Snowday

Well, I am super jealous of all the snow that most of you are experiencing. Luckies. It's about 60 degrees here today, so I'm pretty sure it's not going to snow. Too bad it had to be on a Saturday, huh students and teachers? Thanks for all of the beautiful pictures you have sent!

Yesterday, Chad and I participated in our first Saturday Distribution. I was not sure what to expect! A lot of members met at the church building in the afternoon and we all folded fliers that told about Jesus and about the church of Christ. Then, we went out into the streets. At first I was nervous that someone was going to throw a flier back in my face, or at least ask me a bunch of questions that I didn't know how to answer in Italian. To my surprise and relief, it ended up being a wonderful evening! We split up into pairs and I had the pleasure of being partnered with an older member named Stefano. I won't even try to spell his last name now. We went to the busiest street in Catania, faced opposite directions, and handed fliers to people walking toward us. After a few minutes, I really got the hang of it. You don't have to be pushy, people just take the fliers when you hold them out! I felt like I was telling every single person that walked by about Jesus. It was great!

Today, Charlotte wore a lovely little blue dress to church. I am sharing this because it was one of the cutest things I have ever seen. It was blue and cream and she had teeny tights to match.
