Alrighty, its been a pretty weird week. I'll first start out by talking about Caterina and Luca... Caterina's been doing really good and she just hit the ground running when she got baptized, however, this week, we got news from Luca, and it wasn't good, he told us that he hates the church, the Joseph Smith wasn't a profet and that the book of Mormon comes from the adversary and a bunch of bad stuff, he said that the word of wisdom is false and that before he baptized Caterina that he had still been using drugs and he baptized her unworthily and he lied to Bishop during the interview for the baptism. So, pretty bad, and he convinced Caterina to fall away as well, and from what we knew as of saturday, they were long gone from the church. Then me and my companion did a fast for them and monday we got word from Caterina that she prayed and read a few scriptures and the spirit told her that this church is the true church of Jesus Christ, and she is back!!! Man i am pumped!! So, that was good. Also on Monday, me and the District Leader went to Pasquale and Angela's house and he interivewed them for baptism and the did good, the only problem is Pasquale is still smoking 2 cigarettes a day and he needs to be cleared by the baptism. He told us that he would try to stop on tuesday and by the baptism for sure he would be done with smoking, so, we're praying for him and Angela so that they can be ready for their day on Saturday. They are incredible, their spirits are so strong and they really are ready for their day. I love them so much. We also got a few referrals from the mission office and the assistants, so, we're excited about that. Not much else is going on over here, we're doing a ton of finding and just working. Yesterday we saw 4 jets fly above us that were going to Libya, they left from italy apparantly. Today, we're going to San Giovanni Rotondo, which is where Padre Pio is. He died about 50 years ago, i think, and he's some false profet that the catholics beleive in. Its really funny, btw, Catholics beleive in the bible and the bible says clearly, like 10 times, beware of false profets in the last days, who will work might works, but, apparantly, they accepted him and according to them, he paid the price of 1/3 of our sins, while Christ another 1/3 and Mary the other 1/3... (Only in Italy.. haha) well, we'll go check that out today. Ciao tutti, Vi voglio un sacco di bene, buona settimana. from your Anziano

ReplyDeleteone of these is like the picture denver took on his mission when he was cooking the sausage, i thought i would make one too. then anohter is of the tracks from the 4 jets going to Libya, the other one is funny, me and anziano packer have these cleaning gloves and we filled them up with water and froze them, i filled mine up a too much. the fourth was awesome, on saturday, we went to a ward party for a few minutes, and they offered us a bunch of dessert, but, we already started our fast, so they gave us all the dessert and we took it home and when we broke the fast on sunday, thats what we ate. Sorry mom, i normally dont eat that bad, and we only ate 1/2 of it.
