500 Days of Summer.....Day...76

Hello EVERYONE! We are doing really well here in Cuneo. Heat.....I dont know what that is beccause it has been nice and cool here! I have enjoyed that very much. the hottest it has gotten was 30 degrees celcius. Which is not hot at all. I love it when I see people complaing about the heat here because they dont know what heat is. Anyways, we had a crazy week like always. We finally found someone who would listen to us!!! Her name is Gladys. She is from Nigeria. We went through all of the contacts, the people who we or other missionaries have talked to in this area, and started to call tons of people. We called Gladys and she agreed to meet us the next day. She then told us about her story. Aparently she met the sister missionaries about 9 months ago and was really excited about our church. however, she was about to go Nigeria so she couldnt come. So the sister missionatries got the address for the church in Nigeria. When Gladys was there she was robbed and lost everything and was stuck in Nigeria for awhile. And had no way to contact the church. She finally was able to return to italy and not been here for too long..about a month, when we called her and she was ready to meet with us. When we meet with her she asked us about baptism and how she was willing to be baptized and wanted to join our church. At that point we were pretty excited! So we have lots of work to do with her and we are pumped. other than that, we still have to find people. Something fun we have been doing is going around with a white board with a question written on it, which helps the people open up more. Its really fun and its a great way for us to talk to more people. Its also really funny to watch the people stare at us as we walk by. I dont have tons of time because we are using the computer in church right now and we can only go one at a time. the internet place we usually go to is closed to ferie. ferie is a time when EVERYONE goes on vacation and EVERYTHING closes. Its amazing how fast it happened. one day everything was normal and the next day everything was closed! I am doing great. We have transfers next week and there is a gopod chance that my companion could go which means I could get another companion. .....Again......Anyways...Love you all! Have a great week! P.S USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA Winning medals!!!!!
