Wow it was a pretty long week! It's been good being back in Olbia! It's pretty funny, every once and a while we'll be on the street and run into someone I talked to a year ago! Some of them I don't remember haha. This week was full of long days of talking just to anyone possible. Its interesting because in some city's there are just so many people and you don't know who to talk to, here is a little different, there seem to be such a small amount of people out that when you see one it's like "wow finally someone to talk to!" But then you get to more populated areas and there are more people.

The first couple of days this week were rough no one even wanted to listen to us, we worked hard and decided to fast for the city. We offered very sincere prayer. Then got back to work. Constantly praying to be able to find someone. We were able to talk to a lot of people who were willing to listen and that was amazing. We've been seeing mini miracles of being lead to the people that will listen.

It was Sunday night and we had about 30 mins left from the night and were pretty far from home and the bus didn't come for about 10 min. That would get us home about on time. We had been having great conversations, people have been listening but no one was willing to know more. We were sitting there thinking about about the week and weren't satisfied. The thought just came that we could just book it home on feet(maybe like a 40 min walk) talk to everyone on the way and hopefully find someone interested. So we did! It was pretty good we talked to a good amount of people and we almost weren't going to talk to this little family that was sitting on their porch but we did last second and they want us to come back tonight to share our beliefs. It was a pretty awesome miracle! Olbia is great and there are always miracles to be found in everyday.

My testimony has grown in lots of different ways this week. I know that God loves all of his children. It doesn't matter if we have weaknesses or doubts; it doesn't matter if we believe him him or not, God loves us and wants the best for all of us, his children. He wants us to return to live with him and has prepared a plan for us to do so. This plan is full of happiness and lasting joy. Christ is the at the center of that plan, he is our savior and he lives! I know that with all of my heart.

Vi voglio bene!
