Hey guys,

not too much happened this week, but, MArgherita was baptized, and that was incredible! It was such a good day.

She has a really cool soncersion story, this is how it goes...

So 3 months ago, i was with Anziano Pettry and we were passing by an inactive member, but, she wasnt home, so, we decided to knock the doors of everyone in the apartment building. When we arrived at the last door, an older lady answered and we talked about teh book of mormon. She liked it and we told her we wanted to give her one, but, she was going to the funeral of her brother, so, she said to come by another time. About a month and a half later, we went by her house and whe was sick, so the next week we went by and she let us in with one of our members. How special of a lesson we had that day. Margherita just laid it on us. Everything negative that had happened in her life, we knew about it. About her husband cheating on her last year and how a group of kids killed her dad years ago and how she doesn't have a job, you name, we got everything. It really hurt me haveing to listen to all of that, but, i knew that if anyone at this time could help her, it was God. And we told her that, we explained that She would have the peace and happiness brought back to her life. In the next few lessons, we saw dramatic changes in her life. As she bore her testimony to us of the peace she had felt we almost wanted to cry with her. She was the happyiest lady in the world. She was so excited for ehr baptism. Then we had the baptismal interview and after, the district leader said, She's not ready, she's extreemly ready, and i knew it. So, she was baptized on sunday, exactly 1 month after we started teaching her. Then on monday, we went to teach her and she said, i had a dream yesterday, i found myself back in the baptismal font, and i looked up to see who was baptisng me, and it was the Lord. Then she started crying, and she just explained how happy she was and the spirit was so strong.

Then, as we were putting away our portable baptismal font yesterday (we had to syphen it, becasue we dont have a pump) we decided it was taking too long, so we tried to drag it outside and one of the sides of the font caved in and we flooded the church, well, not all of it, but, one of the rooms, and we spent about an hour moping it up, not fun.

I also did an exchange with one of the missionaries from my zone, and it went really well.
Really nothing else sticks out from this week, so, i'll just close there. But, Crotone is growing, the Lord is a God of miracles. It's amazing to see what he can really do for you if you jsut do what he says. Life's really simple, people make it too complicated at times. Like in 2 Nefi 2:25 says, we're here to be happy. If we're not, we're doing something wrong, and i really like what we read in Mosiah 2:22, it basically says that the ONLY thing that God requires of us it to keep his cammandments, then, if we do this, we will prosper.

ciao ciao, love you all,
Anziano Lane
