This week was truly great. We wave been focusing our time on finding new investigators and it has been going really well. We decided to use our English course as one of our main sources because we have only had about 5 students recently, so this week we flooded Bitonto with "Volantini" or advertisements for our free English course and they have shown some real promise. Tons of strange people having been calling us as a negative result of these posters but it's alright! One person even started talking in Albanian thinking that we would have no idea what they were saying, but it turns out my companion is actually from Albania! It completely shocked the person who tried to prank call us and they just screamed and hung up, hahaha! Also this week we have been having a lot of fun on the streets when finding, for some reason little kids always think we don't speak Italian which is great and they start talking to us in English or a kind of English and that is when we invite them to come learn real English! It's really great! Well other than that we had three lessons this week, I have learned though this week that we can tell people all day long which things are true and which things are not true but unless a person has the real intent to find out the truth and then act on what they learn, nothing will ever change. We can teach the truths but without the Spirit, a person will never be converted. I love being a missionary and being a representative of Jesus Christ! There have been times already where my knowledge has been tried but I can never pretend that I haven't seen the the guidance and help from Heavenly Father when I am in need! Well to everyone who is wondering, my Italian is improving and I can understand and speak most things I want to say to people. My companion and I are getting along alright and the work is starting to move a bit with the help of our members! As Thanksgiving approaches I think even more about all of the many things I am grateful for! Thanks for all of the letters this week and all of the support!
