It's been a good
week!
Tuesday we showed
the Easter video to all 50 or so English Course students, it was a pretty
massive crowd. It's not easy to control or teach these swaths of Italians who
all love to be the one talking, but I really have come to love it. It was honestly a miracle that they could sit
still for the spiritual thought, but it seemed to go well and the sisters
harvested some appointments from it.
Samuel doesn't have
his documents, which means no baptism for him yet. But he is making some great progress. He says
he feels at home here thanks to the love people show him. Our ward has dominated the fellowshipping
game. He even got a ride to church from
an old Italian man who had never met him.
And one of our other Africans lived just 20 kilometers away from him in
Nigeria so they hit it off well. But he
also feels the Spirit when we teach and has been reading the Book of
Mormon!
Our investigator Mario
is a former professional tennis player whose net worth is probably greater than
all the other investigators that I've ever had combined. During a recent lesson
he asked us what the Church’s stance was on him buying the car he wanted which
cost a crud ton of money. Not having had
that problem before, I didn't really know what to say.
Easter was great!
Because of the time change that had just happened in Italy, right as I was
reading Alma 7 during a bit of study before church, the sun came up over the
apartment behind us and lit up and warmed up the room really nicely. Church was
awesome, several of our investigators came.
Unfortunately, like always we were the most popular people there. My companion had to leave priesthood meeting
where he was translating to come with me as I played the piano for a song the
primary kids were learning, complete with the signs "go",
"stop", and "slow".
Speaking of kids, the
primary Easter missionary activity happened on Saturday. The sisters did
most of the planning, but as my dad would say, they should have just known that
the kids' favorite part would be "running around like banshees". I
ran around with them and had a blast. A lady who invited TWO families to
come... is inactive. That's right; if she can do missionary work, YOU CAN
TOO!

Missionaries at the Easter party.
Notice the photobomb by the cute girl in the back.
Are we finding part member families
or is this chemistry class?
in fact, be doing an egg hunt at the end of the
activity.
