This week we didn't see a lot of lessons with investigators, unfortunately. However, we did have another lesson with Antonio and Fabiana, and after the english part, we got to talking about Elder Ballard coming to Rome the next day, and they wanted to come see the transmission at the church, but they and their family are currently remodeling the house, so they said if they could finish up early enough that day, they would come. However, they said they would like to come to General Conference.
From what we heard from our ward mission leader at correlation yesterday, the father of the missionary in the ward, who we met with him once (Salvatore Ibba) came to the transmission with his companion. We haven't heard from them, but Fratello Locci met with them afterwards and talked a bit. So that's pretty cool.
This past week with studying, I've continued studying by searching for the Lord being referred to in the scriptures, and then looking into other things. Recently, I've put more emphasis into memorizing the Missionary Handbook. [President had given this as an assignment last conference, but was really cryptic about how much to memorize. Gulp.] At this point I'm mainly focusing on memorizing the sections and the scriptures that go with them, and then seeing how the scripture relates to the section. It's cool to see some correlations that I've never noticed before, how the scriptures apply directly to the mission rules. I feel like it's helping me be able to see more in my personal study from the scriptures.
Thanks President!

Ho dang, there's a lot of stuff to write about here, from questions alone. Where do I start?
Let's see, Elder Ballard was really inspirational. He had a meeting
with the missionaries at 8 in the morning, and talked about the work
specifically in the mission here. One thing he said that the thing that
would be best for the work would be to work with the youth, cause we can
relate to them easier. I kind of sighed with relief at that one.
Sometimes old people here are really,....... angry, let's say. Or just
flat out rude. Or they talk a lot but conversation goes nowhere. Oh, old
people.
But ok, Sunday was nuts. The assistants had bought our tickets to
Rome early in the week, but then later in the week they learned Elder
Ballard wanted to meet with the missionaries at 8. The tickets they had
bought worked, however, because our flight left at 6:30. Arrived at
7:30. Which means we had to get to the airport 5:30. All 18 missionaries
on the island. Which meant we start moving people with the 2 cars on
the island at 4:00. Which meant we woke up at 3:00. I'm amazed I stayed
up the whole day. But then we had a flight back to Sardegna at 4:00 and
5:30 (two different groups). And the planes were delayed by a lot. It
was a looooooong day. But really good, and I'm trying to apply a lot of
what I learned.
But yeah, we're doing good over here. It's dang hard setting up
appointments with people, so basically the only people we're
consistently meeting with are Antonio and Fabiana. But they're tight,
and really great people! Fabiana even gave a closing prayer last time,
so they really are trying too!
Sorry, having a hard time thinking about what to write right now.
Didn't think about it beforehand. But this week has been good, and we
did a lot. Oh! This morning, I found something that I really want to
look at in studies. I have never figured out the organization of the 70,
or the Area 70's. So I've started looking into that a lot more. D&C
107 is great for that.
Well, love you all!
Ciao ciao!
