An awesome miracle!

October 18,2016
  This week went sweet! We had an awesome miracle with Jorge! So the first time we taught  him we taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ and it went really good, when we talked about baptism he had a huge smile on his face He really liked it when we said that you can be born again, after that Jorge was pumped  so I gave him the baptismal invite and he said no because he doesn't want to commit to a church he wants to commit to Jesus. Which is perfect because that's what we want too! Baptism in not about joining a church. It's about being set on the path to eternal life and happiness and centering your life in Christ. So we were happy about that. Then later that week we were able to get a hold of him because he now has an Italian phone number. We tried calling and he didn't answer 3 times but then sent us a text asking who it was, I told him it was Anziano Ruiz and he was super excited to hear from us! He said that he had been thinking of us lately and wants to get baptized! So that was an awesome miracle! Whenever we mention baptism in a lesson he gets super pumped haha its so cool! We are planing on having dinner with him on Thursday with the Stephenson family. Brother Stephenson knows Spanish from his mission so he can talk with Jorge in Spanish, and we are planning on watching the restoration in Spanish after dinner. I'm super pumped! Jorge is from Peru so shout out to Elder Garin Whitby, he's gonna love the people there!
  Yesterday I had my first zone conference so that means birth testimonies. All the new missionaries in our zone had to bear out testimonies in Italian. It was, interesting.. haha I definitely need to work on my Italian. It's coming though so that's good. Anyway zone conference was good it was good to see some other missionaries.
  Today for Pday was super sweet! We played zone Calcio (football = soccer) again with a lot bigger teams it was super fun! I'm 195 right now so it was interesting running around with an extra 20 pounds haha all muscle tho! I promise.
  Well we have a mission wide conference in a couple of days so I've been taking care of missionaries that are here from Malta and Italy. We are all really excited to hear from Russell M. Nelson!
Thank you all so much for your prayers I feel them and see the miracles from them everyday!
