Hey family!
Okay, so I am still loving it here in Pozzuoli, it is super awesome! We actually live in Napoli in an area called Fuori Grotta, and it is where the Napoli soccer stadium is, it is actually a 5 min. walk from our house, and they are very good and their fans are very crazy!! Needless to say about every other night when we go to bed it is very loud!!
Monday night we went to the Lamagna families house and had a sweet family home evening with them, and talked about ways we can share the Gospel with our friends, they fed us a ton of cookies. Tuesday we had our district meeting, but nobody had keys to the church in Napoli so we used an investigators house! haha She was working but just gave us the keys!! Then we went over to Sorella Cozzi's house for lunch, and it was Delicious, a lot of food, but really good! And that night we had english course.
Wednesday, all morning we had finding, and had to eat lunch really fast because we had to catch a bus to go out to Mondragone (which is like half way to Rome!) to go see a member. And when we got out there, he would not respond to our calls!! Luckily we had an investigator out close to that area and were able to meet with him, and it ended up being a huge miracle because he was having a hard time and we got to set a new baptismal date with him! Then we had to rush to the central station in Napoli because I was supposed to go down to Castellammare, but of course there was a strike, so we couldn't go! haha
So Thursday morning that was the first thing Anziano Malan (my zone leader companion) and I did. It was super awesome, in the morning we did street contacting and it was super successful, then in the afternoon we got to go teach an investigator in Pompei!! Yep, that Pompei!!! It was sooo cool, got the chance to see a ton of cool things just walking to the lesson! Then we did english course, and it is fun to have new people in your english course! haha
The highlight from Friday was our lesson with our new investigator Fidellio!! He is Italian, has a car, and a job!!! He is about 30 and just super religious. And we found out he has already read all of first Nephi and understands really well and wants more than anything to receive an answer!! So that makes us really happy because we just got to bear testimony and feel the spirit super strong when we teach him. That evening we had dinner with the Voelker family, they are the ones who have already reserved us for Christmas!! They are super cool, and the husband really wants to take us to a soccer game!!
Saturday morning we met with Simone, who is a young college student we met, it went pretty well and we are hoping we can see him again. Then after that it was the day of the bidoni, which is what we say when people don't show up to lessons, and we got 4 that afternoon! haha Church was awesome of course, and we ate lunch with the Grofolo family afterwards, it was nice because it was short and sweet (which normally doesn't happen here!) haha Then we went out to teach Samuel, who has a baptismal date for December 7th. He was having a really bad day and was sick and didn't really want to meet at first, but since we had come so far I was pretty persistent!
We finally got to teach him and just read the Book of Mormon with him, but the spirit was so strong and we talked about the priesthood and how we have that restored priesthood power. He then asked if I would give him a blessing, the spirit was incredibly strong and it was a really cool experience!! And today we have just been running around doing a little of everything, we just had to translate institute and we are about to go teach 3 guys we met the other day, should be awesome!!! Love y'all so much and hope everyone is as happy as I am!!!
Love,
Anziano Bird
