came to Church.  They stayed for all 3 hours and the ward just covered them. Maribel who is the less active girlfriend of one of our investigators came for the 2nd or 3rd week in a row. She is making friends with many.  Many of our investigators are reading daily and many aren’t. However, we are focusing a lot more on feeling the Spirit and pointing it out. That and the importance of the restoration.  We have been doing a lot of work to grow the English course. We have placed many flyers that are pretty much permanent,  and are jus t waiting for people to come. We still haven’t been able to see several investigators which is very frustrating, but we are trying.  Things are a lot of fun here.  It’s starting to warm up already. It seems like we didn’t have winter here.  Last year in Siracusa it was much colder.  We are actually going there next week.  Other than that not a lot going on with me.  Just trying to figure things out.  Love you all very much and keep an eye out for my box.  –Anziano Hosford
