Ciao!

Ciao!

 

Ok, first off, I want to address some things you guys wrote before I forget. Yeah, that part of me hasn't been fixed, yet. :)

 

Anyway, Becca's mission call guesses: In-states: Arizona. Foreign: France. And then Esli's: In-state: Virginia. Foreign: I'll get crazy here and even call the mission, Milan, Italy. Mostly because of her last name, Amato, which means "loved". It's totally gonna happen. But DANG, they're going on missions! And Audrey's farewell is this Sunday! People are getting old all at the same time, what the heck! XD

 

And Cameron's birthday sounded awesome, I'm glad it ended well! That slingshot looks pretty dang crazy, careful with that. Only aim it at windows, not at people ;). I'm happy you had a fun time!

 

Oh, and Dad and Mom, y'all (it's easier to say that, there's a word for that in Italian, voi) can say your thoughts without saying that I already know them, or I might be bored, haha! I can PROMISE you that it's pretty near impossible, either way. I love y'all to death, and you know that. ;)

 

Enough emoticons and time to talk about the week: this week ended up being better than the last one, yeah. They really do come in waves! On Sunday, Anziano Esplin and I tried something new: doing a Scambio with some members in the ward to try to find more people AND to get them a little more into missionary work. Sorry, not ward, branch. Anyway, we did that for an hour after lunch, and I got to go with a guy named Gianpiero. He's great! We found this one old lady doing door-to-door, and they hit it off so well, and she was so receptive, we left her a Libro di Mormon and 2 pamphlets (mostly cause they were in the Libro di Mormon already that Gianpiero was carrying around, but she DID want them). It was great!

 

But the story didn't quite end there: these past few days I've been on a Scambio with an Anziano named Anziano Fossa (from Northern Italy, a city called Porteleon or something. He's awesome, too). We went back to the lady's house yesterday, and found out she's read one of the pamphlets already, and taught a nice little lesson. But THEN, we did house afterwards, and at the next palazzo, these people let us in really quick, and were super nice (but again, talked a lot. That doesn't happen as much here as it did in Messina, but it's still Italy). But it was better, I understood more. But after a bit, we found out that the lady was the DAUGHTER of the old lady, Lilliana! And not only that, but the daughter has a daughter who already comes to our English Course! OH MY GOSH! If that's not being guided by the Spirit, I dunno WHAT is! But they had already met with the missionaries before, and were totally down to have us come back.

 

Quite seperately, Monday night (still with Anziano Fossa) we found a family that had already met with the missionaries before, but had to stop because of what happened from the earthquake. But they were so NICE, there was so much LOVE between the parents and the kids, I'm PSYCHED. LET'S GO!

 

But yeah, everything here is good. A little bit of a better week than last time. :)

 

Gotta go. Ciao!
