Well, I don't have too much time to write today, my companion wants to get out of here early so we can go spend a load of money eating at burger king, and then more money to go take a tour through an opera house. Sounds exciting, right?
No, i'm not that bitter about it. COMUNQUE, this week was pretty awesome!
F.llo Romani's new dream was even better. He had a dream that there was this HUGE tree, and two farmers. They noticed that the tree wasn't giving any fruit. Then one farmer said to the other that they need to water it, and give it some time. And then the tree was awesome, and bore fruit and everything. Well, he immediately recognized himself as the tree. And then he said he started thinking to himself, well what does this water represent? What do I need? And he realized it was baptism! But then he also remembered that the farmer said that it also just needs time. SO he's convinced that he just needs some time. When he told us that, I asked him what we could do to help him be ready (I even asked that one in spanish, I was pretty content with myself lol) and he told us that he was already ready! But that he just needs some time, he doesn't want to right now. So naturally, as missionaries, we're frustrated right now.
We also saw Marco and family again, and had a great time! First they treated us to some delicious homemade pizza (which was actually the first pizza I have had made by an italian, and not an egyptian lol) And then he even taught us how to make pizza, and then we taught them a wonderful lesson about the Vision of the Tree of Life. We also gave the two daughters each their own copy of the Book of Mormon, so this lesson served two purposes. First, to get them familiar with reading the Book of Mormon (we read 1Nephi 8:9-34). And then we talked about all the symbolism therein, and also read 2 Nephi 31:17 where we learn that repentance and baptism make the entrance to this path. And then we challenged them to baptism, and they accepted! We don't have a date yet, but they all want and know that they need to be baptized! Whoot! And then the next day they all came to church again, and we saw the two daughters carrying their copies of the Book of Mormon, and it was way touching, and then after church was all over they asked if they could take pictures with us! Haha so half the ward saw that, and they were all smiling, and we were all happy, and it was just great. I love this family, and I do not want to get transferred, but then again, I know that there could be another missionary that's needing a good loving family like this to teach... SOOOO I'll go where He wants me to go.
Muggiò rocks.
Allora, vi voglio tutti un sacco di bene!
