hey hey hey!
haha umm. Anyways. This week has been crazy. We've been trying this year to really focus on the apostolic promise of teaching 20 lessons continuously which will lead to double the baptisms, and this last week was the first week in our mission's history when an entire zone (9 or 10
companionships) all got at least 20 lessons. And it was our zone of Milano. It was pretty exciting! And now we're going for it again and for the rest of the transfer, "leading the mission" as President Wolfgramm said. Super cool side note about that, is the other district leader (we only have two districts right now in Milano) is my home boy Anz Scheurn, and one of our zone leaders is My MTC comp, Anz Webb! So, they've been super key to making that happen this last week.
Umm update on Nury and Davide really quick. They're still super awesome. Davide just has a hard time waking up to get to church. Saturday for work he works from Friday night at 11pm till sat at 1pm to make double the bread for sunday, but then with keeping track of the kids when he gets home, he's super tired on sunday. But we have a lesson with them tomorrow, and I got some inspiration from one of our members to try sacrificing something with Davide. Cioè, I'm going to give up taking naps if he'll wake up to come to church. This member said that it really helped him (his missionaries gave up fruit juices and soda until he could give up alcohol) so I'm hoping it'll work here as well.
We've been seeing a lot of miracles every day though, and it's super exciting. We set a baptismal date with a man named Maurizio that we just met on Monday! He's going to be baptized on the 7th of July, and he's a stud! He reads all the pamphlets we give him, and then when we go to teach him he just soaks it all in! And he's italian!!
We also have several others that we will be seeing this week again, like Marius from the gelateria, Lamin, Omar, and hopefully we'll run into our Dutch friend from S. America Carlos who is super solid! Only he didn't know his phone number, nor did he have his phone on him.... But! We know more or less where he lives, and he has our number. He
accepted baptism, and wants to learn more, we just need to pray.
Well, I may have to figure out a way to record this part of my emails before hand and email it or something, because this is not enough time. Mom, how would you feel about transcribing my handwriting? I feel like I've tried this before, but I don't remember how it went. We'll see.
I love you all! And I honestly do pray for each of you every night, by name. Take care, and remember what matters most!
