Book of Mormon 3 Nephi 5: 13


Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I have been called of him to declare his word among his people, that they might have everlasting life.

The Gospel and commandments do not constrict us in anyway, if fact they give us more freedom!

August 7, 2017 

  Geez this week seriously flew! Napoli is so awesome. It seems like we eat on the street more here because it's so cheep and good. That combined with meal appointments we only ended up having to make food for ourselves one day this week! Pretty crazy but awesome! The missionary work here is awesome too and it's growing! Its pretty neat there is a return missionary and new convert who are both African and they just do so much missionary work, then they'll invite people to baptism during lessons. It's pretty sweet. We have actually taught in English a good amount this week. 

  We have seen some pretty sweet miracles this week with finding people. One day We were just going through the area book which is just like records of people taught and we ended up talking to some people and setting up lessons for this week which was sweet. But one of the guys we called was super excited to hear from us and was and like "yeah I really want to meet you! So in 30 minutes I'll be at the church" so we hurry over to the church and meet Franco. We taught him the message of the Restoration then had him pray to see if it was true for the closing prayer. He couldn't stop saying that he feels something good inside and it was awesome to see the spirit already testifying to him. We will meet with him tomorrow and I'm really excited to see what the Lord has in store for him. 

  Another cool experience was when we were finding and didn't really know what to do so we just kinda did what seemed enjoyable while still doing the Lord's work. So we walked along the great lingo mare (board walk) of Napoli then went up to this big areal view of Napoli and it was sweet! We talked to people and found a new investigator and a potential couple from that. That was a cool night because it was just a bigger testimony builder that we can have fun doing the Lord's work. The Gospel and commandments do not constrict us in anyway,  if fact they give us more freedom! It help us overcome carnal temptations of pleasure, and helps make righteous everlasting joyful decisions. This was what enables us to overcome anything in this life! I know that Jesus lives and that he is our savior and though Him and His Gospel we can have joy in every moment of our lives! 

Hope you all have a great week!

Vi voglio bene!
