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.

"Something powerful happens when a child of God seeks to know more about Him and His Beloved Son"

January 29, 2018 

  This week has felt so long! Haha in the beginning we had zone conference in Taranto and that went pretty well! We talked about faith and how that brings miracles. It's always good to see President Pickerd and Sorrella Pickerd for interviews. They are the best. After zone conference we took the Taranto Anziani to Cosenza with us for a scambio and that was good. I was with Anziano Sacco, he was actually trained by Anziano Daniele my companion so that's neat. We had good time and were able to teach the restoration to lady who said she has been falling away from Christianity, she loved the message. We also got to meet up with this guy who knew the missionaries from a long time ago. It was coo,l we met them at a bar. Here in Italy bars are a lot different than America, they are more like a gas station store, kinda hard to explain. Anyway we met him there and he brought a couple of friends and they were all like in their 70's and not very interested in the Gospel. I told them that we were actually American spies searching for information. That got their attention haha. We told them we were joking then bore testimony of Jesus Christ and left after talking for a bit. They really liked us haha maybe they'll come to church one day.
  After zone conference and the scambio, Anzaino Daniels and I had a lot of appointments fall through which was too bad. But we did a lot of super good finding and taught the restoration  to many times to count on the street. It was really good. They are all very spiritual experiences, it's so cool to feel the spirit as we teach God's message.       We teach pretty powerfully together. We have a lot of cool people to meet up with here soon. On Sunday we had a pronzo with the  member that we made homemade gnocchi with and that was super good, her name is Sorella Mineri. She'll have to move like a dresser in her house and call us over for help and make us food haha she's pretty awesome.
  As a mission we have been invited to read the book or Mormon more. I love what President Russel M. Nelson says about it. "Something powerful happens when a child of God seeks to know more about Him and His Beloved Son. Nowhere are those truths taught more clearly and powerfully than in the Book of Mormon" in Preach My Gospel chapter 5 it talked all about the Book of Mormon, one thing it says "The Book of Mormon, combined with the Spirit, is your most powerful resource in conversion." When I read the Book of Mormon I'm enlightened  . I know that because of the Book of Mormon my testimony of Jesus Christ is stronger than it would have ever been without it.
Vi vogliamo bene!
Have a great week.
Love Anziano Ruiz
