Well a lot has transpired over this past week. We've had some really awesome and some not so awesome experiences, it's made for an interesting week, thats for sure! The coolest thing is Adriano, our investigator, is successfully moving towards his baptism this Saturday. When Anziano Atanasio and I first met Adriano we found him showing the Christmas video, and it has been so cool to watch how much he has changed. He is such a stud! The not so cool thing is that one day as we headed to the church to teach a lesson and our english course, we were pick pocketed we think. Somewhere between the 7 minute tram ride from our house to the church, our phone went missing. We literally have no clue what happened. We are like 90% sure we were pick pocketed. Whoever did it though was good....but the success with Adriano far outweighs the loss of our phone.
The work here in Palermo is going really good and we are able to stay really busy. We both love to stay busy, so it makes for good times! We have set a goal to get another baptism. We have some other investigators who are ready to make the necessary changes in their lives and seem pretty promising. Which is going to require us to extend a baptismal date, so keep us in your prayers!
As a missionary we run into a lot of people who have different beliefs. Sadly, some believe that God has forgoten us or that we aren't as important anymore. Nephi said something that I love. He said "For behold, I am God; and I am a God of miracles; and I will show unto the world that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and I work not among the children of men save it be according to their faith." (2 Nephi 27:23). God is still there and He still loves us. Today is still a day of miracles, sometimes you just have to open your eyes to see them. I hope all of you feel the love of your Heavenly Father and see the miracles of the gospel today. Love you guys! Have a good week!
