PALERMO, WEEK 8: 
I DREAMED OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS

I dreamed of a white Christmas. And that is exactly what I got! 

Not only did I get the chance to talk to my wonderful family. I also got the chance to partake in changing someone's life. 


His name is P*. He is anemic and is really fragile but everyday he is a little bit better. He was in the hospital about 4 weeks ago for 12 days. During this time, the Sisters visited him and started to teach. He then got discharged and didn´t have the opportunity to tell the Sisters that he was leaving and to wear. So starting about 2 weeks ago he prayed for the "The people teaching the same religion" to find him again. The next day we were visiting a building that had a lot of old investigators and we were having no success. We always asked for references though and three times three different people said, "the man on the first floor in the third habitation, has been praying for you I think." So we went there and he wasn´t there. We returned three more times and finally met him. 2 weeks later he was baptized. And confirmed. It is really amazing. He also found out that when skyping his family in Peru, they also were members of the same church just recently baptized! What a blessing it was! 

It was a great opportunity and a wonder insight to see the hand of the Lord preparing him and his family and also do be the Lord´s servant to bring him to the waters of baptism.
