Ciao!

So this week we had a huge miracle!  Last Saturday we got a call from this unknown number and it was a man  who's Italian  and he had just moved back from Italy with his wife who's South American she is a member.  He called me and told me he needed the directions for the church in Torino so I gave him the directions and after that, didn't think much of it.  The next day he comes to church with his wife and in gospel principles class he and his wife just break down crying because right now they are having a hard time moving back because they had some problems back in South America.  He was so overwhelmed by the love of the ward he couldn't believe it.  So we set up an appointment with him for the next day.  He lives pretty far away from the city about 45 minutes in Bus but we finally got there and he started explaining his whole situation which is pretty crazy.  Anyway we come to find out was he had a baptismal date in Peru and because he was so busy getting ready to move he told the Elders he couldn't do it but he would get baptized in Italy.  So we gave him the baptism date right there for the 4th of September!!  And he said yes!  Super cool guy and we're really excited to meet with him to help him get ready for baptism!!  Such a cool miracle.  I'm excited for him!!  With Riccardo it has been a rough week but we are still working with him and hopefully all will go well!  This last week we had a Zone Meeting and we were able to give the training to the zone.  The meeting lasted just under 2 hours and it was great!  Anziano Colemere and I planned it really well and overall, it flowed super well and it seemed like everyone liked it.  This transfer our Zone battle cry is Bee Anxiously Engaged and we made laminated cards for each member of the zone with a bee and referred to Elder Ballard's talk talking about bees and how each one needs to work hard to produce to the hive.  On the laminated card we had the scripture Colossians 3:23-24 talking about being accountable before God instead of the those above us.  Doing our best for God which I really like.  This week went well hope you are all doing well love you all!
