Okay so, let's start with what's going on at home:
Dad: I tend to do a lot of cooking, but it's just super simple pastas, that's all I really know how to make, but besides that, yeah. Sometimes I make banana bread, but that's a rare thing.
Anziano Stamps and I get along rather well. We're both easy going guys, and we share a lot of the same interests, and were both smart so that makes for some fun conversations. Anyways, we're good and I am glad he's my companion.
Mom: Thanks for the updates. I'm glad that you had another good weekend in the house. I don't think I'll recognize it when I get home, that's going to be fun.
Four of us are going to be skyping in Ragusa, so we'll see what happens. I did send Grandma Eads the postcards, I just hope they make it in time. We shall see. I'm not overtly missing you guys, just a little tired. Okay, since I'm honest, I'm really tired. I fall asleep during my nightly prayers a lot, but I always wake up and finish them. That's really about the only difference in my life right now. I'm beat! But I frickin' love it! Love serving the Lord and the people.
It's okay to be blunt Mom. Kendra needs that bluntness to help her out. We'll see if things go the way they should for her.
Both: For Mother's Day, I'll let you know hopefully soon. I just talked to the others and they said that they'll get things figured out. I'm pretty good for whenever works for you guys, although I probably won't make you all get up so early in the morning. I'll talk with them soon and see what happens. You may hear from me again soon about time and date.
Well, this week was rather enjoyable in that we saw some miracles, and yet at the same time it was a bit of a disappointment in that things just didn't seem to work out in some regards.
We managed to get our deep cleaning done, and we were very proud that the house was clean. We then had a pranzo appointment with Valentina and some of her friends, who asked questions about the Gospel, mainly about what the differences were between our church and their church (catholic). We answered and talked a little about the Restoration. We then had DDM.
After that we had P-Day. We tired to schedule an appointment with Giacomo, but his situation in regards to paying for his house has become very difficult, and he has become very busy. Unfortunately, that translates as to a we don't know when we'll be able to see him again. We plan on staying in contact, and helping him out as much as we can. He did make it to church though, so that is a good sign.
We also met up with Rosa again this week with Carmelo (her member boyfriend) and his son. We decided to take Elder Kearon's advice and teach the children, and it seemed to work out really well. She opened up and told us that she was getting answers to her prayers. That was pretty dang cool. We finally figured out the way to teach her without her flipping out. We're going to do this again some other time this week with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and see what happens.
We met with Issac Addo, our new convert as well, and talked to him about the Priesthood, as he is preparing to receive the Aaronic Priesthood. He understood it, and promised that he would prepare himself to recieve this gift. We also talked about the Priesthood in church on Sunday in Gospel principles, and he really showed how much he understood. He was very detailed in answering questions.
We taught the Marina Bunch ( our group of Africans in the Marina di Ragusa) and we read the scriptures with them so that they would start understanding a little. They, unfortunately had something to do at the camp on Sunday and were not able to come to church. We did have to move their date to the 31st of May, but they accepted that, and said they would have no problem coming to church after this Sunday. I really hope so.
We also taught a less active family, the More family this week about Patriarchal blessings, as the wife attended the Gospel principles lesson and wanted to know more about patriarchs. They were interested and really wanted to come to church and start getting ready for that blessings.
Well, that's how our work has been. This week we feel that if we can meet with Giacomo or Rosa, we'll be giving a baptismal date to them soon. At the very least we want to help them start thinking a little more about baptism and what it means to be a member of the Church of Christ.
We're also going to be talking to some Corso students who wanted to learn about the Church and asked for a free copy of the Book of Mormon. Hopefully things work out there.
Well, that's how things are going here in the area. Next week, love you guys!
