Buon Mercoledì! - 3/12/14

Hey howdy hey my friends and family. Happy Wednesday.

This week has been quite the busy week. Now that the sun is out I think everyone is in a much better mood. We've been teaching a lot lately and we've been able to see many miracles.

We've been able to find some great new investigators. Two of them came to church a few weeks ago. They're a young couple from Bolivia. He's been here for a while, but she's only been here about a year. We had been trying to meet with them forever but we eventually stopped trying. Out of the blue, they came to church so we were finally able to set an appointment with them. They are a beautiful young couple who are truly interested in what we have to say and truly interested in growing their faith in Christ. Over homemade apple juice, probably one of the most delicious things I've ever drunk, we taught them about the restoration. It was an awesome lesson. The next day, he wasn't able to come to church, so she just went by herself! The members adored her and basically adopted her.

Our investigator David moved to Holland to look for work. It was really sad to see him go, but we're hooking him up with the missionaries there as well. Hopefully we'll stay in contact every now and then.

Oooh oooh. Other fun story. I taught a man named Joseph Smith. I'm not kidding. We were actually teaching his brother, but when we started talking about Joseph Smith he was in the other room and he said "I hear my name in there! What are you sayin'?" He came in and joined in the lesson. It was a funny moment, but it ended up being a good spiritual lesson and he listened because that was his name and in the end agreed to another appointment. Sadly, he lives outside of our area, so we had to refer him to the other Bergamo Elders. Last time I checked they're still teaching him.

I attached some pictures of the view from Città Alta. We went up there last week for P-Day. It's so beautiful. Everything is very old, but well-preserved. It was neat to step back in time for a little bit. 


Sorry to cut this email short, but time's up for now. Thanks for being awesome. I love you all! TTFN. Love, Anziano Simcox.
