This week was great! We were trying to meet
with Santo but he's just been working so much. But Saturday night we
finally got to meet with him and it was just awesome! We started talking about
how he has seen the power of baptism in his life and he just kept saying God is
blessing him too much these past days. We asked him about how the smoking was
going and he hasn't touched a cigarette since he's been baptized! That is just
awesome because that was such a big hurdle for him. So he's just really seeing
blessings and it's so awesome to see him with so much more joy! Also Sunday he
had the opportunity to receive the priesthood. It was awesome. Santo was
actually wanting to be a Catholic priest before in his life, and after we gave
him the priesthood he was in tears and gave me a big hug. It was a super
spiritual experience. It's been a huge blessing to be able to watch Santo’s
life change, he's a great example to me.
This week we have had some really interesting
conversations with some people. One of these conversations was while Anziano
Parker and I were doing some finding and out of nowhere some guys yells
"hey Elders!" From his car then pulls to the side of the road and
starts talking to us in English. His name is Massimiliano and it turns out he
knows the missionaries and has read the Book of Mormon all the way through. So
he started walking with us and we were having a pretty deep conversation about
life. Scientists can only create life with something else that is already living.
There are so many things that are unexplainable in this world and really this
just brings me to the scripture
Alma 30:44
"But Alma said unto him: Thou hast had signs enough; will ye tempt
your God? Will ye say, Show unto me a sign, when ye have the testimony of all
these thy brethren, and also all the holy prophets? The scriptures are laid
before thee, yea, and all things denote there is a God; yea, even the earth,
and all things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its motion, yea, and also
all the planets which move in their regular form do witness that there is a
Supreme Creator."
And all these
unexplainable things to me are like proof that there is a Supreme Creator who
is on another level than us. And I know that this Supreme Creator is my Heavenly
Father, that we are all his children and he loves us! Another testimony builder
is the fact of how beautiful Sardegna is! I'm just so lucky! I hope you all
have a great week!
