Rice Cake??

Ciao Tutti!!!

Last night we went to a less actives house. She is going through chemotherapy right now. We were starving and had only a light lunch. I don't know if she could hear our tummies grumbling but she offered us a rice cake. Sister smith and I were talking about how small a thing that was to eat but how much it meant to us that she would share. What can you give this week to be a blessing to others? A rice cake? 

Anyways....

 

Thanksgiving I spent it with a cute American family. 

We went caroling in downtown. We had a man come up and talk to us. Really he just wanted to argue. He told us that Jesus was a fake and that there wasn't an explanation for all these things. He told us to go look on the Internet and we would find the truth. Hahaha he wouldn't allow me to talk every time I said we believe...he shut me down. We ended the conversation when he said that I needed to open my eyes and I said "they are open." 

Helaman 8:24

24 And now, seeing ye know these things and cannot deny them except ye shall lie, therefore in this ye have sinned, for ye have rejected all these things, notwithstanding so many evidences which ye have received; yea, even ye have received all things, both things in heaven, and all things which are in the earth, as a witness that they are true.

That situation was hard but I know my savior lives. I know that he was born in Bethlehem and that through him we find peace. I know my eyes are opened and so is my heart! 

President Thomas S Monson said and quoted this scripture...

He who was burdened with sorrow and acquainted with grief speaks to every troubled heart and bestows the gift of peace. ‘Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid’ [John 14:27].”

Also we had these cute gypsy girls come to church and saw joy and Roberto again. Happy days!!! 

I hope you all have a great week and can find rice cakes to share and help people feel the love of their savior.
