Family and Friends, I had the neatest experience on Monday. i dont know if you all know but during my first transfer my crown broke so i am in the process of fixing it. On monday i was leaving Ostia to go to Rome for my dentist appointment. I am so glad that Heavenly Father knew that was where we were going and that he put a man in our way. The metro arrived and as it passed i saw Claudio. He waved to me and i ran to his section of the train. We met him 2 weeks ago, exactly and gave him a book of mormon and taught him on the metro, outside of the station and while walking to his house. He gave us his number and wanted to meet with us but we called many times and his phone was always off. So i talked to him on the train and he was so happy. I saw a great change and i didnt know what it was. Guess what? He read the whole book of mormon in 2 weeks. He finished that sunday night at midnight. He also compared all of the references to the bible. We were on the metro for about 45 minutes and the whole time he talked to me about the teachings of the book of mormon, stories, references, everything. I was so amazed. We met with him later that night because he wanted to talk to us that bad. We had many challenges that night so we werent able to teach a sit down lesson but we did that yesterday. He wants to be baptized once he meets more of our members, comes to church, learns more about it, and is ready to take on this great responsibility. He is incredible. It took me 1 year and 1month to read the book of mormon, and he probably understood much more than i did. I prayed so much in gratituted. I know that God answers our prayers this is one example. I love my Savior. I know that He lives. I love you all. Love, Anziano Brewster
