Sorry this week was so boring for everyone at home. I'm sorry to hear about Kim, and I'll begin praying for her as well, hoping the tumors can be healed or her passing can be eased, and continue to pray to Grandma as well. I'm working on buying the stamps I need to send the letter, but I'll get that taken care of today.
Pics: Next week for sure! I forgot again this week....sorry!
So, let's see, what's happened this week. Just a brief rundown:
The Tuesday we got back we had English course and that went really well actually. We talked to one of the people we wanted to start working with, and we got to meet with him on Friday. He's been having some personal problems, and we felt inspired to share with him the talk from President Uchtdorf, "Of Regrets and Resolutions", and he enjoyed the talk. We're going to be scheduling an appointment with him soon and share with him the Plan of Salvation, as he expressed interest in this.
On Wednesday, we met with Issac and explained the Restoration again, and he understood it this time, and promised us that he would pray to know the truthfulness of our message. After that, we learned that the Sorelle (Sister Missionaries) were coming and then we did some unplanned service with Fratello Chines getting their house a little ready.
On Thursday the sorelle came into the city, and like always, the ward loved them. The sorelle here are pretty cool, and I think we'll work together all right. I haven't had problems working with any sister yet, so I'm not worried about it.
On Saturday we had a full day. In the morning we met with Barbera, an investigator and talked a little about the Plan of Salvation, and recommitted him to coming to church. We've been meeting with him for a while now, and he still hasn't come. We're wondering if something is holding him back. We're going to try and build his faith in another aspect of the Gospel and hope that works.
We taught Valentina about families, and committed her to asking her mother to come to church. She didn't, but the mom did say that if she had time to prepare she would, which is a good sign.
Then we taught Rosa, and we talked about the Book of Mormon and praying to know if it's true. It was a fantastic lesson! Rosa read the Book of Mormon and came to church this week. Her progress is astoudning. We'll be teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ this week, and I feel that she could easily have a baptismal date.
Okay, so that's been my week. We have specialized training on Friday, so I'll let you know how that goes. Hopefully all works well.
Next week, with a longer email!
