we had stake conference last sunday and it was SWEET. Elder Nelson came and spoke to our stake which was ridiculously cool. he spoke a ton about families and it was so perfect cause we had a few less active families come (which is legit because the conference was in the middle of rome (about 1.5 hrs away) 

anyway.. it was awesome. i loved it. its getting me pumped for general conference haha.

um...... so a few days ago we were doing some house and there was a citof with 60 names on it. we rang 58 with no luck and the 59th one we rang let us in. moral of the story.... start at the bottom next time (nah nah... just kiddin...) but really sometimes you have to keep going, even when you dont want to.. but anyway, this guy was sweet. he was this super old dude and had pillows all over his house with his wife's face on it and told us about how she'd passed away and his whole story. he used to be an olympic runner for italy back in the day, like 50 years ago and showed us all his trophies and stuff. it was awesome. he doesnt seem to have much interest in the gospel but well see how things go with him.. ma speriamo bene.

we did another exchange this week. i dont know, somehow we got really popular really quick and everyone wants to do exchanges with us. (obviously... have you SEEN us?) it was pretty fun. our first one was with Rome 2 and this one was with Rome 3. i did it with sorella winward. she is so sweet. i can tell things are hard for her in the mission right now but she is just so patient and loving and just doing her very best, which is all we can really do. so... that was fun. Rome 3 has two companionships in their apartment so that was weird. hah.. but fun anyhow.

It says Choose the Right in Italian

mm........ how much else to report on........ missions are weird. they teach you a lot. about other people. families. relationships. but mostly about yourself. and how to be your best self. its pretty sweet... and also weird. but i love it. 

sorella ivory is still awesome. still the best one. still working hard and doing her very best. i love her so much. 

transfer calls are a week from saturday so no.. not sure what's happening yet.

i love ladispoli though. its seriously the best city. i hope i stay here at least one more transfer. with sorella ivory with be awesome, but i just dont see that happening..... mostly cause she's been in this city since february.. but you never know with these kinds of things. 

love you all. miss you all. jealous that you get to go to disneyland and lake powell. (thanks for the postcard, nat!) and im trying to get stuff off in the mail to halle and logan soon. 

also thanks for the necklace kim! so cute!!
