Ostia Week 8

A small but strong week

On Monday we went and saw a cool church. It had statues of all the apostles and how they died. It was super interesting. In the evening we had a meeting with the anziani to go through our less active list and see who would visit who this transfer.

On Tuesday we went to visit a family that came to church on Sunday. They are not members, a friend invited them and they want to learn more. They wanted both us and the Anziani to come so that they could feed us. They are from Nigeria, and they made us fufu and gelof rice. It was really good. The lesson when really well.

Wednesday we had DDM. There are now two Sorelle in our district who don't speak English, so Now we do DDM all in Italian. That was fun. It helps you realize how much you actually understand of the language.  We talked about the importance of members in missionary work, and having a good relationship with the members.

Our corso is really starting to grow!! Both Tuesday and Thursday we had seven people there!!  The Anziani have been doing a lot of advertising got it. Also, summer is almost over, so everyone is returning home.

On Friday we went and saw Laura. We taught her about tithing. Normally her family is around when we teach. We prayed that they wouldn't be around for this lesson. Right after we got there, everyone left, and once we finished, everyone returned. It was wonderful!

We went back to visit the family again Saturday. This time it was just Sorella Bray and I. The family is super nice. It is a family of four girls. We taught them the plan of salvation. It went super well.

On a train ride to a new investigator's house.

On Sunday we went to church. It was great! Almost all of our investigators came to church! Church is so important. At church we have the opportunity to help strengthen each others do come closer to Christ. The most important part about going to church is the opportunity to take the Sacrament. During the sacrament we think of Christ and remember His atoning sacrifice for us. We also renew the covenants we made with Heavenly Father at baptism. The Sacrament is a sacred time to reflect on how we are currently doing and how we can become better. My invite to you all this week is to go to church. If you already attend regularly thing of how you can make the sacrament a more important part of your church attendance.
