SO. First. Last Wednesday, right after email, we went to a service project that was pretty far away, and upon coming home, we decided to clean up super quick so we could go back outside and pass by a contact, because they had told me in the past that wednesday nights were the best for them. So, we got over there, and they were home! (already a miracle because the husband is a Military Police, and has crazy work hours) So, seeing as we hadn't gotten to teach them yet, we just expected to pass by for 2 min, and set up an appointment or something, but they had just finished dinner, and so they had plenty of time. The wife (Serena) was super elect! She had read the Plan of Salvation pamphlet we had left, and she had looked on the website a bit, so she had already built up a fair amount of questions, and she was sincerely interested in what it would mean for her if this message really is true! So now tonight we have another lesson with them!
Friday (not thursday) we had Thanksgiving. We ate at the Bressan's house. The only catch, was we ended up buying and making (nearly) everything! It was a little stressful, but with the help of Micol (their oldest daughter, soon to get married in Washington State) it went very smoothly! We made mashed potatoes, stuffing, apple pie, homemade rolls, and we had 3 chickens instead of a turkey. Turkey takes too long. But it was super good, and everyone loved it! So, yeah! Success!
Another cool miracle, was from English Class. We had to take over English class this week because the usual teacher was out of town. So we got to the church early to set up, but we weren't the only ones there early. Two of the newer students were also there, even though the class didn't start for another 20 min. side note: recently we've been recognizing that a lot of our english class students could even be interested in the Gospel, we were just having some difficulty moving from teaching them english, to teaching them the Gospel. So first thing they ask us is about coffee. They had heard about some of our beliefs, and they wanted to know what the real story was. They had a lot of questions! And by their comments, we even were able to find out that they had been talking a lot about our church in the last couple days!! So, from there it was really easy to ask if they wanted to learn more (which they did) and to set up an appointment! Go english class!
Another english class success, there's a family that's been very faithful in coming to english class, and they've invited us over for dinner, to have a sort of late thanksgiving! And they are also super great people, so I'm sure they'll be open to the Gospel!!!
Well, I'm really excited for these next couple weeks! I'll definitely have a good update for you all next week! vi voglio tutti un sacco di bene!!
