Happy Easter!! Lots here in Italy are excited about this holiday! And so am I. I know that Christ lives. He is the way home. There are no short cuts. I thought of the Dora Explorer...cant go over it, cant go around it, got to go through it. There are those hard days but we know the way home! How lucky are we to have a direct path home!
John 16:33 Because of Christ we can have JOY! Real joy!
Here is a cool thing that happened yesterday day. This is what I sent to President. Also another random cool thing. We talked to a nun. She thought we were Catholic and said she would love to work with us sometime and gave us her address. How cute and awkward but we are thinking about passing by!!! Cant you tell this woman is a nun??
President Dibb,
Miracoli: This week was great visiting families and telling people about this great video! Because He lives. It has been fun following up on them as well and showing that we really care about this. The coolest miracle we saw this week though was Virginia (a new convert) and her mom (nonmember). We traveled an hour and a half to see them through bus. She is French and has lived in Italy for 20 years now but has a rough time speaking Italian but speaks English pretty well. We got to know her this visit and talked about seeing Gods hand in our lives and knowing we cant do anything without Him and Christ. She talked quite a bit but had an amazing spirit about her and has seen the influence the church has had on her daughters. She is so ready for the gospel! I usually dont cry in lessons but there was something special in this one.
We also felt the prayers of our loved ones especially yesterday as we met many great people through auto bus! We met Bimbo and Mary who are Africans. They have been in Vicenza now for just 6 months and have been looking for a church they said but couldnt find one (probably meaning the right church haha). They said they want to come and worship with us this Sunday. Sorella Back and I will try to fix a appointment with them right away so they can come to General Conference this weekend!
Ok end of email...then there was also the cutest quote from Virginias mom. As she was talking and I felt of her great spirit I said...
You are just so great!
She responded: I am not great. I am nothing and its never felt so great to be nothing. (with the greatest laugh after)
I know what she meant. We are nothing...but nothing without our Savior or God. We have divine potential but only with their help! We are like pieces to a puzzle (go ahead laugh Ave--I will marry a 70 year old because I like puzzles). God knows our shape and where to place us. If we trust in Him we can fit right into this puzzle!!
Love you all! Happy Easter. Please watch BecauseHeLives if you havent already.
Love Sorella Skinner
PS This is my I am nothing selfie but nothing has never felt so great!!!!!!!!!
