This has been a very good but also very difficult week for Elder Paravicini and I. Despite having our agendas full with plans we had very few lessons this week because everybody cancelled on us. We ended up walking a ton this last week. Between Friday, Saturday, and Sunday we walked 15 miles at least but it was fun.
Another difficulty was we decided to stop visiting one of our investigators, Sharol, that was going to be baptized this month. She hasn't been progressing this last week or in the last month for that matter and although it is hard to stop visiting someone we know it just isn't her time right now.
However, the good thing is that we did see an amazing miracle this week that makes up for any trials or hard times. This last week we contacted two young men and their mother in the Street. We talked with them and as we started to describe that we are missionaries they said they know who we are and what we do. A bit surprised we kept talking and learned that these two boys were recieving lessons from the missionaries years ago when they lived in a different Ward and were just about to be baptized. However, after they moved they lost contact with the missionaries until we contacted them. These two Young men, Renzo and Sebastian, are amazing. They already have a testimony of the restored góspel and are eager to be baptized in these upcoming weeks. They have even told us that they would like to serve their own missions. They came to church yesterday and the Young Mens leaders helped us out a lot by making them feel welcome. This last week we have had the chance to teach them twice and they have also gone to a few of the Ward activities that our Ward had this last week. I love these two kids like family despite having just met them and I am so happy for this time I have to be working with them.
Also I would like to thank you guys so much for the support you give me, there are hard weeks in the mission but you help me in ways you don't even realize. Love you all, hope to hear from you next week!
