Week 46


Torino 40 - avete mai visto questo libro?
We went Book of Mormon finding in centro with a giant B.O.M. made by some members and missionaries a
while back. It's wood and you can open it and read some scriptures inside. It's really cool. So we asked a
bunch of people if they've ever seen this book, and most people probably thought we were JWs and avoided
us or said no. So it was just a lot of rejection. It was fun for us, though.


One guy said he didn't speak Italian, only Spanish. Good thing that's Anz M's native language so he started
off in Spanish and the guy was like what is he saying and then admitted that he's Italian so he had to talk to us
for a bit because we totally caught his lie. Between the 4 of us we've got 5 languages so yeah you can't escape
us that way!


The one Book we gave out made it all worth it. We stopped a young woman and she was kind of curious. So
got a copy and a run-down of the Restoration to go with it. It was really cool, the 4 of us preaching truth in a
piazza in the nice evening weather and the Spirit of God testifying of the truth. Moments like those remind me
why I'm out here.


This transfer, our mission has been focusing on The Book of Mormon and teaching the message of the
Restoration simply. We talked about that in Zone Conference yesterday and it was really good. The word of
God combined with our living testimony is so powerful, if anyone will stop and listen.


A will be baptized on the 31st, along her friend who she introduced to the missionaries & church. Heck Yeah!


Ok now for the not-so-missionary-work-related update.


Sor R accidentally sent her weekly email to the mission office. The next day I got a call from a concerned
Sorella G who gave me proper instructions on how to defrost a freezer (not with an iron). Oops.


Some guys from Turkey asked me to snap their picture, then wanted a picture with us so now I have a picture
with some Turkish men.


So that's about it for this week's adventures. I love hearing from y'all! I invite y'all to read 3 Nephi 12 this week
and tell me what you think.   ( https://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/3-ne/12.1-2)


Bye!
