Ciao Tutti!

Family!!!!

First off, Congrats Alex on Graduating! I am so happy for you! You are free. Freedom, sweet sweet Freedom:)

This week has been pleasent:) The lesson we had with Giuseppe last night was so awesome! He told us that before he got to know the church he did not really have any direction for his life, he felt like he was just going through the motions, now he feels a lot more like he knows there is a purpose for his life and he has a direction. He also told us how much adversity he is experiencing. He said when he was exploring other faiths, before he met the missionaries, no one cared what religion he was a part of or learning about, but now he said everyone is against him and it just makes him want to keep going forward, instead of fall into their taunts. He is so awesome!

We had a miracle with area book. We called an ex investigator and he told us that he would call us and for us not to call. Well, we saw him the same day and he came up to us, because we did not know him and said he wants to meet with us next week! Area Book is awesome!

We had a lesson with three Romanian women. They are so sweet, I love them! Well, we were talking about strengthening our faith through the gospel and one of them asked us if we, as members of this church, have problems. She said that she has never met anyone that is so faithful and believing and so happy that perhaps with this church people do not have problems. I thought it was an interesting question. Of course we have problems, of course. We can still be so faithful and happy though our problems because the gosple teaches us how we can and why we need to. Hopefully that made sense.

I seriously have never been so happy in all my life. This is the hardest thing I have ever done, sometimes I wonder why I was so anxious to come because this work is so draining, mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually, but for some reason I cannot stop being happy! I love the people here so much, even though they drive me nuts:) I get so excited for the day while I am studying the scriptures, anticipating what I can teach with the spirit from the things that I am learning by the spirit.

Now I am just babbling. I just want to let you all know that I know that this work is of God, I know it, I know it and I can never deny it. I know that he loves us and that he is there and I know that prayer is so essential to our exsistence. I like the word essential, because in Italian the verb "to be" is essere. Prayer is a part of our being. Communication is important, communication with our Father in Heaven is essential. I know that if you pray with a sincere heart, real intent (to act on the things for which you pray) and have faith in Chirst, God cannot stop himself from giving you an answer, no matter what.(Moroni 10:4-5).

I love you all so so much and I am so excited to talk to you on Sunday!

See you soon:) 

Love you!

Love,

Sorella Comollo
