KAYSVILLE, Utah — Bombs raining down on her head and other horrors of war fostered a disdain for Americans in the heart of Ivers Fuzari, who was a teenager living under the Mussolini regime in Italy during World War II.
An obvious question during a recent Church News interview with the bright, charming and faithful convert in her apartment was: How did the American missionaries get into her home — then in Petropolis, Brazil — to teach her family the gospel?
Not totally confident in her English, Fuzari did a pantomime. She stood up firm and erect and shoved her foot forward.
After she answered the knock, the missionary stuck his foot in the door?
She nodded. And what could she do, she said, but let them in.
