Find Someone

Ciao tutti!!!

2 nephi 32:4

Sometimes we don't realize the greatness we have before us. In nephi we are told to feast upon the words of Christ. But we cannot know of their truth if we do not ask and that's sad because we have the answers from our loving Heavenly Father right in front of our eyes but we can't see that light. Maybe we are too focused on the sadness the bitter things in life.

This week was hard for me and my companion. We got many flat tires, cancelled appointments, 50 minute walks home. Oh and best of all some witty teens calling us and saying they wanted to learn about the law of chastity. Lies. Ugh I was so mad. We had three really hard days all in a row.  But yet we still tried to find miracles. My miracle this past week was Sorella Lauren smith. 

I am grateful for her love during this hard week. We decided this was maybe the roughest week we have ever had before....but we move on with a smile. We decide to kick satan in the stomach by opening our mouths and continuing to try to be his instruments. 

One cool experience from this week. Well ok it started off quite dumb...we went to the  questura which is the place to do documents for being legally in Italy. (Yeah excuse my English....that is a struggle too haha don't remember the name in English of this place...but you get me) So we go in and we explain my companions situation which is complicated. Well we had to leave and call the mission office to figure it out. A cute senior sister in the office challenged us to give a pass along card to the man we were figuring this out with at the questura. I thought....well this guy is really upset with us so probably not. Which he was...he said he couldn't find her in the system and was very upset. Well at the end I decided to act on the challenge....I told him why we were in Italy and how we share a message of hope and that we believe Jesus Christ can help us! Well then all of the sudden he smiled. He completely changed. And he said he would watch the video we told him about online. 

Wow...it was incredibly cool to act on that challenge. I didn't know what would happen...or if he even watched the video...but I know that yeah we all have hard days...and maybe I caught him on a bad day. I know as daughters and sons and brothers and sisters of God we can help each other. Find someone to help his week. 

Vi voglio bene my family and friends!! 

Love Sorella skinner
