Ok, this message might be a little short because I have a goal today... to read the entire Book of Mormon before p-day (preparation day, is one day per week to do laundry, shop for groceries, get haircuts, etc) is over. It’s going to be crazy! Then I’m going to start it over tomorrow and finish it by Christmas as my gift to Christ to show him that I’m using the rod he's given us to feel his love and bring myself closer to him. (D&C 84:54-57)
Thanksgiving was really nice, the food was amazing and to eat with an American family was great! They have 3 sons and they are so energetic, it's great! I can't wait for Christmas!! We have started listening to Christmas music and all the decorations are up in Napoli, it's great!!
So Ashley is 17 and she’s from Peru. Her mom came here for work with her Uncle (Juan). Her mom has been coming with Ashley to gospel principles and sacrament meeting!!!
I'll be honest, last week was kind of rough... we were in Caserta for 4 days out of the 7 and it really hurt our work... It's just one of the things you have to deal with while having a zone leader as a companion (it was for baptismal interviews) also, we had quite a few dropped appointments... those are always rough. But we did feel (and in a way were) always productive and this week is going to make up for last week :) All our investigators are doing great! we got Patrizia to start the stop smoking program we have and things are going well, it's hard for her but she strong. We also met with Virginia and Alfredo last night and she has been investigating for 13 years and will be baptized as soon as her divorce is official and she and Alfredo are married. Alfredo is less sure but he does love the church and the missionaries. I'M SO EXCITED!
Sara, thats a crazy dream!!! Maybe it's a sign that you should play soccer and be such a good example that people want to know why you’re such a great girl and you can take them to activity days!! And who knows maybe they can meet with the missionaries and they'll want to be baptized!
Oh, and its not too cold here... 50ish
Julianna, Hi =)
Maren, I heard you are ''in gamba'' (on the ball) this week!! That’s great! How are you liking being home schooled? What are you doing for fun?
Abby, I'm supposed to tell you that you need to respond to Ashley’s message on facebook!! You should talk with her, she is such a great girl, she wants to learn English better, and you’re taking Spanish!
Mattie, how’s that novel coming along? Any fun Christmas plans?
Well, I need to get to reading. I love you and can’t wait to talk to you for Christmas! Oh, by the way, we can call/Skype on the 25th or 26th. I was thinking the night of the 25th... what do you all think???
Vi Voglio Bene,
