Snow in Rome? Ok, not quite snow, but enough hail to have a snow ball fight. We ran from our apartment to have a little winter fun in the street as we slid up and down everywhere.
News for this week is that Janus received the Priesthood and is preparing to bless the sacrament this Sunday. Samy did it last week and both are being taught by Alberto, a new convert from last October. This is an amazing ward and the work is still continuing forward. We have two great investigators, Federico and Valentina. Federico has accepted a baptismal date for February 21, while Valentina said she will pray about it. Simona and Davide lost thier little girl three years ago, 11 months, and it was amazing to teach them the first part of the plan of Salvation we'll finish up next week. They loved it and are thinking about baptism. We made contact with Telma Farias, a less-active young woman who doesn't have a lot of family support, but wants to serve a mission. She just needs to make the decisions on her own to reach that goal.
As for me, I finally learned how to make Panzarotti! (A dish from Puglia, aka. Taranto) during another split with Eugenia (from Moldova) and Alessandra. And our ward is amazing and is made of about 130 who attend on Sunday, though 75% is less-active. We're working on it! I love the Lord and I have loved using more of the scriptures in Preach My Gospel. Whoever wants, it's an awesome book.
I sent a package to send home some souveniers, including the amazing book that I purchased at the Vatican musuem! (that I carried up all 551 steps of the cupola...) And so I will respond to all of the amazing 16 emails I received next when I can in letter or email. (P.S. My family is amazing and I love you all)
