Ciao tutti!
So, I realized that one year ago, I received my call! Can you believe it? I've known that I was going to Italy for a year! Also, Wednesday marks the 6 month in Italy day! I have been here for half a year already! What even, time is NOT a real thing, let me tell ya.
Haha! Sounds like a great Sunday! A classic Sunday. You should have listened to the Holy Ghost! Does Charlie still use the bathroom where ever he wants? What a turd!
Well, it looks like no pig for you guys! Avete spellato!
What are the missionaries like there? The Rome mission is SO funny! Like everyone is really into how they look. Exercise is SUCH a thing! It such a strange culture, half American half Latino. Cracks me up!
How are the investigators? Any who are going to be baptized soon? What happened with Jan? And how is Ann doing?
Gosh dang it!!! Movies just keep coming out, your killing me! And the trips?! So jealous!
Ok, to the week :)
We finally got to see some of our simpatizzanti. One is like PROPRIO Catholic. She just likes our company and has no intention of changing. The other is a family! We had a lesson with the mom. We talked about the Book of Mormon and Joseph smith, and she was like, yeah, that makes sense. Like the saints and Padre Pio right? Agh!
But then, we had an interesting lesson. It was supposed to be like a drop lesson. We were going to hammer the Book of Mormon, and be like "if the Book of Mormon is true, then Joseph Smith was a prophet of God. If that is so, then this is THE ONLY TRUE CHURCH!!! Then, if she didn't get that, we were going to say, well, I don't know. Any who. We do the lesson, and she was like agreeing. And we like basically redo the lesson to make sure she was on the same boat, and still, she was agreeing. So... Bap invite. And she was like, yeah, that would be great. Huh. Never heard that one before. Not sure how to react, we kind of talk about how baptism is honestly the only thing to do if this stuff is true is be baptized. So we extend the invite again, and ask her to pray about it. She opens her bible to a random page, and the first thing she reads is about John the Baptist baptizing Jesus. So, she says, "well, you saw me open this up right? My answer is here, I need to be baptized." Silence. WHAT!?! So crazy! We extended a date, and she excepted. We'll see how it goes, she still needs to come to church, and the whole family should be a part of this, but I was in shock. We'll see what happens!
We found a lot of people the other day doing finding. A new simp, an x simp, and an inactive member! So crazy! It was quite a night!
Then last night, we had a FHE with this member. She invites people, so, we never know who will be there. Our crazy lady with the voices, a new convert couple who are basically the best ever, the member, and her autistic daughter. So, if the missionaries are invited, they do the lesson. So, we talked about light. It went all over the place. Then, we had dinner, which was lots of veggies. At 10:00, we leave the house. We need to get home at 9:00... In case you where wondering how the night sounded, the last question before we left was "Sorelle, can members of the church buy from the Chinese?". Yeah, it was crazy.
That's about the week. Everything is going well here, about half way through the transfer already! Crazy! President says that 7 new sister companionships are opening up because there are so many sorelle coming in, and only 2 Anziani leaving. So... There will be sisters in cities that haven had sisters in then for years, and Cagliari might even get another set... A 6 sister house... Mama mia!
Love you all!
