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.

“Come what may, and love it"

February 5, 2018

  This week was good! We are working super hard and it's great and super tiring. Haha gotta love Italy. We have been meeting with a lot of new people and that has been sweet. This week we actually went to a Catholic church and were talking to these people there and some other people started showing up and supposedly they were meeting up for the choir practice. They invited us to sing with them and that was fun. We sang some songs then talked a bit with the priest and then went home. It was a cool experience.  We left a good impression about the Mormons for a lot of people.
  We have been meeting with this guy named Emilio and his fruit shop for a while. Nothing was really coming out of it for a time besides some really good fruit. Anyway this last like week and a half we have been meeting with him a lot and he is really interested to learn more and have us meet with his family. We showed him some general conference talks And he really liked those. But yeah we are excited to meet with his family this week and hope that it would go well.
  Our friend Francesco was sick this week but he likes us a lot and invited us over for pranzo. I called good'ol Sorella Spadafora up and asked her for one of her recipes then made an Italian style chicken noodle soup that was super good! I was actually really surprised it tasted just like the one she made. That was sweet, we talked about the Plan of Salvation and that was good.
  This week we got to meet with Salvatore -which means Savior in Italian so pretty sweet name- who Anziano Bellucci and I met a while go. He is going through a really hard time right now and thinks it's too late to receive help from God, we watched a Mormon message and then bore testimony about Jesus Christ being our Savior and it was super powerful. We invited him to church and he came! I feel like the testimonies that were given were just for him. I love how God can make things happen when they need to happen.
  This week was a week of really hard work and challenges. When I was studying the Book of Mormon one morning I had hymns playing in the background and I found myself listening to the hymn I believe in Christ. It said "I believe in Christ; so come what may" the spirit was really strong I was almost in tears. Because of Jesus Christ we don't have to fear what is to come or what has happened in the past. I love this quote from Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin “Come what may, and love it."  Adversity, if handled correctly, can be a blessing in our lives. We can learn to love it." This is all possible through Jesus Christ because of his atoning sacrifice. I know this that Jesus
Christ lives and he is truly our savior.
Vi vogliamo bene!
Love Anziano Ruiz
