Siena
Ciao!
Another great week in Prato! We have a new investigator named Nicola. He's from Albania and has been in Italy for 12 years. His wife is still in Albania. We met him a couple days ago at the park. He's Muslim, but has never been practicing. He's having a really hard time in his life right now, which has really humbled him and prepared him to learn more about the Gospel. We've only met with him once, but are excited to keep working with him.
Nertil is doing great, as usual! He went up to northern Italy last weekend, where his family lives, to take his sister a Book of Mormon and take her to Church! She loved church and talked to the sister missionaries there for a long time. We taught him about Temples last week, and he got super excited when he found out that he can do genealogy and do work for his ancestors! He really wants to get baptized for his grandpa. He's amazing! He teaches me way more than I teach him and I am inspired by his example.
The work is going well. The Gospel is amazing! I'm so grateful to be here.
Vi voglio tanto bene!
