"the trial of your faith" and how it relates to missionary work. How
you may be doing everything right but everything seems to be going
wrong. How God knows you and loves you and how we have these trials so
that we can grow and become a better person one day. It was really
cool. Then we had lunch and then after lunch me and Anziano Mercado
went to the airport, got on a plane and went to Sicily ha-ha surprise!
He had to go down for his permission of stay. So, we went down there and
we got there late but we stayed in Palermo is was so cool to see that
fit again.
Wednesday. So this morning we had to get up super early and go to my
companions first city which is "Agrigento". It was a long and slow
train ride but we made it. It was nice to see Sicily again. We got
some gelato and what not. It's a really beautiful city. The only problem
is that there are so many hills all over the place. Everywhere you go
is uphill. Crazy. Later in the afternoon we went back and we just so
happened to get off the train at BAGHERIA! I was so pumped to go back.
We had dinner at the Saccones and Lorenzo came with Marco! It was a
party but it was so awesome to see all of them again. They are so
great! Then we stayed the night in Bagheria.
Thursday. So this morning we had to wake up early again. Went to the
airport, got on a plane and came home. It's a fast flight too, only 50
min. It's like you get up in the air and then you just come right back
down. But we made it back. We came back to the church and my old
companion Anziano Ferrin was there!! He came up to Rome with all the
other people in Malta for a conference so I saw him. Then Thursday
night we went to go see Abraham to make sure everything was good for
his baptism. He is so ready and we are so pumped for him.
Friday. So this morning we had planning but after planning we had TACO
FRIDAY! The other Elders came over and we made tacos for lunch with a
homemade salsa. Man it was a good time. I miss good American food ;)
ha-ha Anyways after taco Friday we went to the church and made out the
programs for Abrahams baptism. We also starting working and doing a
lot of less active stuff and figuring out what we are going to do
after Abraham is baptized and stuff. So we worked on that, had English
course and then we went home.
Saturday. So this morning we went to the church for a lesson but our
homeboy didn't show up so to celebrate the baptism we are going to
have we went to Hard Rock Cafe again! Man it was so good. We walked in
and they were playing Taylor Swift so I wasn't going to complain. I
had a fiesta burger and it made me happy. Ha-ha Then we went back to
the church and started getting ready for the baptism. Everything was
set up. People started showing up and then Abraham showed up. We
started. I baptized him :) and it was so awesome! I feel so blessed to
be a part of all of it. It was great to see him and I'm so proud of
everything he has done. He is a really awesome guy. Anyways, so we had
a baptism today. Doesn't happen that often so that was good.
Sunday. Translated all three hours again. Abraham got confirmed in
church. Everything went smoothly and it was good. Later in the day we
tried to go see Bishop but the bus we take went a different way than
usual so then when we finally got to the connecting bus stop to go to
his house there was like tons of people and no busses. The stop we had
to go to is by the Rome stadium and a game had just got over. So no
busses came. It sucked. So instead of seeing Bishop we went and saw
Abraham. Well, we tried ha-ha he wasn't home so we just went home and
cleaned the house ha-ha but that's the week :)
