This week has been great as always! It has
also been very busy with missionary work and that is awesome! Also it snowed
this week so that was awesome! It was coming down super hard at times but
didn't really sick so we ended up with maybe 4 inches it was enough to make me
really happy though!
We had
some lessons with Silvano this week and they were great as usual! We taught the
law of tithing and of the fast and it was so good. Its cool on the mission when
you teach something then in the lesson you realize how good that thing is and
how many blessings come from it. While we were teaching I was thinking of my testimony
and realized that it was very strong on these two commandments! A phrase has
been starting to pop in my head a lot and it's so true. "The bigger the
sacrifice, the bigger the blessing" this applies to so much in life.
Silvano also came to church loved it! He
learned so much and during our lesson later that night he kept referring to
church, how it went, how much he learned and the spirit there! In that lesson
he mentioned his desire to be baptized and said that he is preparing every day
for it! He also told us his story of how he started meeting the missionaries
and just how everything worked out. It's just so cool to see the plan that God
has for people! His first contact with the missionaries was in 2014. His testimony
is amazing to hear and to see the change in his life these past 2 months just
brings so much joy!
We also had another miracle this week! We
were waiting for an investigator to show up and we decided to go out and wait
for him and he wasn't there so then we just started walking around talking to
people and giving out English course cards and there was a guy about to cross
the street and so I thought “nah, he's crossing the street I don't need to talk
to him, but as I got closer I felt like I should stop him so I did and he
seemed interested! Then the next day we got a call from him asking how to get
to English course and so we were super excited. After English course we had a
super good spiritual thought and everyone stayed after the prayer to continue
talking. During the conversation I asked Silvano how he has seen his life
change ever since he started meeting with the missionaries and he gave a really
awesome testimony. Leonardo accepted to have us over the next day to teach his family
and it was awesome! We are so excited to continue helping them. Miracles come
when you follow the spirit!
Thank you all so much for your prayers I
really see them. This week was awesome,
I hope you all have a great week!!
Vi voglio un sacco di bene!!
