First of all, sorry I've been kinda
lame on sending pictures. haha. My bad. I keep forgetting. But I am
taking them, so don't worry. Eventually you'll see what Ravenna looks
like.
As for Sorella Snow, yes. I do know her. She's been
trained by two of my favorite missionaries, both named Sorella Carter
ironically. haha. I guess when I see her next, I will tell her that
somehow we know who she is. haha.
I did know
about the big all of Italy fast on the 25th. Yeah, Italy is kinda lame
sometimes and Satan is working really hard to stop this temple, so if
you want to fast with the rest of Italy, you are welcome too. But I'm
technically not suppose to ask you to partake in special fasts, so I'm
not telling you to do it, I'm just telling you about it. haha.
That
sounds like a weird new rule in the NFL dad. But I guess they need to
get more precise. I figured Ohio state would win. Oregon kinda chokes a lot. Good news about BYU BB. Keep me updated.
And
since we are on the subject of worldly things, I got your package. The
AP's surprised me with it when they came down to scambio us. Which was
super fun by the way. When we were trying to rescambio, it was a huge
mess. Anz Cardullo got the cops called on him and his comp, because they
suoned the wrong house and this crazy guy lived there. Then we tried to
meet up and the GPS took us to the middle of nowhere, so we had to
change addresses and we ended up rescambioing in the middle of this
field on the side of this small road. It was pretty funny. haha. I love
the mission.
Last thing, so what is the deal with my license renewal? Do I have to do something special for that?
Also, I love when people send ME pictures, even though I'm lame at sending them. haha.
Alright, now on to the stuff that actually matters. haha.
This past Sunday
we were at church when all of a sudden one of our members came up to us
and asked us if we could come to his house that night to dinner,
because he had invited two nonmember families that he wanted us to meet.
We went over and when we showed up, unfortunately, neither of the two
families came. Our member apologized to us, but then a real miracle
happened. Another member family that was invited brought a friend! His
name is Giuseppe and after just starting a casual conversation before
dinner, he started telling me about his religious life and ideas and how
he was confused in his life. After dinner, we shared the story of
Joseph Smith and then we gave him a LdM and plan of salvation pamphlet.
He was very grateful for our gift to him and I tried to get his phone
number, but he wouldn't give it to me, but told me that we could contact
each other through the member family. The Lord still provided a way for
us to get a new contact, even after the first one fell through. Looks
like Heavenly Father makes backup plans too. haha
I
wanted to give you a report on our zone right now. We were very
concerned with our zone because in the month of Dicembre, we did not do
so great. But calling around the zone this week, there have been so many
miracles. This past week, our zone found 13 new investigators, which
doesn't sound like much, but that was more than half the number of
investigators we found last month. So that was a HUGE improvement. The
Rimini Sorelle in particular are doing an amazing job. They found 4 new
investigators last week and when I called them on Monday
night to congratulate them, they blew me away by telling me that they
had also found 2 MORE new investigators just that day. It was
incredible. They are doing such a great work. They are continuing to get referrals from members and are really building their teaching pool. As
you already know, the Ancona Anziani had 15 investigators in church this
past week, which was a huge miracle for them. I am very happy with the
zone right now. They are doing such a great job and are really pushing
their limits and seeing miracles as a result.
I
love this zone so much!!!! They are so awesome! It is such a cool
blessing to be able to travel around the zone and "rub shoulders" with
the other missionaries as dad says. haha. I'm really going to miss being
a zone leader. It's so much fun.
Another cool
little miracle happened last night when I was filling out our area
book. While I was filling out the teaching record for one investigator, I
remembered that I had given the daughter of that family a talk to read,
and I wanted to check up if she had read it, because a week or so had
gone past. So I texted her and she immediately texted us back telling us
that she was reading it right at the very moment. It was crazy!!! I'm
psychic!! She loved the talk, which was great, but I just thought it was
so cool that I got that impression to text her right at that moment.
Pretty cool, huh?
Well, there are always a ton
of things to say and not enough time, but please know that I love you
all and I thank you for your prayers and support!
Statemi bene!
Anziano Langlois
