we had zone conference this last week. i love zone conference. president and sorella kelly are awesome and i love hearing them speak to us. (not to mention sorella kelly gave us an amazing bread recipe)

right after zone conference i did my first exchange with the sorelle in rome 2. that was interesting. haha... they didnt have any appointments set up so we ended up just doing a ton of finding.. which was fine.. but it also just made me appreciate ladispoli so much more! i love ladispoli. we just have the best ward and the sweetest investagators! speaking of-

we had a fantastic family home evening with Anna (the golden one from Sicily) and corada, and zortzi (members) and anna taught us how to make these weird cheese/spinach bread things (see picture) and they were SO GOOD. OH MAN. it was so fun. we had such a great time and just spent time getting to really know her and build that relationship with her. we had a great lesson with her and then after she pulled out a guitar and started singing traditional sicilian songs! it was so awesome! i loved it..

we started english course again. some girls that were in my class a few months ago started coming again. they had all taken a vacation during the summer to Puglia and brought me and sorella ivory necklaces from there! how sweet!! 

its starting to cool down a bit.. not too much yet but its not deathly hot anymore. 

uh.... cant really think of much else to write. 

we see maria once a week now for service. i LOVE maria. she is the funniest woman i have ever talked to. i was trying to teach her some english words last time we went like 'sicily' (in italian cecilia) and i was saying 'SI-SUH-LEE' and after a couple minutes of her trying she gave up and said 'tu stai li. oi sto qui' (you are there. i am here.) it was so funny... maybe you had to be there..

anyway.. 

not much else to report on this week. GIORGIA STOPS WORKING SOON! so she will be able to come to church again. GAH! so excited... anyway...

vi voglio bene!
