Ask and Ye Shall Receive

A big week here in paradise, Patrizia got baptized and it was super spiritual. I don't remember if I've said anything about Patrizia but her story is good enough to tell again and it highlights the power of prayer. At the start of the transfer I was saying my nightly prayer and felt prompted to specifically ask to be directed to someone who we could help get baptized that transfer. The next day we were in church waiting for these two high schoolers to show up and patrizia walked in and asked if she could become a member of our church. We taught her and ended up passing her to the sisters but it was just an honor to be a part of her conversion story.
Home boy Luigi brought his friend Gianni to the baptism and they really liked it. Gianni has been really interested and likes our church a lot. Hopefully he can make some movement as well. We were supposed to move about 2 months ago into a new house but problems just keep coming up pushing the move further and further back. We should be moving this up coming week into the new house and finally be able to stop living out of our suit cases.
We got to see a lot of people this past week. Our boy Kelly got referred to us by a member who plays soccer with us. He's excited to learn about the church and should be getting baptized soon. The cincottis had us over and we had a nice time with them and Simone. We are excited for all of the new investigators that we're been finding and it seems like the summer time has been giving us lots more success. Everyone wants to be outside, right where we can find them ha.
Vi voglio bene
