I'M AN AUNT!!!

And i'm in Italy... Now i get to go home to ugly old babies.. but i think i
would still choose to be in Italy.. Let's get real. It's not even a
question. I love these people too much.. SO usually when summer time hits,
the work dies.. but we are seeing the opposite, which is a huge blessing.
Tomorrow we have been invited to a Muslim families home.. We didnt even ask
them... So two weeks ago we were on the tram and i was talking to a man
from Nigeria.. he would not shut up so i could barely talk.. He just kept
telling me that what we do is not in line with the bible or Christ... what
are you saying?? Its the Church of Jesus Christ!!...it is literally His
name... So anyway, this man sitting accross the way goes 'hey, you really
need to listen and to go to the church.. i went and all they talk about is
Christ.. Im muslim, and i still went to go hear the word... all it is is
Christ.' that shut this other mans yapper up real quick... anyway so last
week we see this cool muslim guy again as we were walking home.. as we were
parting ways he said his address without us even asking and said 'i would
like to invite you over to my house to meet my wife and daughter'.. So
right now they are observing Ramadawn (i think thats how its spelled) So
they fast until past nine which is when we are supposed to be home... so we
called Pres.. and he said yes!! We just have to be home by ten.. I have
never heard of a muslim family inviting christians over to talk about
God... especially inviting us over for dinner.. MIRACLE?? I say yes.. He
literally is preparing the hearts of so many people.. It is the most
amazing thing to see... and when we go heavenward, and really discern the
needs of these people with the powers of heaven, it opens up the door.. Not
only to their homes, but into their hearts.. I have seen a difference in me
this week when i really seek the power of the Spirit in this work to know
what to ask and what to say.. Its amazing... One sentence of truth can be
the thing that touches them... like with these two woman from Bolivia
Sunday.. We explained the Restoration and they said thank you but we are
catholic... and then out of nowhere before they left, i told them about the
promise in the back from Moroni... and that allowed us to set an
appointment with them for Saturday to give them the book so they can see
for themselves.. Thats why i love this work.. I donnot force or drag.. we
invite.. And we invite with a backed up promise.. Its nice to know that we
are not working alone. This weeks been great... i made a cake of death for
an Anziano Diego in our district... can you say cookies and cream cake....
i bet one piece was about as bad as a piece of cheesecake from the
cheesecake factory.. sooo good. Well love you all! Have a good week! Seek
the Lord in everything... because He is just sitting there waiting to give
you the answer... This week i continue to think of the story in the New
Testament where they lower the man with Palsy through the roof to get to
our Lord.. It makes me think, what would i do to get to Him.. He is sooo
accessible to us if we just ask for His help. (:
