Ciao tutti!
Lots to report
this week. So I'll just get started.
On sunday we
had 5 investigators in church! It was a miracle! 3 of them were
some african investigators that we found a couple of weeks ago. The other
two were an investigator and his friend who I will talk about in a minute.
Also on sunday,
I met a returned missionary who served in Sweden. He was just visiting
our ward because he has some family there. He saw my name and recognized
it right away as Scandinavian. He told my how to pronounce it (way to
difficult to repeat) and told me what it means. He said that Petter means
Peter...obviously...and Borg means city or town. So my name would mean
town of Peter. What the?! Like Peter the Apostle?
Legit!! Another thing he told me was that there are lots of Petterborgs
in Norway and Sweden and that almost everybody speaks English there.
Definetly will have to go there to do some Family History after the mission!!
Last week, one
of our investigators talked about a friend that he had given our number
to. His friend, Max, called us the next day and we set up an
appointment. In the first lesson, he told us how he had been an alcoholic
for most of his life. In the last years, he has stopped with Alcoholics
Anonymous and really tried looking for a religious track. He has tried
Evangelists and Jehova's Witnesses but says that neither one of them made him
feel right. We talked about The Book of Mormon and how one could
understand more deeply the power of the Atonement by reading and studying it's
pages. Max came to church on sunday and really liked it. This may
be our next big investigator.
We spent
another P Day in Venice...yeah no biggy. Really fun!
