This week I have continued my study on love and charity.
I am reading the whole Book of Mormon all the way through looking for
references that talk about either of them. It’s crazy! Everything single page
has something to teach us. Easily one of the best studies that I have done on
my mission. I usually read about 30 minutes of the Book of Mormon a day looking
for stuff like that.
We also did a fun Helping Hands activity! We went to an
old folks’ home (The Retirement Castle I called it) and we sang them songs,
told them jokes and were friends with them. I personally sang "Somewhere
beyond the Sea." I think that it was a success. We had quite a few members
come! It’s the old folks home where one of our members works.
I was super proud of our new convert member, Kevin, this
week. He is 13 years old and all of his friends invited him to go the beach.
But...he decided to come to church instead! (Haha... This week in church we had
about 40% of the people who normally come because it was super hot all week and
everybody went to the beach. It is the last week of June... I can’t imagine
what is going to happen during the months of July and August. We will see. Also
Kevin paid his tithing this week. His father gave him 3 euros for a Kebab… So I
helped him fill out his slip for 30 cents. Good kid.
Anziano Peterson is gone. Transferred. We now have Anz
Kennedy. His father is American. Mother is Italian. He has lived here all his
life and speaks both languages perfectly. He also has a very nice clear accent
from Tuscany which is refreshing. He is a really good guy. I like him.
This week we have continued our quest for new
investigators. We have tried all our techniques. As we come into the summer
there are less and less people on the streets every day and more and more people
on the busses headed to the beach about 20 minutes away. Sadly, last week we
were planning on going to the beach but Anz Lewis had some indigestion problems
and we could not go...
This week we also found a Napoli Pizzeria that is really
good right near the house! Maybe one of the best finds of the week. 3 bucks a
pizza (usually Napoli Pizzas are 5 bucks or so). But we have gotten a few of
those this week.
We are continuing to work with our members and less
actives. They are doing well.
Ciao ciao ciao!
