First off, Tanti Auguri Olga!!!!
This week has been so busy and great! We ask Giuseppe to get baptized... He said... That he is still praying about it. That is way better than no:) He is so great. He has not been to church in two weeks, but yesterday when we talked to him he says that he feels like something is missing from his life, a spiritual spark and he says that he knows it is because he has not been going to church. We had a crazy experience yesterday in Capo D'orlando where Giuseppe lives. We go there early, our appointment with him was at 7 and we arrived at 5. We just wanted to go in an area near his house and do finding until the appointment. Anyway. I was driving up the huge mongo hill to the area where he lives and I passed a little street. I have passed that little street lots of times, but this time the idea popped into my head, you should turn down that street. I ignored it because we had already decided to go up by Giuseppe's plus I did not want to make a U turn, they are so difficult in these tiny Italian streets. A minute or so later I got this super strong idea, You need to go back and go down that street. Well, I can testify that that was the spirit telling me what to do. We turned around and went down the street. We did some finding, no one was interested. Then we saw a kid fixing his motor bike and asked him if we could talk to him, he said no. Well, his dad came out, Carmello. Carmello, is so cool, he let us talk to him and pray with him!!! He started to cry after the prayer and said it was so nice. He is a super tough guy and kept looking around so no one would see him crying or with missionaries. In the end he said that he would call us and that we could stop by again next week. He also said that he likes how I am so happy and smilely, he said you do not see that everyday:) So Carmello was a reason to go down that street. The anziani called us for our numbers for the car, the milage and the money we spent this month. We were not near the car, so we had to walk back up to it. Guess who was driving and saw us walking to our car, Giuseppe's wife! She had to go but she told us to go see her sister and Clara, her daughter, in the apartment complex across the street. We parked right in front of her house and did not even know it! Well, the sister of Giuseppe's wife just wanted to bible bash (she even prayed at the end that these sweet girls could learn more and not be decieved...oh dear). However, for the first time I got to really talk to Clara, Giuseppe's daughter. She promised she would pray and she says that she wants to know if what we are saying is true, but she just doesn't know how. It was so awesome! Things happen for a reason!
On Tuesday it was the holiday of work, so we got invited to the country home of an investigator, Salvatore. It was so fun and we got to meet all of his neighboors who said that we could come by, hurray! I love italians! They are so nice and fun! We ate way too much, I got full on the antipasti, but kept going;)
We also had the chance this week to have the Anziani in our district come to Mistretta and help us with Beatrice and Pasquale. The Anziani worked with Pasquale to help him stop smoking and we worked with Bea. I love Bea and Pasquale so much, I know that they can do it with the Lord's help!
We went to Cefalu' today for Preparation day. It was fun to go on a hike and see the view:)
I love you all so much! I am so excited to talk to you soon! I made a skype account today, so you should be able to find me:) It is eva.comollo
