10/24






This week started out pretty tough but it got better as the week went on.
sabastiano bought sorella spicq and i catholic prayer plaques haha. man.. he's the best one... mine is of the holy ghost illuminating the scriptures because i ''have the gift of illumination'' and sorella spicq's has baby angels on it cause she ''has the gift of tranquility''.
yes.. sabastiano is the greatest one. he told us he didnt get the plauqes blessed so that we can have our priests bless them haha.. man.. so perfect. dont worry, its hanging above my bed. :)

on saturday we had a really fantastic lesson with a 17 year old kid named Elia. he is super open which is rare here and just so great. he said if he gets an answer that this church is true he wants to be baptized. elia is really an answer to my prayer. he helped me remember that there are still people here that need me.. when he prayed after the lesson he thanked God that the practice room was closed (where his band plays) so that when he was walking on the street, he was able to meet us.

monday we had FHE with the Gubilisco family and ate some DANG good sicilian pizza. man.. americans just didnt quite get it right. this pizza is heaven.

english course is sweet here. i never have to teach anymore haha. since there are elders and sisters here, the elders teach advanced and intermediate, sorella spicq teaches basic and i teach the childrens course, so basically i get to hangout with two 8-year old kids, singing songs and playing games. we played UNO yesterday haha... so funny...... i love with italians speak english. probably just as funny as me trying to speak italian...

after english course on tuesdays we have FHE with all the young single adults in church. i have the spiritual thought. usually one persons starts off the spiritual thought and then whoever wants to can say what they think or give insights and we all just learn from each other. its really cool. so i read the scriptures in mattew 27:46 and then read parts of elder holland's talk ''none were with him''. man...... so good!!! everyone's got to read it..
here is the link to his talk:

anyway... this week was better than the last.

and i miss/love you all so much.
youre all the best..
and hang in there.
if time doesn't make things better, at least you'll get used to things being hard..

my prayers are with you :)
