This week we taught one of the most
jaw-dropping lessons ever to Michele from English course. On Tuesday night he
literally said that one of our spiritual thoughts had saved his marriage, and he
wanted to learn more about the Book of Mormon. It was as if we were role-playing;
everything he said was so perfect. "Oh, so these must have been the other
sheep Jesus was talking about" and he even asked if he could serve a
mission to talk about the Church to others. Honestly I've never seen someone quite like
that.
Samuel... By the way, he's actually well over half way done with the Book of Mormon and last week he promised to try to live the Word of Wisdom. We showed him "The Restoration". The Spirit was so strong that I thought to myself "there is a zero percent chance that he can deny this is real after this experience". He agreed like I thought, but isn't sure this is the only true church. It is really hard for him to turn away from his family tradition. Then on Saturday we jumped out of the plane by giving him a baptismal date, which he meekly (and a bit weakly) accepted.
The miracles have just been lining up. Saturday the elders quorum is going to Trani to visit five "investigators" that a sister there wants to get taught. If all goes well, we'll come into the picture soon. We have been talking with members about how we want real names of people to work with. Sunday, a friend of the bishop's wife came to church. She was surprised that she is allowed to take the sacrament here because she is divorced. She had to leave immediately, but after we helped out with primary singing time, sister V told us: "her name is TIZIANA. Please pray for TIZIANA that her heart will be open to the message." Perfect!
We had a super good exchange with the assistants yesterday. And tonight before zone conference we will have eight missionaries at our house, the majority of which have not showered since calcio today... Yikes!
Tons of miracles this week!
