ok well lets see here this week...alice we havent seen her but we did see Evelyn and she is super awesome!!! she is going to be baptized we invited her to be baptized the 5th of may and she said yes! without any hesitation she is super fun to be around she was really prepared for us to meet her! Alice we havent been able to see her but thats alright so 1 baptismal date and we did it on sunday in between conference sessions i only got to see sunday morning and it was in italian they didnt have any other sessions here in brescia...but yesterday we met with a kinda eternal investigator her name is laura and she loves to smoke but she committed to stop smoking by the 15th of this month and also to be baptized as well on the 5th of may!! so it was a great week so far!!!! then last night in the cold and rainy weather as it has been each day at about 7.30 i wanted to go in but i felt thats no example for the new elder so i held in and talked to everyone that came in my path!!!! we now will be visiting a man who is about 70 yrs old and another guy named atilio this evening who seemed very excited to meet with us!!! so we should be having another baptismal date her soon!!!
ok well lets see what to expound on...i know my mission!!! ok well my mission is coming to a close here very soon and fast! to many of you it may have seemed like i was just on a vacation and at times it feels like that to me as well. but its been great. i may never of been the assistant to the pres or other leading positions, or even of personally baptized anyone here on my mission to lots of people it may seem like a total fail of a mission that i went out and didnt do anything but just so everyone knows i have enjoyed my mission a whole lot i have had moments where i have worked super super hard and other moments where yes i was tired and gave into the natural man and didnt work as hard. but the mission has changed me! and thats all that matters to me yes it would be AMAZING to baptize evelyn and laura and whoever else while i am here in brescia but even if it doesnt work out and i dont baptize them. thats fine cause i know i did my hardest and working very hard to help them but we all have our free agency to choose to do or not to do. ive been having difficult moments lately thinking about this cause almost all the missionaries have baptized some one during there mission. but all that really matters is that if i change or not, and i feel i have learned many many things and have changed in many ways.
the mission is great and i love it! but im also excited to come home and put the things i have learned into practice and enjoy the other life! hahaha im not trunky dont worry...maybe just in my words but not in actions!!!! plus my companion reminds me each day of how much time i have left so its been starting to get to my head that im coming home!!!!
ok well thats all for the week!
stay well everyone
i will email yall next week!
love you all
