So I don't have much
time this week because we are going to the Amafli coast today so I'm
writing fast. But this week Sorella Webster got a little sick and we did
a lot of service, so there's not too much to report. Although when she
got sick we took her to this less active who gave her all this stuff and
it was a blessing to see the less active and get her more involved in
the church. But this weekend we had some awesome miracles!!
Okay this weekend we had stake
conference! So our dear investigator Rosaria, who is preparing for
baptism, but has not come to church yet because some family problems.
Well unfortunately (but fortunately for us) this family member got sick
and was in the hospital...which means there wasn't any problems for her
to come to church! She came Saturday evening and it started out really
great and she loved everything then her son started calling her nonstop
and asking her to come home because he was locked out and she was really
stressed because she didn't want to ask President for a ride home yet,
also I thought the conference was only one hour long...but it turned
into 2.5 hours long! So she was having a hard time and wanting to go
home, then her son got into the house and everything was fine and she
stayed till the end. She told us that she couldn't promise that she
would come to church on Sunday and we decided not to push it too much.
Fast forward to Sunday and all of us are sitting watching the conference
when I get a text from Rosaria saying "shhh!! I'm coming to church and
surprising you guys!" Hahaha how cute! So it didn't end up being a
surprise, but it was so cool that she called all these people to get a
ride to church and showed up in the middle of it! She was a little
disappointing it was stake conference and not sacrament meeting, but she
promised to try and come next too!! She is so awesome!

Also, we're teaching this lady
named Irene who is the mom of some recent converts. On Saturday I
called her to see if she wanted to come to church and she said she was
going to her church. I told her, we would love it if she came to church
here. I used my persuasive skills and she couldn't say no. She came and
loved it!

For the Sunday session we
actually had a broadcast from Switzerland where Elder Anderson and
Uctdorf spoke to everyone in Europe. It was so great!
This
week two guys from Boston are staying here trying to find information
about their family. Yesterday a member had us missionaries and them over
for lunch and it was so funny! I'm so used to Italian culture by now
and it was hilarious seeing these two guys having to adjust to it. It
was their first Italian meal and she gave us a lot of food and they were
dying because they weren't used to eating that much (babies, that was
not a lot of food at all). We told them all Italian really in having
spiritual experiences through their dreams (sometimes I feel like
people's faith here are based off the dreams they've had, it's
interesting) and then this member went off of this huge spill about all
the dreams she's had about Christ. It was mostly just funny talking to
one of them who served in Korea and hear what his mission was like
compared to ours.
Anyway I'm off to see the most beautiful place ever. Ciao! vi voglio bene!
