Hello my good friends!! (That was
way too formal and strange)
This week was definitely a better
week. It has been just so spiritually uplifting. This week we found 4 new
investigators!! We have been working with a lot of families and there is a new
private, Luke, who is working on the base. We invited him to hear the gospel
and he was all up for it. We are teaching him again today and we just hope that
he keeps his enthusiasm up, because he said ever since he started talking with
us, he has been much happier with life and himself. On Sunday, we did a pass by
with an African member named Anes, to stop by a lady named Patricia. We taught
her the Restoration, and the spirit literally overtook the room. I had a hard
time opening my mouth because I just wanted to sit there and take it all in!
On Monday we didn’t find anyone, but
what we did find, was a smoking cool Ferrari just parked outside our apartment.
I know I am in Italy, but every time I see one, it still gives me the same wow
factor. So naturally I took a picture with it.
Yesterday, I gained a huge testimony
of fasting again. We decided to start a fast to improve the work of
investigators. I started with a prayer and just asked if we could get our
message across to everyone we spoke to the next day. We started off the morning
doing some park finding. The first person we spoke to listened right up and
accepted our invitation to meet again. We were both shocked because the finding
percentage of people who say yes to us is soo low. The next person we speak to,
surprisingly says YES too! It happened like that 4 times!!! We were soo
blessed. We also were able to meet with Josephine and teach her about Esther
and the courage that she had to face her fears, and she started tearing up with
joy. I know the Lord blessed us in our fast, and that we had the faith to
receive these miracles in our lives
I know that as we go throughout our
lives, if we use the opportunities the Lord has given us to receive blessings,
then he will thereafter pour them out to us!
One last message: I was reading
about families and this little thought popped up. Heaven is a continuation of
the ideal home. If we set our principles on the foundations of the gospel, then
we will see all the blessings that come from God, and it will be as if we never
even left home. I know that we can have our own little piece of heaven if we
set our standards in our homes and that we can help others by being that
example!
Have a fantastic week everyone and
ci vediamo il prossimo settimana!
