It was a good week. We got fed pretty well...on Wednesday we went over to Mario's house and that was dang good but man I felt like I was about to die after that. We had like 5 courses haha! Then Sunday we went to the Camassa's house - they are awesome! We had a bomb meal with them, probably one of the best I've had on my mission. Monday night after last pday we went over to the Dr. Vivo's house for dinner which was good then we had a good spiritual thought with them about gratitude. They are a less active part member family in the church so we hope to be working with them more this transfer. They are just such a nice family, so humble, just great people!
We got to meet with Anna again this week and talked about reading and praying every day. It was pretty awesome to just go over the simple basics that we can do everyday to receive the spirit stronger in our days and therefore receive more power from Jesus Christ through his atonement. As we were bearing testimony on the strength of prayer I was pondering on a past prayer experience and I was just over come with the spirit. It's amazing how much power can come from a simple prayer! I really know that God is always listening when we are sincere.
Saturday we had Moses' baptism and that was really good. We had a good show up. We had Austin speak who is Moses' good friend that was baptized a couple of weeks ago, they read the book of Mormon together at night, it's awesome! Austin gave a really good talk on baptism. Then Sunday was so cool...I got to give Moses the Gift of the Holy Ghost and confirm him a member of the church. It was such an awesome experience! Before that, Richard (recent convert that gave us Moses as a referral) got called as the assistant ward mission leader so that's just sweet and Peter who is the return missionary from Africa, got called to be the Branch 2nd counselor. It so awesome to see the ward grow and see more unity between the Africans and the Italians. I can't wait to see the church continue to grow here in Napoli!!
