Hello Everyone! :D
I love you all! I am sooo
happy in Ostia! I know the city soooo well now, and we have been seeing
so many miracles! Most of them have to do with changes in the daily plans
that we make.
We had a nice day in Laurentina last
week where we visited a new convert si chiama "Roxana" :)
I love her! She is Peruvian and has a year old son named Dorian.
They are just the coolest. So we visited them, and were planning on
going home right after because Laurentina is pretty far away from the Mainland
of Ostia. (Our area is HUGE!!! and goes from Rome to all of the coastal
area, stopping at Ladispoli and right before the Napoli Zone. It is
pretty amazing). THEN, I felt inspired to call Teresa and go over to her
house, so my companion and I decided to follow the Spirit and go over to see
Teresa. (I LOVE Teresa btw!) We will be bffs after the mission!
She served a mission in Missouri in the 80s and is one of the coolest, funniest
people I have ever met! (She is the one with the really curly hair in the
pictures). She made us lunch and then made plans for us to see her
brother and his friend (neither of whom are members!) We got to talk to
them for a while and we are planning to give her brothers friend a Libra did
Mormon in Serbian because it is her native language. We are really
excited! :D
POI, we were inspired to go see the
Torres Family. We went over to their house and, as I was trying to tune
Juans guitar, Raquel told us that she wants us to start teaching a bible class
at her house! She said she will invite friends too, so it will be a great
experience. THEN, we went over to the Battistinis house, and they told us
if the missionary successes that they started having after we invited them to
Pray for missionary opportunities every day! Sister Battistini is on
fire! She has talked to a plumber who is interested, and gave us a
referral for a man who wants to meet the missionaries! :D Every
member a missionary! Ostia ward is sooo great!
After that day ended, I seriously
felt like ever step that we had taken was inspired. WOW; it was sooooo
cool.
Then, we had another day where we
went over to Ardea (2 hours away! Holy cow, our Zone is too big...)
to see a former investigator named Odile. She is really great!
She is evangelist, but had a baptismal date before and really wants us to
start having a church service closer to her! (Which we can totally do!)
She also said that she wants to come out and do finding with us! She is so
cool! She is originally from Africa, and Speaks French, so Sister Spicq
and her got to read some scriptures out loud for us in French the other day!
It was really cool! :)
Annnd, yesterday, we had a plan to
go teach Alessandra and Massimo with Sorella Alicino, but they ended up
cancelling, so we had nada to do! So, we tried to make appointments,
nothing was working, so we decided to get on a bus for Piazza Gaspari to go see
Tina Frau. I called Carmello to see if Tina (his mom) would be there.
Lol, he said "Non lo so, ma venite!" Haha, sooo we went
over to Carmellos and Sorella Alicino (our ward missionary) shared a really
nice thought with Carmello (because Tina ended up not being there) from Job 22.
We also talked with Carmello about his goal to go to the Temple around
Christmas this year! We are so excited for his goal and we know that he
can accomplish it!
Oh! One more thing before I
go: Lately, for English course, I have gotten to be the
"Facilitator" and I love it! This means that I get to lead the
English lessons that we have, and help the students learn the new words and
practice their conversational skills. It is ssoooooooo cool!!! XD I
love it.
Welp, that’s all I’ve got for now!
Until next week!
Con tutto il mio cuore,
Sorella Corey Cherrington
