Ciao madre! Love the Halloween stuff and the family looks like they're doing good!
Okay
great week! First we had a huge talent show in my ward and it was the
best!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this ward so much. We had over 25 different
talents and it took forever, but SO MANY people came! And guess
what....I was in it! Yeah who knew I had a talent? Haha well actually
first Sorella Mckenna played Popcorn popping on the apricot tree on the
piano...then she came and sat down with all of us sister missionaries
(there's Patterson, Worshum, Mckenna and I right now), and then we
brought out all these water bottles and we played the song by blowing
over the water bottles! It was so awesome and the ward LOVED it.
Patterson acted like she couldn't play and by the end she pretended to
be so frustrated that she crumbled up her bottle for her last note. I
can't send you the video (too big) and I can't describe all of it...but
just know it was really great. Also we made brownies for the cook off
they did--and we totally won. Somehow my brownies tops all Italian food!
We had a lot of investigators come and it made such a huge difference
for them. For example, my lovely Dintino family! The son came, played
the accordion (is that how you spell it?), rocked it, and won the whole
talent show! The son is 14 years old right now and if he gets baptized
now he could be prepared to go on a mission when he's 18 or 19 so we've
been trying to focus more on him. He made a lot of friends at the talent
show and he seemed so happy to win so I think that made a huge
difference for him and the church!
Okay now onto the dad of the
Dintino family. So he's getting baptized in a week and a half (speriamo)
and he is really committed to that date. On Saturday I asked if he was
going to come to church tomorrow and he said that he had to tune a piano
by tomorrow afternoon so he didn't think he would have time. I told him
how he needs to come to church three Sundays before he can get baptized
so if he can't come tomorrow we'll have to move his date. So I didn't
expect him to come to church...but he came! He told me he stayed up ALL
night tuning that piano so that he could come to church and be baptized
on the 7th! WHAT?!?! Che bravo. But there's another little problem...he
smokes. Yesterday he promised to quit and if he doesn't smoke again then
he can get baptized. We're praying really hard that he will have the
strength to do it. But he is really committed to being baptized so I
have full faith in him.
That's all for this week. Vi voglio bene!
Bracio!
Sorella Knudsen
