This week has been a good and successful week. My companion and I have been working very hard and diligently.
Everyday we've had appointments, one after the other. Some days we would walk for a long distance to get to a member's house and while walking we would stop and talk to people on the streets all the time and tell them why we are here.

One day, my companion and I went a blind date
There is a member of the church in our ward in Pescara who is blind and he invited us to go with him and his wife (who is also blind) to eat lunch with them and share with them a message about Jesus Christ. My companion and I enjoyed being able to help this couple by being their eyes for them, being their guide. We were also very amazed at how intelligent and talented they are to be able to be mostly independent by using their other senses to help them in everyday life. It made me think about the Savior's love towards them. Heavenly Father has given them talents and increased their senses so that they can live normal lives. I asked the husband about how he felt about losing his vision at a young age. He said to me that it was very hard for him but he had so much trust in the Lord that he was not afraid. He said that he knows the Plan of Happiness and knows that this life is temporary and that this is for his growing experience. I think this man taught us more than we taught him. He is facing a hard trial in his life and he still trusts in the Lord. He knows the gospel so well that he does not have fear and knows that this is temporary.
Another day we got invited over by our neighbors who live in an apartment across from us to have dinner with them. We have been helping the mom with her English and basically have been tutoring her and helping her understand her homework from her English class at university. She cooked amazing food for us, real Italian things that I can not remember the name of. It was so good. Her family was very cute and asked us questions about what we do as missionaries and who we are. They believe in Christ and that is just about all that they believe in. They do not go to church nor do they know much about other religions. We basically taught them the Restoration of the Gospel in little pieces and offered them a Book of Mormon. They accepted to have it and we shared a small scripture with them. We had such a great time with this family it almost felt like we were home.
We also went to a inactive member's house because she invited us over. She had had a dream that she was in the dark with her family and she was scared. When she looked up at the sky she saw Christ and he told her that she needs to start looking for Him again because if not now it will be too late. We then went to her house and we were supposed to get there in 30 mins but we got lost. The Relief Society president was driving us to her house but refused to follow the map. The person lives far from the city, we have been to her house before using the map but that day the map wasn't followed. We got to their house an hour later. We shared with them the story of Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ because some of Luisa's family members are not members of the church.
The week ended up very nicely. We had 4 new people in church this past Sunday and 2 inactive members also showed up. We then taught these 5 together the Plan of Salvation and they were all so happy! It has been a great week!
