It has been another great week in the great city of Bergamo! This week we are having transfers and nothing is changing between me and Anziano Treadway we will be together for another 6 weeks and I am grateful for that we have so much fun together I love it! But with the other coppia that lives with us Anziano Hess is leaving and going to Udine and Anziano Pectol is staying here and getting a new companion so we are excited for the changes tomorrow! This Sunday was great! I gave a talk and the theme was "being born of goodly parents" and I was a little nervous because the first two speakers went really quick so I had 30 minutes for fill since I was the last speaker. But lucky for me, the stake president was there and was able to talk for 10 minutes. But I thought I did well and the members came up and told me that they liked it. After we went to the Guidetti couples home for lunch. The Guidetti's are the funniest people you will ever meet. Just immagine that grumpy guy from the movie up and that's Fratello Guidetti and his wife Jolanda is funny as well. They are both 72 years old. It was awkward though. They invited a relative over and Fratello Guidetti started going into some deep doctorine, like how we do baptisms for the dead and temple marriges. But Sorelle Guidetti made some of the best pasta I've had so far! After we got home and rested for a bit and picked up this 18 year old Bolivian named Daniel and took him to church with his ward. Daniel was baptized in Bolivia but when he got here he was just inactive because he didn't know the language. One day he was looking out his appartment window and he saw two mormon missionaries go by in his appartment complex and he couldn't believe it. So since then we've been friendly with him and we invited him to come to church at 4 this Sunday! He came and loved it because everyone is the city of Bergamo who are members are all Bolivians so he could understand them! The members were great and greeted him so hopefully he gets active!
Right now the nights here in Bergamo are soo humid I woke up and was just drenched in sweat! But about the work we have this new investigator that we met the other day and when we rang his house and he let us in and we briefly explained the Book of Mormon and the Restauration of the church. Four days later when we came back to Fausto's home and he had read 80 pages of the Book of Mormon!! We talked a little bit about what he read and taught him how to pray if it is true. He is a very interesting guy. He's Italian, married to a Nigerian woman and reads all the time. We are bringing a returned missionary to our next appointment so we are looking forward to that! Pray for us! Today we are going to Brescia and going TIE SHOPPING! We are going there and then checking out the castle as well! Things are great here loving missionary life and my comp. and I are having fun everyday! Thanks for the support love you all!
Anziano Thomas
