January 15, 2014

Well we started another transfer this week.  Thus, begins transfer 6!  Bring it on!  I'm still here in Livorno for at least another 6 weeks.

Last P Day we made another trip to Firenze.  This time we went to the Ufizzi.  It was really cool.  Did I ever talk about our last trip to Florence?  I can't remember if I did...so I'll tell you anyway.  We saw Ponte Vecchio, we climbed the bell tower and dome of the Duomo, and we went and saw the statue of David.  It was all super cool!  There's so much to see in Firenze.  We'll probably make another trip, but our next target is Siena.

This week, we had one of our beloved investigators come back from Australia.  He's been there for about a month and we are so happy to have him back.  Before he left, we were very close to setting a baptismal date.  He just had a couple more obstacles to jump.  On our first meeting after his return, we were dead set on getting that date.  We set up a lesson to talk about faith and setting goals for the new year.  Before we had even started into the lesson, he told us about the things that he has been reading about in The Book of Mormon.  He told us about how he had been reading about faith and how faith brings us to action.  Well that tied in nicely!  It's like he sat down and planned out the lesson with us! We presented our lesson and invited him to be baptized.  He told us that it is a goal for him this year and he really wants to, but he has to fix some things with his family before he can commit to a date.  We're very excited.

Well I love you all very much!  All is well back in the states!  Ciao!
