Wow it truly is hard to believe
that December is almost halfway over and Christmas is right around the
corner!! I am excited to be here, even has alittle taste of home with
all the snow! The internet defiantly lied when it said the weather here
was like Southern California! haha But this week was so sick! In many
different ways. First off last P-day did turn out to be incredible!
Saw tons of things and it was my first real P-day of getting out and
seeing a ton of sites. Cant wait for y'all to see pictures. Just wish y'all could have been here to see it! Then Thursday and Friday we did a
scambi (exchanges) and I got an Italian comp. so it was sweet!
Then Friday night we got to head back to Rome because on
Saturday they had a huge service project to clean up and fix up a huge
park area. It was near the temple site so that was cool for those
people to see us helping that community. Another cool thing is last
P-day another companionship went to the Vatican, and they went to the
top, and when the Temple in Rome is done, you will be able to see it
from there! How cool is that?! But the service project was a lot of fun!
The first half of this week the work wasn't great, one we didn't have a
ton of time with being in Rome so much, but then it was back to finding
and one of our investigators that is awesome, Mirella, has 2 houses that
they live in because she is moving, and there was confusion and we went
to the wrong house so we missed that lesson. But on Tuesday we got a
lesson with her. It was one of the most incredible things I have been
apart of. We are really starting to see the miracles here, first of all
she is the one we found after our dinner appointment got cancelled, but
then we didn't get to meet with her for a long time. But she told us yesterday after she met us that first day she just had a feeling she shouldn't smoke anymore, and that night she said a prayer and hasnt
smoked since!! She is one of those people that you feel like you were
called here to find them specifically. And she really opened up during
our lesson and we invited her to be baptized and she really wants too!
He husband is against it right now, but we will see.
Monday was another incredible day! We had 3 lessons! Which
basically matches what we had our first transfer! It is so true if you
are obedient, work hard, and have faith, you will see miracles. Another
interesting thing that happened Tuesday morning, we were doing street
and we came to a park where there was a ton of people, unusual because
it is freezing outside. We were trying to figure out what was going on
when we saw and heard a huge group of people on the road marching and
protesting something. We saw that and the cops starting to close in and
so we figured it wasn't the best place to be, and we heard a huge BOOM
and so we decided it was time to leave right then. haha
After English course yesterday we had the opportunity to be
apart of 2 newish members (that are awesome) receiving the Melchizedek
Priesthood! It was way awesome! Mattia is leaving to go to the M.T.C.
this next week, and we have another who has his papers in, pretty cool.
We re-watched a little movie you watch the first night you get here of a
bunch of pictures missionaries have sent in of the different areas, I
have decided I have to serve in Napoli, Sarracusa or Palermo, Malta, And
Rome! haha I love yall so much and hope yall have an incredible week!
Love,
Anziano Bird
