Ciao Famiglia mia!

This week has been great. We walked so much. We met a guy on the train who wanted a book of mormon, he gave us his address in Maccarese. He said his house was pretty close to the station. On the way there we took a bus, so it did not seem so far, the bus just took a detour. We gave him the book and explained the restoration. He was so nice, saying how much he loved animals and how much he loves God and how God is everyone.:) He told us to get back to the station "you just have to walk to the end of the road, turn right and walk until you see it". He said it is right around the corner. Well, it was about 7:30, it was already dark, so we could really see the stars on that country road. We walked and walked and yes the station was around the corner, only five miles down the road! We got home around 10. Oh dear, that was funny! I guess we just have different perceptions of distance. Perhaps this could be applied in a spiritual sense. :)

Yesterday we experienced a miracle, a little one, but a miracle nontheless. We went to see Arcangelo. When we got there it took a while for him to let us in because he was looking for his keys. He could not find them anywhere. So he procured the keys of his daughter to let us in. He was really nervous about losing them because not too many months ago their house was broken into and a lot of their stuff was stolen. He looked for them a little while longer before we started the lesson. We prayed to begin, also for him to find the keys. We read in 1 Nefi 17 and there was a part in the story when Nefi must go to build the boat, he has to ask for the Lord's help to know where to find the tools to build it, just like finding keys, no? Later we talked about him setting a baptismal date as a goal, he said he would choose one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is amazing, I am not sure if he is going to choose it for 2020, hopefully sooner, but he said he would go piano piano. Well, after the lesson he prayed. He just said his little quick prayer and afterward we asked him, well what about the keys. So, he said another prayer and asked for help to find the keys! This was the miracle. Arcangelo asked God a question, he asked him for help. He has never done this before, he always just kind of shrugs off the idea that God can really help him. We left, but asked him to call us when he found the keys. Five minutes later we got a call from him, he found them! That was not the miracle, that they were found, but the miracle was found in the process of the searching, with the prayer he offered.

Have a wonderful week!

I love you all so much!

Love,
