Springtime changes

















 Springtime in Italy has brought forth the beauty of the country, 
and the people we teach.  Many families in our military ward are being separated by deployments to fight for freedom.  This leaves families, wives and children to cope without their fathers for 4-6 months.  Many of these families have new babies and children that will miss having their fathers a part of these critical times of their lives.  Such a hard sacrifice they make for our freedom.  Many are part member families and the ward is trying to offer support for each spouse, so more heros are left to help here.  We so admire all of them, and know this scenario is being duplicated all over our globe.  America's fighting men and women are trying to bring freedom to places in the world where it has not been for centuries.  Does this help us understand the importance to us of Free Agency in that council in heaven? Satan continues to want to deprive us of that gift. As we have taught people on our mission we have tried to help them understand how much Heavenly Father loves them and wants them to progress with their free agency.  When we can make choices that bring light to our lives our faith grows as our strength to choose the right grows. We are so blessed to have a Savior that sacrificed and provided us this opportunity to progress and valiantly use our free agency.
