Hello my Beautiful Family, As usual i used up much time emailing my mom and dad that i dont have a lot of time, which is a good thing, no? I want to tell you of a great experience we had on sunday night. We had zone singing in Piazza del Popolo in rome where we sang and talked to people that stopped. We had to leave early to make it to our dinner appointment with the Wanyama family. We got to their area at about 705 and our appointment was at 715. we waited at the bus stop for 45 minutes and come to find out that it is the wrong stop. The right one was down the street so we took that and got to the house. This isnt the experience but it leads up to it. Heavenly Father knew that we would miss the bus and knew that we would be home late so he put a woman in our path who was searching for this light and love. We met her on the metro on our way home. She came up to us and talk with the four of us. She is from California, doesnt speak a word of italian and is searching for God. We were able to teach a little and talk with her. She was so happy. She was starting to cry because she felt so alive, the spirit was very strong. She missed her stop so we told her to get off on the next and go the opposite direction she was a little confused so at the last minute i felt to go with her and see her to her stop even though we were going to be home very late. I am so glad that we got off with her on that stop because we found out a lot about her and her situation. She is so ready and prepared for this truth. We knelt on the dirty Metro station floor and said a prayer together. She held our hands and through out it she gradually squose with all of her might. She has 2 daughters (18 and 15) and an abusive boy friend. She is going to make a lot of life changing decisions and it wont be easy but it will be so worth it. We are very excited for her. I know that God loves each of us. He wants to bless us and does every day. He puts many things in our lives to bless us in the long run even if they seem to be awful to us they are exactly what we need. I love you all. Love, Anziano Brewster
