Ciao mamma,
It is good to hear from you again! This week has been a little hectic, it is weird getting a new companion. Speaking of which though, Anziano Gneiting is a great guy, really fun and nice and works hard, so we will get along great. I have been doing great though here in Padova! Tomorrow my companion is going to a district leader/zone leader thing, so I will be training a new missionary for a day! I am actually kind of excited, I have improved in the language now to the point where I can get by kind of, just slowly. So we can go around being clueless together tomorrow.
This week was great though! We set three baptismal dates! And we are hoping to set 2 more this next week. We have an amazing investigator right now whose name is Stefano. He was a referral from a girl in the ward, I am not sure if I have told you about him or not. Well, anyways, he is super interested in the gospel, and really is looking for a change in his life. He told us just this last visit though, he said "I don't know if this is true, I have prayed and I feel good about these things I hear, but how can I understand that to be my answer?" So I asked him if he had read the Book of Mormon and how he feels about it, and he said that he knows it's true! So from there we got him to realize that since he knows that the Book of Mormon is true, he can eventually learn the truth of the other things. But what he said at the end really renewed my faith in the power of the Book of Mormon. After we asked what he thought about that, he said, "I know that this book is true, I feel like I should rely on this for now, and learn more about everything else later." More or less, it is weird trying to translate Italian to English. Anyways, we will set a baptismal date with him next time, and I feel like he will accept it for sure!
Besides that, we have had a normal week. It took a while for me to train my senior companion on the area, it was weird having to be in charge for a couple of days before he knew enough to take over, but I felt like I was able to do it. I had a weird moment where I thought about what I was doing, and I know that without everyone's prayers and the Lord helping me, I just couldn't do it. I never worked so much in my life! I was telling Jack just how easy all the stuff you make us do around the house is when you compare it to this work.
Dad and his chicken's, wait, I thought that was Jack's business. Haha. Or is it Ellie's? Oh well, you all just share it I guess. That sounds fun though, how many chickens are there now? The weather here has been better as well! We even got to go out without wearing a sweater or jacket for the first time in my mission and it was awesome. I was really excited to do that. Turns out people still look at you funny anyways. Haha. I hope you all have a great week! Love you.
Vi voglio bene,
Anziano Vaclaw
