Hello Everyone!
This week last week has been pretty good, a little crazy with trying to work between two areas, but still good! So there are a lot of refugee families living in Rome and Utica that are members of the church. It has really put into perspective how the gospel is being shared and accepted all over the world!! And I get to be a part of it!

We had
such a cool random thing happen to us last week. It snowed like 6 inches just a
few days ago so we went and shoveled some of the older members driveways. One of
the members came out and would not let us leave with out taking 10 dollars from
her to go and get hot chocolate. Later that night we decided to go to Wendy's of
all places to go and get hot chocolate. Before we even sit down this guy
recognizes that we are LDS missionaries and starts asking us where we are from,
I was expecting him to start ripping into us about something. He actually said
that we had some quote "stones" for coming out on missions. He remember a few
years back that a couple of missionaries had help his mom out at a red cross
during Christmas time and how he really appreciated what they did. The
conversation changed to what we did before we came out and if we played any
sports. Turns out, the guy is a huge hockey fan, and my comp, who happens to be
from Canada, also loves hockey. My comp pulls his chair over to this man and his
families table and starts talking about hockey. After about 10 minutes out of no
where he starts talking about religion and wants to know what we believe that is
different from the Catholics. We pretty much taught him the 1st lesson in the
middle of a Wendy's! We are going over to his house later this week to help him
put up Christmas lights and teach him more! I am convinced that this little
chain of events happening was inspired from the get go! It just goes to show
that the Lord knows what he is doing when he puts certain people in certain
areas!
