Hello there. Due to an exploding faucet in our kitchen I'm a bit short on time. See attached picture. I'm thinking of sending it in to National Geographic.
Hmmmm. Exciting things this week... We're actually finding people to teach. That's been nice. One new investigator is from Eritrea, which apparently is a small African country whose native language is Italian! Go figure.
We're still working with our Venezuelan/Italian family. The wife is Venezuelan, he's Italian. She's a member, he's not. He was diagnosed with cancer a while back and has been going through treatments. The wife has been less active for quite a while, but now she's coming back to church with her sister who is visiting from Venezuela and pushing the whole thing along. They are a beautiful family and they are so nice. The husband is really loving the Gospel, really studying the Book of Mormon, and teaching their daughter to do the same. It's been difficult for him to come to church, but we're hoping that this Sunday he'll be well enough to do it.
Lately, we've been trying to go out and do a lot of work in the villages surrounding Varese. Every Italian city has a province surrounding it with cities varying from big to miniscule. We share most of the province with our sisters, so we've got a pretty big area. We've been trying to get out and do some finding/less active work there. It's been rewarding and we've gotten to see a lot of awesome things we wouldn't be able to see otherwise.
The focus is still big on the family. To my family members, I hope it's OK I'm using pictures of you to stop people. It's actually working decently well. Families can be united forever and it's important to know that!
Soooo sorry, but that's all I have to send today. Speaking of families, we're off to see a member family right now and help them set up a family mission plan. To all you Mormons out there, DO IT! Family mission plans are fantastic. If you're not familiar with the concept, ask your nearest missionary. He/She would be overjoyed to explain it to you.
All my love from Italy, Anziano Simcox
