Well, hello!
This week has not been
the craziest of weeks. But, as always, great! :) Easter Sunday we had lunch
with the coppia Capece, and it was delish! And then, before we were about to
leave, Sorella Capece put something in front of me... OREOS! I had mentioned to
them how much I used to love oreos back home... how they're basically my
favorite cookie (next to a soft, chocolate chip, of course), and you can find
oreos at maybe 1 supermercato here... and they go shopping there, sometimes.
So, they bought me some! They're the greatest! :) I loooove them!
Also, lets see, there
was an American in church on Sunday! Actually, there were a lot! (Pres.
Wolfgramm and his family were in Siena for Easter, also another couple from the
states, and then this other guy who I am about to talk about). Basically, his
name's Michael. From Washington (or D.C. - I don't remember), and he
studied opera? So he sang some awesome song during sacrament meeting. Speaks
Italian like a boss. But, didn't serve a mission here (served in Scottland),
but this kid still speaks Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, French... I may have
made up a couple of those, but basically a zillion latin-based languages... and
he didn't even serve a mission in any of those places! What talent, right?
Maybe when I get off my mission I'll be able to pick up languages like that...
:) Haha.
Also, we've gotten a
zillion potentials this week. We'll see how they all turn out! :)
Also also, sometimes I
forget that there's life after the mission... as in, "You mean I won't
wake up at 6:30, and go to bed by 10:30 every day for the rest of my life...?
Che cosa?" It's weird, that missions eventually end. But then I
remember that I have my "Il Volo" cd waiting for me at home, and
everything's just great :) Hahaha.
Soo... here's a
miracle for this week! So, last week we stumbled upon this older couple during
casa (Addriana e Vinicio), they were very nice, they let us in, and we started
talking to them for a little bit. We found out that their daughter had given
them a BOM some years ago (the daughter isn't LDS, but she went to the USA a
while back, and she came back to Italy with a BOM, which she gave to her
parents). Well, the older couple wasn't super excited to learn about the
gospel, so we didn't get a return appointment, but they said we could come back
whenever we wanted to stop by. Well, we decided to stop by the other day, and
they were more than happy to see us. Then they said they had talked to their
daughter, about how they had met us, and then they told us that the daughter
wants to meet us (figlia: Roberta - good name, right dad? Haha)! They called
her up right then and there (she lives close by), but she was already winding
down for the day, in her PJs, but we set up a day to come back, and meet with
all 3 of them! I don't know exactly what kind of contact their daughter had
with the church/how she got a BOM, but we are crazy excited to meet with all of
them! :) How awesome?
Also, who's excited
for General Conference coming up!? Oh man, I can't wait! The only bummer is,
here in Italy we can't ever watch the 4th session (it plays here about 10pm).
We could always go back and watch it, and we can always read about it, but we
don't watch it live. Oofa. But, it's whatevs. Haha :)
Also, we saw our
member Luca again, the other day! He's a boss, he's becoming one of my favorite
people here! He's super sarcastic sometimes - talking about il Piano di
Salvezza, and how we all chose to come here, to which he responds, "No I
didn't choose to come here, I was tricked. Someone told me, "Hey look down
there!", then they pushed me..." Haha.
Well, there's really
not a ton to talk about for this week. We're going to an old castle, that's
supposedly haunted today with the coppia Capece! I'l be sure to get pictures of
that :)
Also, Sorella Seare
and I are very unhealthy eaters. Hahaha, not really, we're pretty good. But,
sugar/chocolate... bad idea. Easter, we got a chocolate pie type thing
(delish), oreos, and chocolate eggs... all of which are already gone! Haha.
Whoops!
And, well, I can't
think of much more. Sorry, this is super short this week.
Oh! We knocked the
door of this awesome Australian girl, and taught her! It was funny, at first
she said where she was from, but I heard Austria, so we just kept speaking
Italian. Then halfway through, she mentioned something about English, and we
realized she was Australian! Haha. So, we spoke in and out of Italian/English.
She's awesome, we haven't been able to go back and see her yet, but we hope to
soon!
And, I'm just super
excited for this weekend - Zone Training! I looove trainings, meetings, all of
it! You just learn oodles. Well, y'all are great. Watch the last session of
Conference thinking of me... haha.
Thanks for the updates
dad, and always for the little pictures of Tanner-man. Take zillions of pictures
at Adam's wedding! Punch Elisabeth for already being pretty fluent in the
Spanish language, for me... I would love to be 100% fluent! Ah, it kills me
that I don't speak Italian perfectly. Oh well. Most Italians don't
either. Hahaha.
Oh, hey, dad, remember
how this month is the greatest month of the year? April birthdays are where
it's at :) Haha.
Vi voglio bene!
