Open Your Mouths

Ciao tutti! MIRACLE WEEK! (aka average week here in Milano) While our simp Maria has yet to show up to an appointment since her fight with her sister and hasn't agreed to a new baptismal date yet, we were able to set a baptismal date with our simp Nancy, who is amazing! She has 7 kids, who are all members. 4 served missions. She has wanted to wait for a long time to be baptized, and we just met her a couple weeks ago. But now she finally feels ready. She will be baptized on August 25th!!!!!! I hope that I will be here for it since transfer calls are this Saturday and I could be leaving, but either way, I am so excited for her. Nancy only speaks Spanish, but luckily the gift of tongues exists and I have been so blessed to be able to understand and teach her in her language and feel the love that our Father in Heaven has for Nancy. She really is amazing!

Another miracle! About 3 weeks ago, I talked to a husband and wife on the bus. They were really cool and had seen us while doing a mostra before, and we had a good conversation with them and gave them a pamphlet, but nothing else came of it. But this last Sunday, during our mostra, the husband saw us again, and this time he approached us. He took a Book of Mormon, we talked for a while, and we got their phone number and address. The only (maybe) bummer is that he has been studying with the Jehovah's Witnesses for 38 years. But he was really cool still and said we could come over this week! Just goes to show that any little conversation we have about the Gospel could stick in someone's mind and make the difference in the future.

Well Friday and Saturday are transfer call days! I am a little nervous about this one, but always ready to go/stay where the Lord calls me. I know that He is guiding us this work, and see His hand in it every day! He is always guiding us to the right people, and when we open our mouths, it is easy to find those who are prepared. Vi voglio bene! Have a great week everyone!
