Miracles!

Ciao tutti!
Well this last week we've had a few miracles! I'll start from the beginning. This week we went to milano for Anziano Mustafaraj passport appointment. We got there and the Albanian embassy is right in front of the Milano Duomo. So we walked in and I only knew a few Albanian words so I would try talk to Anziano Mustaferaj in Albanian and he was like oh my gosh just be quiet haha it was funny trying to act Albanian. Anyway he asked what he had to do to redo his passport and they said he would have to translate some documents which would take forever... and also it would cost a lot of money. He asked if there were any lost Albanian passports he could go through and they are like yeah right here. So there was about two boxes and he just starts going through them and all of the sudden he ends up finding his passport!!! It was lost in Genova and he ends up finding it in Milano! MIRACLE haha! We were so happy finally enough with traveling around. This week we will have a baptism by the way! With Austin! He's from Nigeria and we've been teaching him since I've gotten here and he's ready! The senior couple the Petersons from Bergamo came here and interviewed him and he's ready to go! He's so excited to be baptized and I can't wait. It's going to happen this Saturday at 6! Also we set a new baptism date with Evan. He's Italian and he's met with the missionaries only once before and in the end he was like thanks guys but I'm going to stay catholic. Well some things have changed in his life and one day we were riding home to go to lunch and I see this guy sitting on the bench outside our house. He waves at us so I ride over and we start talking and we sit down and talk about the plan of salvation. It went great. And he became a new investigator. The first lesson we had with him we gave him the baptism preset. The baptism preset is where at the beginning of the lesson you tell the person, at the end we are going to give you a baptism date and we were a little nervous but he understood and at the end he accepted it! He came to church this Sunday and loved it as well! He's super cool about 40 years old and has told his whole family about baptism already! But we're looking forward to it. Things are still going great with Anziano Mustafaraj. We are still laughing everyday and doing some great work. The zone is doing really well also! Hope your all doing well Love you all!
