You
all right mates?
Well it has been a cold and rainy
week! Autumn seems to be here to stay.
Our week was all right. Elder Botcha
and I worked very hard, but we were not able to see as much success as hoped
for. We had lots of appointments cancel on us this week, but we were able to
stay busy and stay happy. We tracted a lot and we went to try and find some
less actives a lot. But the Lord still blessed us to stay happy and stay
positive and I am very grateful for that.
Ashwani is doing well. We saw him
this week. We came to his home and he was sitting down watching some Bollywood
film haha. We walked in and it looked so funny – it was a really old one with English
subtitles. The subtitles kept saying "blood for blood, blood for
blood" while some song was going on in Hindi and some guy was walking
toward an empty prison cell. I am not sure what was going on but we turned it
off. We taught him and the spirit was pretty strong. We talked about some of
the goals he had in his life and how he thought he could achieve those goals,
and if living a good clean life would further help him. He agreed that it would
and we taught about Christ and how we can receive blessings. It was very good.
We also got a family referred to us! –
which never happens. A lovely French sister in the ward here referred an
Italian family she used to live with – the Virgelitto family. She was really
nervous about us going over and was worried that they would not be interested,
but we told her we would fast with her and go over the next day. We did and we
met the dad, Vinchenzo. He doesn’t speak English very well, and Elder Botcha
and I don’t speak Italian very well, but I remembered a little bit from being
with Elder Mongelli. We told him we were friends of the sister and we wanted to
talk about God and families. They were really busy but they invited us back
this week. I am really excited for that! and I really pray everything will go
well. They seem like excellent people.
The rest of the week was us trying to
find investigators and teach people through a drizzle of rain every day, but we
had a good time.
I have been studying in the Bible
quite a bit, especially from the Book of Job in the OT. I don’t know why but I
just want to read it. I have liked it so far. I am learning a lot.
Well that’s all I have. This is
a picture of me at a very posh house of a family that live in our ward. I am
trying to look very studious.
Well, I love you all – have a good
week.
