Dear Family and Friends,
Yes the title of this letter is true. The city has found Salmonella in the water here but don't worry. We have been super careful to stay away from it. It has caused a lot of little problems such as the fact that we can't do our dishes with the water, take showers with it or even use it to brush our teeth. Luckily we were prepared with a stock pile of clean water but that is running low so part of our p day today will be going to get new clean water and finding it for free will be the fun part.
Anyway we are still working super hard here in Catanzaro. This past week we have been doing a lot of finding but also have been seeing some of the fruits as well.
This week we got a new person that is interested in the gospel from our English Course. He is a little bit older, about 65 but he has know the church for a while and he went to English course about 23 years ago once or twice. He recognized the white shirts and ties and came over and talked to us. He came to the course that night and has shown some great interest in the church. Anziano G******** did a great spiritual thought about the Book of Mormon and used the Mormon message of the Bishop in England to explain the Book of Mormon. This new man, Rosario is his name, was very intrigued and really wants to start reading it so we were able to give him one and invite him to do so. Unfortunately we were unable to get him in church but maybe next week. We really think he will hit it off with our Branch President because they are very similar and will get a long well in our opinion.
We also were able to meet with M***** the English teacher a couple of times this week. She is doing great. We did invite her to baptism this week and she responded very nervously, I think we messed up a little bit and caught her just a bit off guard but we were able to comfort her with our testimonies and our witness of the importance of following the Savior. She will be praying about her answer and we are praying that she will be able to receive it as well. We know that she will if she does it with "real intent"
This week was our district blitz as well. We did it on Saturday and we were all able to work really hard for the whole day. Crotone was very helpful and they had great attitudes about everything. We really love our district here!! I have learned so much from all of them about hard work and having fun. We really hope that the result of this blitz will help our work here in Catanzaro and help us to help others understand who they are and where the truth is and how they can accept our Heavenly Father and become His sons and daughters.
I know this work is being guided by our Savior and Jesus Christ and that there are miracles happening all around us each and every day. Thank you always for the support and love that you all give to me. I hope everyone is well and if not please know how many people are praying for you each and every day and that means me as well!! Have a great week!!
