Buongiorno!
I hope that everyone has had a great week. This week for me was a little nuts. We were all over the place and it just all seemed like a lot of traveling and stuff.
So Monday night we went and picked up Anziano Calvagna and we were planning on going to Terni that night but we had to wait for the train so we went and grabbed some dinner while we were waiting. We went and ate at Asian Delight again which was so good. That place is really awesome. Well we were sitting there and felt like we should call the sisters because we knew that one of them could probably use a blessing because she had something happen earlier that day. So we went and did that and then got a call and we totally forgot that we had an appointment set that night but we got all thrown around with having to go to Terni for a couple of days. So we stayed in Rome 1 and then rescheduled that appointment with that sister for the next day and had a good service opportunity there as well. We then went to Terni after that and we got there to have enough time to get to an appointment. The lesson went really well and we taught about the Plan of Salvation and she was really struck by some things that she hadn’t heard before such as Spirit Prison and Spirit Paradise and the three different Kingdoms of Glory. Instead of just heaven and hell. It was really nice and the member was really good as well. We then had a good English course and we watched Legacy the movie about Joseph Smith. One guy seemed really interested about it so that was sweet!
After English course we had another lesson that went really well. This investigator really accepts things easily and she seemed super cool.
We taught on the word of wisdom there. It was a really good lesson. To finish off the night we went and picked up some pizzas from this place that cooks Napoli pizzas and the guy was from Napoli. That was the best pizza I have had while I have been here hands down. It was so good. Well the next day our appointments fell through so we headed back to Rome 1 with all three of us in the afternoon, and had a lesson with a less active and a new investigator. It went well but it will just be a slow process for sure. The next day were transfer days so we went and dropped off Anziano Calvagna in Termini where all the transfers basically go down and helped a little with the bags as well.
We were only able to rub shoulders with a few greenies but that’s ok.
Well then the rest of our week went well. Saturday we received a referral from a member and went and saw him later that day. It was really nice and he seems like he will be a lot of fun to work with.
That member has been on fire with referrals lately though! We then had a ward activity Saturday night that we did an object lesson about the Atonement. We did it with the doughnut story that seminary class did once. It was super cool and really made me think all that he went through for us.
I am very thankful for him and his atoning sacrifice and he knows me perfectly and has given me the chance to be able to return to live with him and my Heavenly Father for eternity.
Some things I studied this week that I really enjoyed was a talk by President Thomas S. Monson entitled “Ponder the Path of thy Feet.” It was really good and shows how we can be like the savior in our lives. I really liked that one and then I also read one that is a little longer and it was a young adult devotional but it is really good for everyone. It’s by Elder D. Todd Christofferson called “Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread.” This one talks about how we can take life each day at a time. With small moments that can really get us to those larger things in life. I really enjoyed that one as well and would encourage you guys to read those this week. I am thankful for this Church and all the blessing that I have had through this Gospel.
I know that these things are true and I know it because I have read the Book of Mormon and prayed to know if it is true and I have received an answer. I love this Gospel and a, thankful for the changes and blessings that it has brought to my life. I love you all and hope you all have a wonderful week. Talk to you soon!
