This week we really saw a lot of miracles with the work. We did some area book finding (looking through our info books and calling people who look like they might be willing to meet again), and it really worked. If you are also on a mission and you have not yet tried to go through your area book or phone I highly suggest trying it. Just put aside 10 or 20 minutes a day to go through some papers and then call the numbers you find.
This week was pretty busy. I did an exchange with the district leader and he got to see the town. He also got to teach some of the new investigators. It’s always interesting to see someone else’s teaching style and take things from it especially from missionaries that have been in the mission for a lot longer.
We had an early Thanksgiving dinner this past weekend which was super cool. The food was an interestingly Italian spin on the classic American dishes, also I guess a lot of Italians don’t like turkey, so we ate chicken instead. It was really good though. It was also nice to see so many of our member’s together having a good time. Our members are split up into a branch up in Mistretta and a group down in Sant’Agata, so they don’t get to really see much of each other all the time. It was really nice to see them all talking an laughing together. That plus we got an inactive member who hadn’t come to a church run event for years to come and it looks like she had a great time. Hopefully that’ll help her be excited to come to church again.
Today for pday we had zone calcio (soccer) which was a blast. It was raining which believe it or not made it more fun. And I have to say, I have come a long way with my soccer skills. If any of you saw me before the mission… well let’s just say, a mission changes a person and that includes how good he is at soccer.
Non ho tanto da dire oggi ma al meno voglio lasciarvi la mia testimonianza. Io so che questa chiesa è vera e che il nostro Padre Celeste ci ama. E perché Lui ci ama ha mandato il suo figlio Gesù Cristo di essere il nostro salvatore affinché io possa, voi possiate, e tutti noi possiamo tornare a vivere con Lui e le nostre famiglie per la eternità. Non dovreste dimenticarlo mai.
Con amore,
Anziano Findlay
