Ciao tutti!
Lots to report this week. I'm excited to tell you about my past week. But first I wanted to let you all know that today marks my 6 months left...scary stuff. But lots of time left and lots of people to baptize still!
Drum roll please! Last week we were able to teach 21 lessons!! It took a lot of focus and hard work. Because we weren't able set appointments with many of our investigators, we ended up teaching many of our lessons on the street with people we would stop. Our hard work lead us to find 6 new investigators!!
Our hard work and focus lead to other miracles as well. Perhaps the biggest miracle was that we set a baptismal date with our investigator Matteo. In our lesson with him on wednesday, I told him how he's got a lot of beautiful things coming up. He is having a baby in December and they want to get married before that. I told him him that it would be amazing to add to those events a baptism. He accepted. The only problem we have now is that he has to find a way to come to church. He always has to work. We invited him to pray for a miracle that he would be able to come to church. We told him that if he has the true desire to come to church, God would open up the way for a miracle. So this week we prayed really hard for this miracle. This sunday I was talking to his girlfriend and she said he has been praying hard. Guess what? He can't come to church next week but the week after that, he's going to be completely free to come to church! Miracle! She also told me that they are planning to be married on the 24th of November...his baptism will follow shortly after on the 29th.
Well that's a lot. Needless to say, things are going well here. I love you all! Ciao!
