12/12

alright famiglia e amici. 

so this sunday we have a baptism. his name is Fabio Roselli. and he is just so great. like i said, they found him a few days after i left ladispoli. he is the husband of a member and has never in their 12 year marriage had any interest whatsoever in the church, and usually didnt let his wife go to church because his only day off was sunday and wanted her to be home with him and their kids and never let her have visiting teachers or anything. 

me and sorella ivory went over to their house once before i left for siracusa and then the second time she went over with sorella buckley, they met fabio. and asked him to be baptized. and he said yes. 

so... they taught him all the lessons and the first time i met him was when we did the baptismal interview for him haha... i've seen him a couple times since then and he just seems solid as a rock. he is so cool. he used to smoke 30 cigaretts a day and now he hasnt smoked a single one for i think a little over a month. MIRACLE! its so cool to be about to see how their family is being affected by his decision and how much happier the mom is from when i first met her. i am so happy for their family. dang... so cool..... 

other than that i dont have much to tell you. i am teaching basic english here in ladispoli. its kind of cool being in 3 because we can do 3 levels. basic, intermediate and advanced. so.... i teach basic... and.... hah its rough sometimes but my class loves me. i just have 5 old italian dudes and.... its just... haha a lot of fun... they tell me i am a good teacher. so.... yeaaaah........... i gave a book of mormon to one of them last week so we will see how that goes! man, i love english course haha.. 

im pretty pumped to be able to be back in ladispoli. the ward is so fantastic.. everyone who was pregnant when i left now has tiny infant children hah. so thats weird. but its so good to be back. i feel like im home :)

we've been continually brainstorming what movies to watch for christmas. we get to watch 2 and so far we have agreed that one of them will be 'ELF'. because... its the best movie ever. 

anyone know what 'hot rod' is rated? haha...... also 'nacho libre'? we...... need to laugh...............

alright. thats about all for this week. 

its cold. 

REALLY cold.......

happy 12-12-12!!! this is probably the last time this week happen EVER. so enjoy it......... 

CIAOOOOOOOOOOOO
