We went to Pozzuoli today for zone conference. It is always good to get together with the other senior couples for a few hours. The young missionaries love to get together also. We were instructed and edified. Sister Wagoner gave her departing testimony. She quoted our dear Sister Rossell, as saying, "It is all about what is in your heart." She said that when she first came out on her mission, she had only been a member of the church for over a year. She had only read the Book of Mormon one time and really didn't remember too much about what was in it. But now the Book of Mormon has sunk deep into her heart, as the message has, which she has carried to the people here in Italy. She gave a beautiful quote from CS Lewis and she left a powerful witness of our Savior and e love he has for each of us. I was so proud of her. I wanted to claim her as my own. She has been such a wonderful example of love, hard work, enthusiasm, and testimony.
Sister Wagner is on the right.
We are here with elder and sister Willy who serve in Casserta as military relation missionaries. They are both converts of the church from back east. They don't speak Italian, but they do a wonderful job serving however they can.
Elder Scherbel has a birthday this month so everyone sang to him and one other of our elders in the zone.
