August 7th, 2013

Well another week come and gone here in Verona. It's getting so hot here! We've been told that August is the hottest time of the year. I'm pretty sure that it gets up above 100° F at least once a day here and humidity makes things very sweaty. But! All is well here! The work is still moving along!

Last week for P-Day, we went to the Basilica of San Zeno here in Verona. It was a really cool building! Lots of old paintings on the walls and the doors had brass or bronze images of a bunch of different Bible scenes. I was really surprised to see how big and spacious it was inside. There are lots of old buildings and churches like that here.

So a few weeks ago, my companion and I were passing by a less active member. While we were waiting for an answer to the door, I noticed a man in his car, stopped at a stoplight, looking at us kinda funny. I waved at him and he shouted back, "Siete Mormoni (Are you guys Mormons)?" I answered back, "Sì!" By then, Anziano Lovett turned around to see who I was talking to. The man asked if we had an English class and we told him that we did. Anziano Lovett then ran across the street and gave him the information about our English class. The next week at English class, he showed up with his fiance. They are super nice! The following week after English class (we always share a spiritual thought at the end) the woman came up to us and expressed that they would like to learn more about our church and that they would like to attend church. They were talking to the right people! We didn't see them for a couple of weeks, but they came last night. We were able to talk to them some more about setting up an appointment and we will be seeing them tonight! We are super excited! English class miracles!!

Well that's all folks! Love you all!

Ciao!!
