And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

– Mark 8:34.

Hello!   So this week has been great! We've been learning alot, and trying new things! There is a new meeting that we have to do as Missionaries, Zone Meeting...we're all confused about what we're meant to do, I'm greatful I'm not running it, but it could really help, if it ever works the way it should!    So on monday we did an exchange, and I got lucky, I got the car :) I'd chosen a road to do house to house on the night before, and felt the Spirit confirm it. I went with my echange companion, and....it was empty. When I mean empty, there wasn't a house in sight, it was a farmers field. Wondering why the Spirit told me to go there, I started thinking of where I wanted to go next, when Anziano Jeter shouts "Casa mecca!" I look up and there's a bunch of big pilazzi in the middle of nowhere, obviously never been knocked before in a city with bikes. We go there, and after a little confusion with the satnav, we arrive at the pilazzo next to the one we wanted to do and accidently do that one instead. When there was only 20 minutes left of finding time before an appointemnt, we finally find someone interested! After a GREAT lesson, we leave with a lesson taught, a return appointment, two new Italian investigators, and a crazy dog that won't leave us alone!   It's so interesting how the Lord tries our faith. He always follows through with His promises, but sometimes he makes the situation look bleak, to show us how strong our faith in Him really is. I've learnt so much recently about faith, and also about sacrifice, the need to do it, and be willing to give up everything for the Lord. But more about that next week! Just remember, keep the faith, God always keeps His promises, no matter how bleak the situation!   I love you all,   Anziano Nelson
