About Me

The adventures of Christian Toronto, a full-time missionary serving in the Rome Italy Mission (Dec 2016-Dec 2018). Christian grew up in Minnesota, then moved to Colorado right before his senior year in high school. He is the third of seven children. He was attending Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah prior to his missionary call. Christian's older brother Simeon completed his mission in Rome, Italy a day before Christian left for his so they literally swapped places. We call them our Roman soldiers for Christ. In his free time, Christian loves basketball, tennis, american history and politics, and music.

Staying Put



Fam,

Knowing that we'll have the opportunity to talk face to face later in the week, I'll leave quite a bit unsaid!

That being said,  this week was transfers, and Anziano Toronto is staying put! Woo-hoo!! At least another 6 weeks in the best city in the mission, that's what I'm talking about! Anziano Rodriguez was sent to Roma III, and in his place comes Anziano Kolsen, from the GANS center in Rome! Anziano Kolsen calls Idaho home, but has moved around quite a bit, is an incredible singer, did theatre and choir, but also MMA and Tennis, so he's kind of all over the place. With Anziano Berger's departure home, Anziano Alexander comes from South Central Sicily to take his place. This has created quite a stir among members, as Anziano Kolsen is 6'3", Anziano Alexander is just a little smaller than I am at 6'6", and Anziano Bertoldo, now a dwarf, is a not so short 6'0". Camillo Battezzato, a 85 year old man, who cruises around at about 5'3", couldn't stop laughing when he came and stood in between the two of us, and I couldn't help but join him! Other moments of note, the usual, but still eventful and successful Sunday night gesso took place, with Libri di Mormon being handed out like candy... this P-Day has been a long one, but full of adventures. We bowled in the morning, cruised Via Etnea, chilled, laughed, talked and had a blast!

As far as skyping goes this Sunday, knowing that church in the morning for you means a later Skype for me, you'll have to let me know whether it works best before or after church for the fam. I'll try to be available whenever works best for the others! All my love, and a cheery salute from our 360 degree view rooftop balcony!

Vi Voglio Benissimo!

Anziano Toronto II
