This week was very interesting, we had this guy from Nigeria call us and said he had to see us. So we set up an appointment with him and we watched the Restoration with him. After he looked at us and said, "I am touched in a way I cant describe" we set a bap. date with him the following appointment for the 17 of April, but we are going to try and get it for the 13 of March. He is so ready. Holy cow!
We also had an appointment with that family. Unfortunately the husband and the daughter had to leave, but the son and the wife stayed and listened to us. We taught the Restoration again and she about cried again. The Son, is you typical 18 year old how doesn't care about a lot of things. Especially about religion. The Mom was actually worried about him. Anyways, he stayed and listened to us. Then I felt a strong impression to bare my testimony on the BoM. So I did and shared an experience I had. Immediately after he said, "Well, jeez! I want to read the BoM now!!!" So I pulled one out and gave it to him. He was in total shock. He acted like I just handed him a Million Euro check.
I cant believe that I'm half way. I still feel like a young punk in the mission that doesn't know anything. haha I honestly really cant put into words what I feel right now. Realistically it just feels like any normal day. I'm here in Bologna for P-Day. (where I got Moms scarf and Carlin's hat) I have done a lot of traveling this past month and am waiting for Reimbursements to come in so, if you see some money taken out, no worries I will have that cash in hand within a week or so.
We got a new sister in our District. She is from Italia! She is way awesome! Very energetic and pretty attractive. We have a war going on. Me vs. the Sisters They claim that they can make better food than I can. I think not! I told them that I have a brownie recipe that would crush them. So........Mother.......there is no caramel here in Italia....I need the Caramel recipe....enough is enough!!! They will understand very soon that an American Man CAN cook! (Please don't tell me that I need a mixer ie. Kitchen Aid) :( I hope not
Well, I love you all and miss you all a lot! One more year you guys! One more year...I got to make it count! I love you mom!
DREW, ANZIANO MERRILL
