Well this week was good. We had zone conference so we went down to Bari for that. It was way cool... at the end we were all singing the mission hymn (we sing it at the end of every zone conference. Best song ever) (It's about finishing the work that Paul started when he came to Rome!). At the end of the song, some guy knocks on the door. We answered and he said "hey I saw the church was open and I just would like to learn more about it!!!" hahah, he walked into a room of 20 missionaries and said that!!
We had a carnivale party at church that was really fun and super crazy!!!! (Carnivale isnt just a day its like a season!!!) Everyone dresses up. So Sorella Baker and I dressed up as the Anziani!! hahah
I need to tell you all about Concetta!!!! She is one of our investigators!! We just barley started teaching her when I got here. My first lesson with her was the plan of salvation and it went well but this week we taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ and it was SO GOOD!!!! We asked her to be baptized and she was SOOOOO EXCITED!!! she was was so excited that she got to choose her own date!!! So she picked a date and asked how she gets baptized and if she needs to bring anythinig....etc!!! It was SOOOOO CUTE!!! She has a little girl and she told us the other night she had a ear ache and she asked if her if they could pray to Heavenly Father to make it better. Then she told us how she was so happy and how she felt like such a great mom for taking her daughter for church!!! Then on Sunday she shows up and was says "WHERE IS THE BAPTISM FONT? I WANT TO SEE THE FONT!!!! So that was just soooo exciting!!! Plus, she told her boyfriend and he was said "I WANT TO GET BAPTIZED TOO!!!" So now we are teaching the both of them!!!!!
lets see what else happend... We did A LOT OF FINDING this week.
Sorella Baker and I this week made this thing called the Bari Bomba (bomb of bari) and for district meeting and it was SOOO yummy!!! It's like cookies,nutella and cream!! hahah I didn't eat that much but it was LITERALLY THE BOMB!!!
OHHHH this week was LA FESTA DELLA DONNA!!!! which means the "Women's Day"!!! haha So they have Fathers Day and Mothers Day and then they have Women's Day! It was great!! Everyone kept telling us congrats all day for being women. Then when we got home one of our members had come and dropped off roses for us for being women! hahah LOVED IT!! We should have Women's Day in America!!!!
Oh they have the BEST pizza here by the way!
Sunday was good! We had ward conference. However for ward conference the bishop didn't want our investigators in the meeting because it was only for members. So we went into the archive and watched the Joseph Smith movie with Concetta, and her boyfriend Roberto. At the end we asked Roberto to pray about it and he was willing! He said a prayer right there and asked if this was the right church and if Joseph Smith was a true prophet?! it was the most beautiful prayer i've ever heard!!! (plus it was in Italian so obviously it was good). Then we went to a members after for pranzo which was nice because we were fasting for one of our other investigators for her Dad to give permission for her to get baptized!! So we ate the BEST PASTA in the WORLD!!!! Then we had salad and meatballs and then fruit and dessert!!! So good!!! We did weekly planning, then after we had a CES fireside that we went to. That was our Sunday!!! But it was awesome because we had 3 investigators at church!!!!
Well thats about all I think... love you all so much!!! you're the best and I miss you all so much!!! Remember to be awesome member missionaries!!!! MWAHAHA
