It's another P-day once again, and the first week of the new transer! ...My third! I'm so glad to be staying here in Milano with Sorella Soh. We have so many great things coming up including two baptisms and a lot of other wonderful investigators and members we're working with. I love the ward here so much. On Sunday we did a special missionary sacrament meeting where all the missionaries in the ward gave short little talks, along with President Wolfgramm, and we did a special musical number of I need the every hour. Sorella Soh and Anziano Herrington sang, I played violin, and Sorella Lynch played piano. Afterwards we had a swarm of members come up to us wanting us to come visit them this week along with the ward mission leader and one of our part member families wanting to set up appointments. It was crazy, but definitely a great success! It was such a great opportunity to bear testimony to the ward and become closer with them.
We're staying busy this week with Jennifer's baptism on Saturday along training meetings, member appointments, seeing other investigators, plus finding work. Yesterday we went to see one of our part member families who we talked to about prayer and learning how to recognize answers from the Holy Ghost. It was such a powerful lesson and we were really able to see how we can continue helping their whole family come unto Christ and be more united in the gospel. I love being a part of that process by sharing my testimony and learning others' testimonies and experiences as well! I espeically love hearing all the testimonies of people in the ward. On Sunday we went to have lunch with a family who's sister is becoming more interested in learning about the church. She had a lot of questions which we were all trying to answer, but what really brough it home is when one of the members just bore her testimony about when she was converted to the gospel and how she has never had any doubts since. It gives me so much more respect and understanding for people when I am able to hear their experiences about the gospel!
This week I am reading the part in Alma about the conversion of the Anti-Nephi-Lehis. I continue to be amazed at what a humble and powerful missionary Ammon is. He preaches the gospel to an entire nation of Lamanites who all become converted and still gives all of his thanks and praise to God. He is one of the biggest examples to me of the right reasons for doing missionary work-to help people experience the same joy and love of God that we can feel from the gospel!
Well, I hope you're all staying warm on the Iceburg! And congratulations to Ceci for getting to quarter finals in the debate tounament! That's awesome! Did she get my picture with the can of ceci beans? :) Well, alla prossima settimana! Vi voglio tanto tanto bene!
Love,
Sorella Lyman
