Ciao come state? Thanks for all of the updates, especially the one about Dallin tearin it up on the baseball field! Good job big D you da best! Im very happy to hear that grandma is doing better, that is a major relief! Im also glad Dad is doing well, im glad that Uncle Jeff and the missionary there were able to give him a blessing. Lately we also have been giving quite a few blessings here in Switzerland.
We had a very different experience this easter sunday after
church. We recieved a call from the Milano office telling us about a member in
utah, who's sister lives here in our area of Switzerland very close to
Bellinzona, has been going through a very difficult time in her life and is
considering commiting suicide. So the member living in utah asked if my
companion and I could go over to her sisters house and give her a blessing, of
course we said yes. When we got there it was very peaceful and the lady (about
55 or so yrs old) was very sweet and loving and open with her emotions about
the things that she has been going through lately. i dont think i should go
into detail but ill just say that she is definitly one of the strongest people
i have ever met in my life for going through all of the things she has. So we
talked to her about our religion, said a prayer for the spirit to be there and
after about an hour and a half of talking we gave her a blessing. She said that
she felt much better and couldnt stop thanking us for the pass by (she is such
a sweet lady i was really sad that we had to leave her house but it was getting
soo late). Before we left she also said that she would enjoy coming to church
this next sunday and so we gave her a Plan of Salvation pamphlet to read and it
had the directions of our church on the back and told her to call us anytime
she needed anything.
Well that was pretty much the highlight of this week. I wish
i could end this email with good news but unfortunately i have to include that
our two golden investigators asked us for a little break from the lessons. they
are having a very hard time quitting smoking and the father is really worried
about a very messy situation he is in right now. But keep praying for them
because they are awesome and i really dont want to give up on 'em. thanks!
Allora, vi voglio tantissimo bene tutti quanti e non vedo l'ora di vedervi di nuovo! (Well, i love you all very much and i cant wait to see you all agian!).
Ciao tutti!
p.s.- one more round of applause for my stud brother
Dallin!!!
Much love, Anziano Delgado
