Sorella Nordlin is feeling pretty darn great this week and we were back to the normal missionary life! And we were so blessed this week! Two of the people we are teaching accepted baptismal dates! Raffaele's is next month, and Wosa is end of August! It was like such a miracle! We are so so excited for that.
Some of the other highlights this week:
* I gave a talk in church. I haven't been asked to speak up to this point, so it was pretty fun. I made Anthony read over it all to make sure it was correct. And it was. 🙏 But that was really good. It was on repentance.
* We went to Rome and met the new mission president! President and Sister Smith are amazing. I love them so much already. I think the next 9 months are going to be pretty amazing. They are just the sweetest and I connect with them in so many different ways.
* We taught a lesson in Portuguese! (well sorta) We went to a member's house on Sunday. The mother is from Brazil and the father is American and then there are two daughters. The whole family speaks both languages. But the mom's sister who isn't a member is staying with them. She speaks Italian and Portuguese. So for our spiritual thought we had the two daughters teach the plan of salvation in Portuguese. We were able to follow most of what was said. It's pretty similar to Italian. And if they missed something, we filled in Italian. The dad served his mission in Brasil and so he stepped in to help too. It was over all just a really good lesson.
And then a bunch of other really cool things happened. Long story short, after the trial of your faith comes the blessings. I love you all and hope you are doing alright!!
Ciao ciao
