This week was amazing!! We set 3 baptism dates and have been having some really cool experiences. To start we are still working with our two baptismal dates, Jamal and Mario and as of now everything seems to be looking good for the baptisms on the 16 of March. We just have to teach them a few more commandments and they should be ready by that day so we are really excited. This week we set another baptism date with Rafeale! We saw that the missionaries had met with him in the past and we called him and he met with us. So for these past 3 weeks we've been meeting with him on and off and for one of our lessons we talked to him only about prayer and why it is so important in his conversion. So this last week he said that he has been praying more and told us that things have been going alot better for him. He's a really sincere guy and I don't know if I've told you all this before but he's blind. What he does is listen to the Book of Mormon on line. So he can't come to church until March and for that we set his baptismal date for April 6! We also set a date with Mauro, his date is not so strong. We gave him the date as a goal and he has the attitude of we'll see if I get an answer by then so I don't know he definitely needs to commit himself more into the work. So right now we have 4 baptismal dates and our district is on FIRE haha but things really are going well for everyone and we all have baptismal dates and it looks like maybe everyone in the district will have a baptism by the end of the transfer so just keep praying we can help these people come closer to Christ though baptism!! Funny story, so about the end of last transfer when I was still with Anziano Webb we met this guy named Dino who is like 80 years old. Well he's more interested to learn English so one day for Lunch he took us to a (Trattoria) family owned restaurant and dropped 40 euro on us haha. Such good food. Anyways we talked to him about our church and he has a hard time believing that God can hear all our prayers and once, like there are so many people. But we explained to him and he still has a hard time believing it. So the other day he calls me again and I answer and he invites us to come to a "banquet" and told us it would be a great way to get our message across. Hahaha so I called president and he gave us the permission to go and we brought another coppia of Anziani. It was fun there was alot of people and we got to explain who we are and what our message is. But unfortunately nothing came of it. But it was fun to see Dino doing some missionary work for us really good guy. This week I had two scambio's and they both went really well both we worked really hard and the missionaries were hard working so I really enjoyed it. I went with Anziano Klemm from Colorado and Anziano Christensen from Spanish Fork. Things have been great in Genova it snowed the other day but when it snows the next day everything is gone. We have also been working alot with the ward. The ward is still going through a tough time with all the things that have happened this last year so just trying to offer service and get them involved in our missionary work. It's good to here that Daniel is finally in Kenya and sounds like things will be going really well for him. I had to laugh when I read the first thing he saw was Zebras!! Haha that's so crazy but anyways things are going well thanks for all the support and love pray for my investigators that they can keep progressing towards baptism! Thanks love you all!
