Hey everyone,
This week I spent the majority of it in a bed. I am pretty sure I had
bronchitis most of the week, and could hardly talk without coughing. It was
really frustrating and by the end of my sickness I was super glad to finally be
able to leave the apartment.
A couple of cool things, we had a zone training where we were told that at
the end of April we will be getting ipads to use for missionary work! It will be
a big change to the way we do some of our files and reporting, and will make
accessing information so much easier. It is the reason why Elder Bednar is coming to
Milan to speak with us.
Sunday while I was in bed laying down we had an interesting experience.
Anziano C. was making some lasagna for lunch and we hear shouting and
banging outside our door. An old Italian lady came in and just started yelling
some vulgar things at us asking if our water was flooded. We told her no, and
she showed us in her apartment below ours, that water was dripping from the
ceiling. It was really freaky, so we called a plumber to check it out, and in
our water heating system that was just installed, had a hole in one of the pipes
in the wall , so it would occasionally leak into the ceiling of the apartment
bellow us. After she found out it wasn't our fault she became like the nicest
old lady you could ever meet.
We had to stay in all Monday though because the people who came to fix took
forever and we couldn't leave with them there. After the two men finished we had
a really good conversation with them, and were able to give them some book of
mormons before they left the apartment.
Yesterday I was feeling much better, and we met with Maurizio again. I love
hanging out with him. He just is always so bright and happy to see us. We will
call him and ask when to meet, and he will always say whatever time you can be
there, I will be there. He truly sees that we care about him.
We also have been fellow-shipping a part member and less active family.
Thania, Kim, and Moreet. They are from Peru, and are all in their mid upper
20's. They really enjoy hearing about our experiences and about who we are as
individuals. I have come to appreciate this because it really helps create a
bond that truly means something. They are coming to church more regularly, and
Kim who is not a member has started to open up more.
I would like to leave with a scripture from John 7:17 that says "If any man
shall do his will, he shall know of the doctrine" If we put the will of God
first in our lives, we will truly understand what his plan is for us and the
teachings behind it. As a servant of God, I know this to be true, and it is true
to all those who Seek, and Do his will!
Have a great week everyone
Anziano Chase
