A Miracle of a Week

So last Wednesday, we went to the Villa Borghese and saw many a classical statue and paintings and stuff. I guess we saw some pretty famous stuff. I didn't know until afterwards. I guess that goes to show how much of a simpleton I am. That was really cool.

Then we had a dynamite Saturday. Remember Riccardo, the really cool referral that we had from Milan? He was baptized. We had two baptisms on Saturday. One was an eternal investigator of the Assistants who decided to take the plunge. Riccardo is amazing. He had had a dream about meeting the missionaries, was baptized in four weeks after meeting them, and he has told us he wants to serve a mission. He is just an amazing guy. He is a sound technician working concerts and stuff, and he is a social butterfly - just talks to everyone and speaks Italian, German, and pretty good English. That was a great experience.

Sunday, we had a lesson with another investigator from Nigeria. He is doing really great and has a date set for the 11th of February. He is a really humble guy. He is doing great.

Last night we were doing park and talking to some people. We got a few good contacts and taught a lesson/got a new investigator. His name is Vladimir from Russia. He has lived in Italy for 6 years and speaks good Italian. He looks like a pretty promising guy. We have had some really good finding opportunities. Things are really blooming here in Italy.

Sorry for the short letter, but I am going to send a few pictures. I got my birthday packages by the way. Last Friday. I got a letter from Aunt Karen. Thanks for all the letters!

We went to the zoo today. That was really fun.

We saw a peacock with its feathers out. Awesome.

Yes, that chimp IS reading a magazine.
