I had my first baptism this last week! It was so amazing and
it really couldn't have gone any better than it did. The ward mission leader
wasn't able to make it so we got to plan out the entire schedule and who gave
talks and all that so we called a return missionary to give a talk and another
youth in the ward. The return missionary, who served in Rome, gave the most
amazing talk about baptism and how wonderful it was that our investigator was
getting baptized. And also, one of our investigators who had said she couldn't
make it to the baptism because she was going to play soccer with her friends
decided to come anyway which was a miracle! She is such a solid investigator
and we have a baptismal date with her for the 28th of September but we might
have to push it back since she needs to come to church at least 3 times but
that's alright its no rush! So i think i can tell you the investigators name now
that he is a member of the church. It's Federico Masussi and he is such a stud!
he has a huge testimony of the church and especially the Book of Mormon. He is
going to be such a strong member.
Well this week our investigator that is from Ghana who is
really great just got out of the hospital because she had surgery on her foot
so she is going to be home not doing much for a while and wants to meet with us
often! She is the one who i met in church one sunday and she told me the really
amazing story of how she found the church in a dream. So we are planning on
getting a baptismal date with her for hopefully the end of September or maybe
even sooner it just depends on how her foot heals. But i really can't wait to
start to teach her again we always had the most spiritual lessons with
her.
So this last week was transfers and looks like im going to
stay in Brescia for another 6 weeks with my companion anz. allen! we are having
such a great time and get along so well its awesome! I feel like im doing
really good with the language but of course there is still so much to learn!
the hardest part of the language is trying to do the mannerisms that the
italians do because they stress their words so differently its insane!
But that will just come with time and for now im really working hard on
learning how to teach the preach my gospel lessons better since thats really
the most important.
