Almost 4 Months


this last week has been a long one, but luckily we have been able to focus oon a lot more of the investigators that really are willing to listen to us. i hope that everyone is doing good at home. it would be great to hear how things are going! savannah was able to send a few of erins wedding pics in the last email!! they looked great!! we found out the other day taht after a million years of asking they are going to let us missionaries go to the temple...our zone is going to get to go november 11th and i am so excited!!! it is going to be great! haha this week we had some funny experiences....being here i have met quite a few catholic priests, and usually they are nice haha, but we were knocking doors the other day and this man came out was like i´m a missionary too and didnt want to listen to us so we asked him if he had heard of the book of mormon and we invited him to read it, but he refused and we asked him if he knew anybody that could benefit from our message and he said no then got all angry and was like if i told you someone to help then you would be working for the catholic church and he was like these are my people...haha but we just kept testifying to him of the truth and that we were there to lend service to everyone, doesnt matter what there religion is, we have met so many other priests and other people like him...thats always the best when they get all angry and dont want to listen to us, i have learned to have patience with them, and to maintain our testimony of the truthfullness of the restored gospel....i never would have thought i would have been confronted by other priests and teachers of other religions, but its interesting how many different types of people we find everyday in there homes
sorry this is short, hope you like the pics...
love, gioia
