we had zone conference last thursday. it was the best. i love zone conference. president and sorella kelly are just awesome. i love hearing from them. sorella spicq and i did the musical number. she played and i sang ''this is the christ'' and everyone really loved it. man i just love zone conference haha. we went to catania for it. catania is beautiful! but i love siracusa... we did a split with sorella christensen (my other comp in the mtc) and sorella fuller (my old roomie at byu) and it was weird haha but fun. we had a good time. i usually dont really like splits but this one was fine. it was only for a morning so.. it was good. 

saturday night we went to listen to this family in our ward who have a band (they mostly just cover music) and they were playing music from the beatles haha it was the BEST. i loved it. reminded me of velour and muse in provo.. but... italians... singing british music.... the best. 

so the elders in siracusa have this investagator named giovanna and she is just the cutest one! i love her so much. they found her through english course and she is the greatest. haha i wish we were teaching her. but i always compliment her outfits and i dont know.. shes just so cute! and she has these earrings that i really love and she BOUGHT me some! look at her! cutest one! haha anyway... i dont have a picture with her yet but ill send one soon. i told the elders that i want to teach her hah.. :) well see.

so we are thinking about switching up english course so sorella spicq can start doing a french course, which means i will lose my bambino (children)'s course and have to teach basic which will be pretty hard...... gah........ well see haha....... but yesterday for english course i taught my kids how to play ''big booty'' (big booty, number one! number one, number four! etc..) and ''jig-a-low''

 haha, yes, basically we just play girls camp games in english... its the best though...... they are CRAZY. i have three 8-year-olds right now and..... man..... haha...... its fun though. they love me hah

we have this one investagator named vincenza and she is just.. so funny...... she is so old and pretty much only speaks sicilian so we literally can only understand about 10% of what she says, and its funny cause after every sentence she says ''hai capito, gioia?'' (do you understand, joy?) and we're just like ''si, si..'' haha no........ we dont understand sicilian. sorry....... so funny though. shes great. 

hah there are just so many good ones here.. graziano. he is SO funny... he works for nuskin and speaks nearly perfect english. man i am so excited to hangout with him in utah haha.. he's insane. he left for japan yesterday on a business trip and wont be back till the end of november so i said bye to him cause im not sure if i will be here next transfer and he said ''i will just pray for you to stay..'' and i said ''you have to!! do you pray everyday, graziano?'' and he said ''i pray sometimes.. you know.. God is a pretty ambitious guy and i like ambitious people, so i talk to him sometimes..'' haha... man. he is just the funniest one. 

we'll see though. from the looks of things i am going to be transfered out. but you never know with these kinds of things.. 

vediamo. 

alright.... not much else to write. i miss you all a lot..... things are getting better... still hard.. but better. 

YOURE THE BEST ONES!
