This week was pretty cool. We are going to be heading to Bari this weekend AGAIN for more things with Sorella Greco permesso. The transfer is already half over. They go by so fast!!! Even faster when you realize sisters only have around 11 transfers total.
We set up a 40 day fast in our branch. Basically for 40 days straight, there is a fast but it is one person each day. The fast is specifically for missionary work, and on the day that they are fasting, we ask them to think about people that they could introduce to us. It just started this last Sunday, and it is awesome.
At self defense class we learned about protecting ourselves against knives. The kind of stuff My Brother would like. Chris, the teacher and almost investigator read the chapters I gave him! We also gave him the talk by Jeffrey R. Holland, called "Io Credo" (in English...I think it's called "Lord I Believe"). It's a great talk about faith. At every class we start, and end with a prayer, and do a short lesson or spiritual thought. It's basically the coolest finding thing ever.
We also went to visit a sister in our ward, who was helping take care of her Father in law who fell. Also...we met this guy, and he is 100 years old. It was cool.
On Sunday, we had pranzo with another sister in our ward, and she invited some of the other sisters, and the Anziani. It was funny, because after a while they were talking about when each one of them has had us over for pranzo, and it started becoming like a competition. Hahaha. I think we are going to be invited over for pranzo even more (NO!!!!! sigh...).
I finally got to see the missionary broadcast! HOLY SMOKES! It was so cool! It had a lot of stuff we have been wanting to do, and now our branch is going to be on board. Woot.
On Monday we did finding by citofono. Basically they have a lot of apartment type housing here, so you ring the buzzer, they ask who you are, and then you go for it, introducing who you are and why you're there. Then someone hopefully lets you in. We were a little sneaky, because the door to this one apartment building was already open...so we just started from the top of one of the wings in the building, and worked our way down. One lady told us to come back the next day, because she didn't have time. We came back, and she had her daughter with her. They were actually really interested in what we were saying about The Book of Mormon. So cool! They said they would like to meet with us again, so as soon as we have a specific date set up, they are new investigators. Woot.
Last night before English class we were supposed to have a lesson with Chris (same Chris as above), but he came late. He had read the chapters we assigned him, and he told us his questions. It was so cool because almost every question he has been thinking about can be answered by the Plan of Salvation. We are excited to teach him this.
I made THE BEST zucchini bread last week...so this week, we were stumped about one of our investigators, so I decided to make banana bread (IT IS SO GOOD). We are going to bring it to her tonight.
One of my other friends/students, Isabelle (Chris’ girlfriend), has been studying and stressing for her exams. She is at the point where she is taking her exit exams and her career basically depends on these. We are also going to bring her some banana bread and a spiritual thought to "help her study." :)
I LOVE YOU ALL! :)
EVERYONE: I hope this week is great for you! Make it count!
Love,
Sorella Worsham
