Well, guess what....I officially get to
speak Italian again! Wow, is it amazing. I did get the Italian to
train and her name is Hermana Volpe. My word has the Lord blessed me.
She is incredible. We are having such a good time together. We speak
Spanish in the streets and for missionary things, but other than that, we
go back and forth between Italian and English because she really wants to
learn English. It´s super cool though because any time she has a question or
doesn´t know a word, she speaks to me in Italian and we go from there.
I´m so blessed to have her. She is incredible. And the cool thing is
that she lives about 20 or 30 minutes from where I lived in Italy. I
have been to her city and we even know one person in common. It is just
so stinking cool to have her.
So this week with her has been great. We started off
going to the Cruz family´s house and it was a great lesson. They are
inactive and don´t want to come back, but they usually let us stop by
once in a while to talk. Well, most of the time while sharing a
spiritual message, they are looking around not paying too much
attention, especially the dad. Well this time, we shared a message on
the Restoration and when we said the First Vision, their eyes became
completely locked on us. It was so cool! The Spirit just filled the
room. We then asked them if they had testimonies of Joseph Smith and
they all said that they knew he was a prophet. It was definitely the
best lesson we have had with them and we saw some real progress. I keep on
saying it, but there is just so much power in the First Vision. I love
giving it because it is guaranteed that the Spirit will enter the room.
Hermana Volpe can cook like a champ so we made this
homemade bread for Manolo´s birthday and surprised him with it. We are
still working with him on coming back to church and trusting in the Lord
and His plan for him. We have a lesson with him tonight and have a good
one planned so we are hoping for the best.
Let´s see other than that, everything is going
great. We are loving it here and loving the crazy Ward that we are in.
They are all awesome. Thank you all for everything and hope you have a
great week. Love you!
