CIAO!!!!

Famiglia!

 

This week has been nice. I met an investigator, the bishop's dad, he told us that he loves the church, but will die a catholic. His situation reminds me of Anziano Bednar's, the story he told about his dad in the most recent conference. I am not sure exactly how to teach to this man's needs because I feel like he is a member already(not that members do not have needs, but it is just harder to know what they are). I am learning a lot about prayer and how to recognize answers, because I really want to help this man more fully come unto Christ. Answers can come in the coolest ways! We had zone conference yesterday and imbedded in the talks of the different people I was able to figure out what I need to work on to help certain people. It is so important to attend church meetings! I love how it is a commandment to keep the sabbath day holy because God gives us commandments to bless us, so if we follow them we can be happier and receive blessings:)

Our goal this week is to find a family, so far it has been going well, we have many phone numbers to do an FHE with these families, I hope we can see them all.

So I got to call Sorella Sobeck in Mistretta this week, to ask her some information about our rembursments, while talking to her she told me a little bit about what has been happening in Mistretta. She told me about a woman I had talked to, (we were in Santo Stefano and I wanted to talk to as many people as possible since it would be my last chance there). A woman was sitting on the side walk and I just plopped (is that how it is spelled? boh) down next to her and started talking to her. We talked about where we were from and the likes and then I told her about why I am her, I told her about Joseph Smith and I bore my testimony to her and asked her to be baptized. Usually I do not bear my testimony so strongly or ask them to be baptized after the first five minutes, but it just felt right. Anyway, she said that she needed to learn more, but really wanted to!) Well, Sorella Sobeck told me that she is their mega progressing investigator and that she loves to come to church! My heart started to pound and I felt this rush of warm go through me. All of those darn missionary cliches about planting seeds are true! Plants grow from them in the most wonderful ways, people learn of Christ and grow from it in the most wonderful ways. I am so happy I talked to her that day:)

Well, I must be off. I love you all so so much and pray for you lots!

Have a good week!

Love,

Sorella Comollo

PS Mamma, Autumn Bruner wrote me and said she has not been getting my emails, do you think that you can send them to her? Thanks so much!
