Ciao cari!
Sorry for the delayed email for last week. I logged out and forgot to send it. So you get two emails this week.
So it's happening. I am leaving my second city and I'm on to my third. I am going to a city called Trieste. For those of you who don't know, I am currently on the west coast of Italy. Trieste is on the East coast of Italy. Clear on the other side of the country!! That's far away!! But I have heard that it is a very pretty city and the members are great. I'm excited to go.
Yesterday, Anziano Pinnock and I went to visit a new investigator that we found on scambio. We taught the first lesson and everything went fine. When it came time to give the baptismal invite, we did it. Like most Italians, he told us that he had already been baptized into the Catholic church. We explained the priesthood again. He asked us, "So my baptism isn't valid". I was a little worried about what would happen after we answered. We answered boldly, "Yes, it's invalid". He was actually pretty calm about it. He said, "Va bene." And that was it. We set a date for the first Saturday in June.
Well I'm leaving Toscana tomorrow. We've had a lot of good p days here...but I think Venice is in my next zone...no promises but I guess we'll see.
Love you all! Ciao!
