Hello! So this week....wow. A lot of new experiences! The one I want to speak about is what happened Monday. We have a Baptism coming up, and the investigator called me, they'd had a bad day, and wanted to back out of the Baptism. My companion got the gist of the conversation and started having kittens. We were on the other side of Reggio at this time from our investigator, so I spent the whole time trying to calm down my companion. The Sorelle had told me to keep her as unstressed and calm as possible, and that was my game plan. She didn't need two panicky and stressed Anziani turning up on her doorstep. It was one of the longest rides I've ever done. Trying to simultaneously calm down my companion, slow him down, and figure out what our game plan was going to be. We arrived, prayed, discussed our game plan (literally, just be all smiles and laughter) and went in. I saw the investigator, smiled, and just started talking. It was a bit surreal, and I'm sure I didn't think of any of the things I said, it just came out. By the time we left, she was complaining that she had to wait for the Gift of the Holy Ghost. I have no idea how but the situation just completely reversed itself. It's so interesting how much a smile does for people, and what the Holy Spirit can do. He just turned everything about and made the situation from bad to being the best ever! Remember to smile when things go bad, because it does things that gives you a reason to smile! It really works!
