A Way of Life! June 6, 2012

Whew!! Life has been super crazy in these last couple days, but most of it has been for the better! My new companion, Anz Eveson, is a stud. He knows very well everything that preach my gospel, and the rule book says, and is thus helping me become a much more obedient missionary, and for that I am very grateful.

Update real quick on the Badalucco family (Nury and Davide): We had a lesson with them on saturday, but with the craziness of making them american hamburgers it was hard to make much progress. But we have a lesson planned with them tomorrow night in the which we want to help them choose a date for baptism!

Marius (Gelataio guy) is also a super stud! We have yet to teach him, but we have a lesson with him tonight.

Hmm.. There's actually not a lot to write about investigators this week... Although we have seen miracles every day. The most common miracle we saw was how much people are changing in response to being taught about the gospel, even if we are teaching them on the streets or in the parks. One lady in specific was with her husband and 5 month old baby, and didn't even want to listen to us, but her curious husband let us go ahead and talk. At the end though, we wanted to leave them with a prayer, which the husband didn't think was necessary. But, Giulia (the wife) by now was much more interested than her husband and insisted with her husband that we say a prayer before we leave.

People are accepting the gospel. Today. The time for harvesting (as the scriptures say) is come. And I am so grateful to be able to be a part of it here in Pavia!!!!

I love you all. And I wish that you all would keep in mind the importance of this gospel and how it is meant to be a way of life. If you want to read a chapter that demonstrates this, read 3 Nephi 12. It's life changing!!

Vi voglio tutti un sacco di bene! And hopefully next week I'll be able to organize my email time better to be able to write more about the week. Until then, take care!!
