New Contact!

 

Hey guys! thanks for the pictures and amazing emails! it is very sad to hear about chris page's death but im so glad he had the chance to be baptized and feel the spirit in his life before he passed away.

Ok so this week has been a little better than the past in the sense of people to teach. we just got two lessons yesterday and a lesson the day before so we are doing a lot better now! we got one new investigator that came to english class and he is curious about the book of mormon and wants to learn more... but only if we teach him in english hahaha. its good for us since it is 10x easier to teach in english but we really want him to be able to understand everything we say and teach so that he can really understand everything but we'll see how it goes! we also are still teaching the man from ghana and he is really progressing and is reading the book of mormon and praying to know the truth, we just need him to commit to come to church and get to meet the branch members who are all very sweet. but other than those two investigators we dont have much else. just proselyting a lot and going house to house. it was a great week though and my companion and i are getting along great! its going to be really sad if i get transferred after just serving one with him. 

Ok well thanks for the emails and thank you granna and bompa for always taking time out of your week to write me! love you both so very much!!!!!! love all of you guys and cant wait to hear from you next week! Ciao BELLI!

From Milena to Steven:

So, I have a few random questions I would like to know:

1.      How much is a haircut there?
2.      How often do you eat at the members home?  Have they cooked anything interesting lately?
3.      Do you ever take your suits and ties to get dry cleaned? (Just noticing how dirty our Elder’s suits get especially when they’re playing ping pong and baseball in them…lol)
4.      How much money (euro) do you get for allowance each month?  Does it cover all your expenses?
5.      Did you ever see a Dr. when you were sick?
6.      Any pictures of your new companion?  Still getting along great?
7.      Are you ever gonna send me your flash drive with all your pictures?????  Buy a new one and start backing up to that.
8.      Any new conversion stories or new contact stories? We LOVE hearing them!
9.      From Missy:  Are there any cute Elder’s in your mission? Lol
