We love the work we do here in Bari. The young missionaries are amazing and set a good example for us. Teaching about the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ is what we love to do and what our mission is all about--along with a fair bit of service too! We have a district meeting with all 10 of us missionaries every Tuesday morning and after the meeting we all usually head over to a close Panificio for panini. They love us there because we come so often--anyway, they gave us a whole bunch of apples that they were going to throw out--perfectly good but a bit bruised so I told all the missionaries I would bake them some apple crisp. I went home and Chris got busy peeling and we whipped up 6 batches of apple crisp. We delivered them to each household and to the panaficio shop as they provided the apples. I told one set of missionaries to be on the street and we would be by in 10 minutes to drop off apple crisp to them. I shot the next two pictures of them teaching someone on the street while they waited for us to pull up. Anziano Cannon and Anziano Haws. No time wasted for them! So proud of them.
One of my many favorite Sorelli is Sorella Torres. She was born in Venesuela and moved to Milan when she was young and she speaks very little English. The other Sorelli are teaching her. This is a picture of her teaching the English class to Italians. I thought it was pretty funny that she was doing that when she speaks so little English. She did amazingly well! Always adapting to any situation...
Once a week we go to Molfetta to teach Samuel--always along the Lungomare (long sea--coast). We always bring a picnic lunch and feed everyone. He writes songs and this time he brought along his guitar and sang a few for us. All his songs are Christian based and beautiful.
