Thursday was a great
day! We got to see the Tacunan's and teach them about the Word of Wisdom. They
were absolutely adorable. Adrianna, the 9 year old, ran into the kitchen,
grabbed a juice box and desperately asked "can I still drink this??".
Haha then I felt bad because the kids definitely threw Maria under the bus and
ratted her out for drinking coffee. They're a great family.
But we also had
another miracle! We stopped to get a gelato while we were doing pass-bys. You
need some comfort when you search for 3 addresses and none of them are there.
The guy who owns the gelateria started talking to us and we ended up teaching
him the Restoration. He wanted a Book of Mormon and he was going to try to buy
one off the internet but we told him not to fret because we have 20 at our
apartment!
On Friday we had
dinner with the Ferranti family and they had a friend staying with them who had
been baptized in Muggiò. Her family had been in an accident and so it's a
miracle that she's alive. Her husband passed away though and she was left with
her one year old son. She's incredibly strong and has a great love for the
people around her.
Saturday we met with
Livia and Guido! They are so sweet. So Guido absolutely loves American history.
He talked to me about that and his ideal place to travel is to Virginia so he
can see Gettysburg. They bought us a pizza and they gave us books from their
library as gifts haha. We told them thank you for the pizza and they were like
"are you kidding me?!" They're just those kind of people. It was
awesome because we were able to have them pray and the end of this lesson.
Livia is catholic but as she prayed she thanked Heavenly Father that we had
reminded her of the importance of prayer and even Guido, who isn't religious,
prayed. You know there are some people who you feel like are prepared to hear
the message of the Restored Gospel and I feel like it's them.
Sunday we had lunch
with Maria Nante and her son. They're members but haven't been to church in
awhile. It was fun getting to know them better and talking with them. They are
so loving and open. Maria made us some delicious cheese wrapped in bacon. Haha
and I'm not joking. It was delicious! Then we finished doing some paperwork
finally before the new transfer started!
Monday was rainy all
day. We were able to visit Grace and Massimo. Massimo is 14 and he's so shy. We
are trying to build a relationship with him and to help him break out of his
shell a bit. Then we saw Sorella Bassi. She's a cute little old lady who I
love. Okay she's really not that old. But she has this habit when she says
something funny or exciting she sticks out her tongue a bit. It's hard to
describe but it's not weird. I love it! Then we passed by Corrado, the man who
owns the gelateria. I think us meeting him just goes to show why it's important
that missionaries stop to get gelato! We had a really good lesson with him and
explained more about the Book of Mormon. He's another one who I feel like is
prepared to hear our message. It was a really good lesson and I think just the
introduction of the Book of Mormon hit him.
Tuesday was another
rainy day. The past couple nights we've been arriving home completely soaked!
But hey it's rain, so I guess it means it's not too cold! The Alvarado's
unexpectedly fed us which was super nice! They're the sweetest! I love
them.
Today we are in Milan
and we are going to see a castle. We will see what happens. We are kind of just
going where the wind takes us!
I love you all and
hope you have an amazing Thanksgiving!
Doesn't the train station look grand?
A cool church we walked by
The castle we visited today!
