Vicenza - Week 10

Hey everyone! This week was probably the best week I've had so far in my mission. We were stacked with a lot of fun stuff. We were visiting some really amazing people and getting to know their life stories, and sharing a message about the gospel with them. We met a Rasta African who loves meditation, An Italian rapper, and old Albanian guy who does a great "old man walk", tons of other Africans, and some really great members who have been inactive for a while. We met this lady Nancy D., who is a less active. She called us to ask for a blessing because her husband is not a member. She was having some pain in her neck. We loved how she had the faith and humility to call us and ask for a blessing. We gave her a blessing (saying it in Italian was the scariest thing I’ve ever done so far here) and the next day she called us and said she felt soooo much better. And THEN she invited us to go visit her sister because she wanted her sister to come back to church too. It was pretty great, her sister had such a great testimony and is going to come back to church.

We also had another dinner with my "nonna" (Italian Grandma), Rosanna, and her friend and daughter. We had another big meal, starting with a hand crafted Pesto Pasta, then a Crepe with Spec, apple, bresciamella, then a pan (Bread) with soft potato in it, then little fried pizza rolls, and finished up with apple strudle. It was a pretty delicious meal. 

We had a scambio also and I was with Anziano C. and we had a really good day.  We had a half hour between lessons at the Parco Querini so we decided to try and catch some baby bunnies and roosters. We looked really strange doing it, but we vowed to catch one before we leave Vicenza.

Eddie and Larry, our two African brothers are still doing great. Their baptism date is set for the 1st of November. They just have so much trust in God, and see us as their brothers. I really admire their willingness to do what God desires of them.

Anyway, time has been flying and I love the attitude and theory Anziano S. and I have developed, which is the law of attraction. If we wake up and have positive thoughts, like a radio wave, what we send out will come back in it’s like form. We will receive more positive because we are sending out positive vibes. That's a lot of the reason why we had so much success this week. You should test that out, I really think it works. Anyways have a great week everyone!!
