How's it goin? Thungs here are gudu like the little indian kid's brother that got lost.
"Guduuuuuuuu!"
Anyways we had a good week full of work. Right now in our area we are trying to meet with a lot of people but unfortunately like our second week here we had like 7 bidoni. So now we're just kinda trying to recover from that. I would say that this area has a lot and a lot of people that have potential to be interested. We just need to meet with them and get things going. We have been able to meet with this lady named Ch... who is the sister of a member. We have had two really great lessons with her and her brother. We even asked her if she would be baptized because she told us that she knows the Book of Mormon is true. She said that she had already been baptized in another church. So the next time we re-did the restoration that the Sorelle had done before and really focused on authority. It went super well there was a really strong spirit especially during the first vision. We then invited her to pray. We'll see how it goes. Pray for her because she really needs to find a job otherwise she is gonna have to move to Germany.
Basically the two important things we are doing this transfer are building relationships with members, meeting with potentials, and make area book calls to send the privacy notice that the Church wants us to send. That way a whole bunch of people won't get whiped out from area book and their salvation will still be a posto and stuff
Other than that, this week we were able to do some really good service on Saturday. We went to a member's house and painted the whole thing. Pictures below. It was a good time. We are thinking of looking into some other good service opportunities. We wanted to go this week to the Caritas which is like a soup kitchen and see if we can volunteer there.
But yeah that's basically what's goin' on. Oh yeah the other week Anziano De Feo came and spoke to us. He's from southern Italy. It was really really cool. An interesting thing he told us is that our calling as missionaries is a part of the atonement of Gesù Cristo. He didn't say that it's linked to the atonement or that it is possible because of the atonement he said it is PART of the atonement. That was interesting. He talked a lot about our calling it was really special.
Anyways how are you guys doing? From Mom's email it sounds like all is well so that makes me gappy. I meant what I typed. To answer some of your questions Maham I do like Ravenna it's a nice city. Probably Venice was my fav. You don't get a prize for guessing correctly.
The other day I was asked to give a blessing all'improvviso in English. I'm not used to it in English but it went well. I've given my fair share of blessing out here in the field and it's always a really cool experience for me. I don't think I've written about them. This one was for a member named L... who's brother had just died. I was prompted to tell him that he will see his brother again. It was tender and all that. L... is awesome. He's from Liberia but talks like he's straight from the US. He told us that he is the usher for sacrament meeting (it's a thing that Italians do. They like to have an usher for sacrament meetings it's kinda strange) but he was so pumped to tell us that he was able to be the usher he was like, "yeah for real man! I'm the USHER!!! for real!!" It was funny.
