Good and bad things
about doing p-day early - bad: I have zero emails from anyone! good: I can
catch up on all my emails I need to respond to! Hahaha. So, we had to
switch p-day, because we were just getting lessons fortomorrow. So, here I am,
on a Tuesday. What's up? Haha.
Well, this week, it's
been goood :) I think/hope the work is gonna start picking up here in Siena! Me
and Sorella Seare are really excited! :) So, I've realized that less-active
work is some of my favorite missionary work to do! I dunno why, but back
at Collegno, and also here, I just love working with the less actives. So, OP,
just you wait till I get home! :) Haha. We went to go see a less active
this past Sunday, and she was so sweet, she's just had a lot of problems
happen in the last few years, and is having a hard time getting by. She
said she wants to come back to church, but not just to fill a seat, but to
be there because she feels the spirit, feels like she needs to be there. We
told her to pray for that desire to come to church this sunday,
and we told her we would pray every day for her to have the desire to
come to church (specifically this sunday), so we'll just keep
praying! :)
Then, we also stopped
by a referral, and she's wonderful! She has an adorable little beautiful
family, and told us we could come back! True story: I literally
accidentally let our LDM (BOM) there, with a Family: A Proclamation to the
World. I had brought it to give to them, but I forgot
to give it to them, but turns out I forgot a lot of stuff! I dunno
how I forgot it, cause I carry the LDM basically everywhere I go...
it's like putting on my shoes, or something. It's weird when I don't
have it in my hand. Anyway, I set it down on their counter, while the mom
showed us the view, and completely forgot it was there! Haha... maybe
something will come out of that! :)
Then yesterday, oh, it
was great! Our member present lesson (we don't have a lot of those, by the
way - so, a member present lesson was already a miracle!)! We have an
investigator who is from China who has been seeing the missionaries for a
good while (almost a year), but still struggles with believing Joseph Smith's
account - he says it's like a fairy tail, not real. So, we decided to take a
different route with him, and talk to him about Christ, and see his thoughts/feelings
about Christ. And, we also had one of our members with us, who's a recent
convert of 3-4 years, who's from China! I looove him, he's the best! So, they
were able to talk, and relate, not having the Christian background... it was
amazing having our member there! He got through to him in ways we couldn't.
Everything isn't picture perfect now, but we're making progress! Yay!
:)
Well, this week I
gotta keep short. I was trying to respond to other emails, then it came time to
write this email, and I didn't have much time left!
Give Harkers Island my
love - Aunt Phyllis is at peace now, and we have the knowledge of the Plan
of Salvation :)
Oh, and, I have no
idea what we're doing for Mothers Day skype calls - they'll tell us on
Thursday, I assume.
So, my comp has to
call her family at a certain time, 4pm our time, which is 8am their
time... aka 10am y'alls time. Will y'all be in the middle of church?
Well, I maybe have to call in the middle of church. Or, if we can get
permission to do skype twice, but a little later, I might call around 12noon?
I have no idea. So, just expect a morning/afternoon call from me
(isn't Mothers Day this Sunday?) Just cause, no one has mentioned
anything about it to us, so I really have no idea. But, we have a
training meeting on Thursday, so they'll inform us then. Haha.
Okay, vi voglio bene!
