Allora, how the heck is everyone?! I'm sure you're great, even if
there are thunderstorms already. =) Things are good here. Oh Sara, before
I get started, I found something that you might like. Get your bible and
go to Genesis
17:15 then, when you get to footnote a, look at the bottom of the page for
what it means. Just don't rub it in Maren's face too much because she
might get jealous.
This week, or at least from Saturday to yesterday, it was "La
Festa Della Madonna" (the festival for the mother of Jesus) in Reggio.
MAN! It has been so crazy! I didn't know that Reggio could be so
busy and alive. There have been concerts, (a couple by the castle which
is right by our house, it's been hard to sleep) parties, shows, fireworks, and
all kinds of people selling all kinds of things. It's been cool to see
but it's made missionary work a little hard. =/
We’ve done a ton of publicity for our English course; hopefully
we'll be able to recover from the summer vacations and the fact that there
weren't missionaries in Reggio for a month before we came here. (It’s working!
I just got 3 phone calls in a row for the course! Score!) About Tamara,
she is doing great!! With the fest and everything it's been a little difficult
to see her and for the weekend she went to Catania for a dance tryout.
But she has started the Book of Mormon a third time and is making
great progress!
Anyways, on Friday, we also saw a member who is starting to come
back to church. It went really well but the best part of the visit was at
the end when he gave us a bunny. Now you might be saying to yourself, but
missionaries can't have pets.... don't worry, we are planning on eating it on
Saturday. It was skinned and frozen solid. =/ We’ll see how it turns
out...
Hmm, what else, for over a week now, at night when I write in
my journal, at the end I add a tender mercy of the day; It’s been helping a lot
with recognizing the hand of the Lord in this work and my personal life.
True sometimes it is kind of difficult to find something but as you sit
and think about it, tens of examples come to mind and then it's hard to pick
just one.
I hope you enjoy the pictures. I especially like the one with
the pig. =) I love you. Have a great week!!
