Ciao tutti!
Just keeping it real in Trieste! On monday we had a really great Zone Training Meeting. The words that the zone leaders shared were truely inspiring. One quote that I like was "A rising tide lifts all ships". When we do our best and are concentrated on what's important, other people see that example and automatically start being better themselves without knowing. My challenge to you this week, be the rising tide! Lift those ships around you!
This week we are trying hard for 21 lessons. We have been struggling to get appointments with people so we have had to resort to our own efforts to teach lessons on the street. Monday we had a goal of 3 lessons. We got to the end of the day and we only had two. We were just getting off the bus and we had a bel pezzo di strada before we got home so me and Anziano Santiago decided to say a prayer to ask Heavenly Father to help us find someone to teach before we got home. We began stopping people and no one would listen at first but eventually we stopped a woman who let us talk about Jesus Christ and read a scripture from The Book of Mormon. We said a prayer with her and we reached our goal! So that was great but then last night we were in the same situation. But we needed two more lessons to reach our goal of four lessons. On our walk home we were able to stop and teach 3 people within a time period of 15 minutes. Two of them gave us their number. When you set goals, ask the Lord for help, and go to work, the Lord will always help.
Well that email is long enough! Gotta run! Love you all! Ciao!
