So we now begin
"Mission Impossible" with Nicola... My fears were confirmed. He was
not built upon the rock of his Redeemer after one lesson with us (should that
be a surprise?) We believe that someone
saw his Book of Mormon and said some bad stuff about us, shaking his desire to
meet again. He was pretty adamant about returning the Book of Mormon to us, so
we'll be waiting for our appointment Friday, and believe me, he won't be
leaving without that book still in his hands! We hope.
Gospel principles was a little over the top yesterday. The sisters brought their poor 45-ish year-old Italian investigator to our party of Africans, three members, two nonmembers, and two investigators. Fratello P translated himself, which worked... for the most part. Then in priesthood I was translating and I literally just put the mic down for about 10 minutes during the incredibly lively discussion of whether we were on chapter 9 or 10 of the Howard W. Hunter manual.
We are all just waiting for Samuel to make the jump... He speaks Italian pretty well and took a page and a half of notes while he talked to the bishop yesterday. It's been a pretty humbling experience for him being here in Italy. Back in the day when he was a wealthy traveling businessman, he literally went together with a couple other guys to pay to build a Christian church in England. He wants to contribute much more than just tithing but currently doesn't have a source of income to do it.
John passed his interview! We are really hoping Destiny or Endurance can baptize him. Originally John wanted to postpone the baptism because he thought he had to fast and pray for weeks before he decided who he wanted to baptize him. We kind of cleared that up and are back on for Saturday.
Love,
