He thought he just needed a knife....

Katelyn had some problems sending her group email out this week. Here is a story she sent her dad. We just had to share.

A cool experience. Ready?!?!!! So the other day we got to English class and there were 2 young men my age that walked in. Wait...this is not a romance story. Don't worry. Ok they are pretty attractive. One could use a hair cut but no...this story is a miracle. Ready? 

So they join in on our English class and then they ask us why we are here in Italy. And so we start explaining why it was really cool. They told us how they also believe in Christ and are Catholics.  This is rare to be a believer at 20. One of them fredrico said he was atheist but then converted to the Catholic Church. He said how he read the bible and decided Jesus Christ was real. I was super excited because after  we had family night. They asked us before....ok so what are your differences from the Catholic Church and similarities. THAT IS ANY ITALIAN MISSIONARIES DREAM QUESTION!!! Boom restoration. We decided to wait and say we would tell them in Italian though. We go to a different room with everyone and watch because of him the Mormon message and then we talked about Jesus Christ. They both talked about him for about 5 minutes each. INCREDIBLE. 

We bore our testimonies and then had to leave for another lesson. But you probably want to know how they got to English class. How did they find out? Well it wasn't through us or the elders.

His is a classic Italian story. They were out at a cafeteria and had bought sandwiches. They needed a knife though to cut the bread. So they knocked on a door on that street. Well that door just happened to be the door of our ward mission leader. Brother Ventura. He invited them in...gave them a knife...invited them to English class. Well they came!!!! And now hopefully the elders will teach them and they will get baptized. I feel it dad!!! They will get baptized. Incredible. God does miracles. He watches over his children. Fredrico thought he just needed a knife when really...he needs the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. 

I was so pumped about this!! I know the gospel is true. It is the biggest joy we have. Have a good week!
