Hello again from Italy!
Well the work is having a slow start from last week's holiday, but we're excited to hit it hard this next week! Everyone should be coming back to town and be ready to hear our message.
So in the Utah/Idaho area we have what is called "Temple Hopping". It's where you go and try to see a bunch of different temples in Utah within a single area. However there are not any temples in Italy (yet) but there are lots of old Catholic churches! Especially here in Verona! So last week for P Day we did some "Church Hopping". We went and saw about four different churches here in Verona. All of them are very ornate and beautiful...and kinda creepy at the same time. One of the churches that we went to was the Duomo of Verona. They were having some sort of mass going on there. We watched for a bit out of curiosity but we decided it would better if we just left...
I mentioned how this week kinda slowed down as far as finding people because of the holiday. However, it was our best week for getting new investigators! We got four new investigators this week! Pretty stinkin cool! I would like to tell you about 3 of them...because they're a family. A couple of weeks ago we met a boy in a park. He stopped us and asked us if we were American in English. We told him we were and we stopped to talk to him for a bit. He told us that he was born in the United States and that he had been living here in Italy for most of his life with his grandma, his mom, and his two sisters. About a week later, we saw him walking down the street and we stopped to talk to him. He invited us to his house for a drink of water. We visited with the whole family for a bit and set up a time when we could come back and talk about our message. Our first lesson was so awesome and the whole family has a desire to read The Book of Mormon and learn more about our church. Because there is not a man in the house, we will have to pass them to the Sorelle but they are such an awesome Italian/American family and we're excited to see their progress.
Well gotta get back to work! Love you all as always! Ciao!
