Last week i said that we were going to have a baptism with a lady named Antonella, born and raised in Italy, so shes italian. As the week went on, Satan threw incredible problems at her that really tested her faith, on Wednesday of last week, she called us crying saying she couldnt be baptised, reason being, is that a man in Germany asked her to marry him that day, so, we met with her and her concern was the law of chastity, she wasnt sure weather she would be able to keep it or not. So we went and met her that night and gave her a blessing, she was fine, then on thursday, she had a huge fine on her car, and then she wrecked her car and just terrible things, then on thursday night, she had her interview for baptism and she passed. On Saturday, the day of her baptism, we got a call at 5;45am, she was crying again, satan got to her and my companion talked to her for about an hour and then all was well. Saturday night, she was baptised into the Church or Jesus Christ. It was incredible! On Sunday, she received the Holy Ghost.

Other miracles from this week include praying for new investigators, one experinece: me and my comp went out trackting, and we decided to take a route we normally dont, and a lady came from behind and she wants to talk about our religeon, apparantly, se met with the missionaries a few years back and wants to meet w/ us again. Another example of miracles include prayer, i have a strong testimony that God listens to us always, and he wants to talk with us, all we need to do is shut our mouth, open our ears and open our hearts. So, the example is this: we were at a members house on sunday night for dinner, her husband is not a member and he was out of town, Sorella (sister) Petrolini was worried about her husband becasue he didnt pick up his phone, so she asked if we could pray, we did, we got on our knees, and she asked if i could pray... 3 seconds after i closed, the phone rang... it was her husband. God lives, he hears our prayers and he wants to help us. By the way, the food she made was incredible, quite possible one of the best meals i've ever had. In italy, every meal has 4 courses. The first is pasta, second is meat, third is dessert, and fouth is fruit... I got a huge serving of pasta so i was full after pasta, then she piled lamb meat on my plate so i finished that then she put more on the plate, it was rediculous, well, i found a way to throw it all down, then desert and grapes, i came out of that house almost 5 pounds heavier, it was crazy, but good.

And obviously today is P-day, but my companion ran out of money so we cant go anywhere, which is fine, but next week we'll go to Rome and probably go to the colloseum, hard rock cafe, vatican, who knows. But p-days really are tough for me, becasue i just want to go and teach our investigators but i cant, we're not supposed to. We have 2 investigators really close to baptism, and 3 others who are progressing, so we've got some work to do. One of the best things members can do for the missionaries is give out referrals, becasue we are struggling with them right now, referrals make finding so much easier. we'll the church is true, its incredible, i'm so excited to continue on, and the weather's better now so that always makes things better. Gotta go, God bless,
Love, Anziano Lane
