I will probably be writing quickly
this week because I have some important emails I would like to respond to.
BUUUT, this week has been the craziest!
I am now companions with SORELLA
KIMBALL who is so sweet and very chill. I really like that about her.
:) We have been having a fun time trying to get into the groove of
things, and I have enjoyed showing her Ostia. :) This week, we saw
Fabrizzio again, and we taught him "La Legge di Castità" which is the
Law of Chastity. It went really well, and was really kind of funny
actually. We had a member with us, Fabrizzio Romeo, and it went nicely!
Lol, when we pulled out the Opuscolo, Fabrizzio started laughing and
said, "I am chaste! I may have smoked in my life and done other
things, but I have always been chaste!" It was really funny!
But we for sure had the spirit there after that and we were able to
explain things simply and by the Spirit. He accepted the commitments %200
to live the law of chastity and to continue to live the Word of Wisdom.
He is really an outstanding person. We are bringing him to a
baptism this next Sabato so he can see how it all happens and feel more commodo
with it all. It will be great! :)
Also, we saw Odile this week in
Marina di Ardea (LOVE THAT PLACE! XD). We shared a beautiful lesson with
her about the Restoration and the priesthood. It was really nice because
we were able to address her concerns about being baptized a third time (first
it was catholic, then Evangelist, and now Mormon!) We still have some work to
do in regards to explaining better why the Restored Priesthood is so important,
ma penso che ce la facciamo! I am really excited to invite her to the
baptism this Saturday that we are taking Fabrizzion to. :)
ANNND, haha... On the
way back from Odile's, we were waiting for a bus, right? Well, we took the
advice of Odile, and these guys we met at the fermata (Pino- and older Italian
man, and Aziz- a middle aged man from Morocco) to get on the first Cotral that
came. We did so, and... ended up being on the road to Napoli instead!
Holy cow, scary stuff... Well, we got off the bus in this tiny town with
old buildings and cobblestones at about 9.30 at night... Because we found
that we were not on the right bus. We called the APs who called president
who called us and eventually asked us, "Do you have investigators who are
coming to church tomorrow?" We responded that we would. He then
said, "I'm getting in my car." I seriously have the BEST, most
loving, awesome Mission President and Mission "Mom" in the entire
world! We took a bus to Anagnina (Roma 3 bounds) and they picked us up
around 11pm, bringing us back to Ostia. They are the best! And me
and Sorella Kimball realized that without the mistake we made, we would not
have been able to meet Pino and Aziz. Pino seems very interested in the
Gospel and wants to see us this week! :D And Aziz wants to give me a copy
of the Koran! That would be so cool! Pino has already called us and
we have Aziz's number! Vediamo, amici!
Sooo, other than that, we got to go
with Julissa yesterday (after we got to sing in church with the GANs-young
single adults) to see the Blas and Agomeri families :) It was soooo fun!
Especially since we got to sing the primary hymns together so the kids
there could practice for the upcoming mini concert they will have in church :)
It was tons of fun.
Well, I love you, famiglia!
And I hope all is well for you guys. I know that this church is
true and that the more I share my joy with other people, the more my joy grows.
Every day I see this joy grow, and I know that I am happy because I have
Jesus Christ in my life.
Alla Prossima Settimana!
Love,
Sorella Corey Anne Cherrington
