Piñatas, Mussels, And Kooky Old Guys Are The Best


Its been getting colder and colder here, and im forced to wear tights, partly cuz it means i dont have to shave my legs as much.
OBAMA eh? we had a lady text us this morning so we could find out. was it close? we heard the O-man had a lot of scary ads with freaky children and an ugly lady talking about uncomfortable things.

HALLOWEEN PDAY: lasagna, joseph smith long version vid, pin-the-tie-on-the-missionary, ping pong, brownies and icecreams, pellet gun, too hard pinata that we couldnt break with the stick so we played soccer with it until i kicked it so hard at sorella sobeck that it exploded.


Which one is the piñata? 
Destroyed.


FIORELLA: Melchiore's (member) mom. we started visiting her every week cuz she's a shut in. their house is disgusting. while sorella smed chatted with her i frantically searched for a broom to sweep up all the trash under her bed. i filled up 2 bags of trash from her room and from the kitchen floor. smed told me she didnt touch a SINGLE THING in the bathroom when she had to go pee cuz it was so yucky. she was quite proud of herself. we plan to do a little job every time we go.

PRINCE: we taught him word of the wisdom last week and he said he's already been trying to quit for 3 weeks. whaaaattt??? and even avoiding the street by the tabaccheria where he would buy his cigs. he said he was willing to give up those friends that work at the store for a little while until he was strong enough to resist temptation. he didnt make it to church though so we have to push his bapt back a week.

FIRST BIBLE BASH: I enjoyed it. Not cause I was bashing, but because the Lord blessed me to be completely calm the whole time while the other mishkinaries with me were getting a little riled. It was some punk hipster kid who was fighting about the Book of Mormon and coming up with all these questions and we repeatedly told him READ AND SEE, man! We had to go, he was making us late for an appointment. I asked to say one more thing, and I bore my testimony of the BoM and how it has helped me get to know Jesus better and how he can help me in my life. Yay for scriptures!

2 KOOKY OLD GUYS: that we met on the bus 2 weeks ago came to church. they're best friends and both widowers and their names are Nannino and Galvino. They were so cute and i sat in between them on the front row in sacrament meeting. Galvino tried to sing along with the hymns. He mostly just hit one note the whole time but i was so proud of him. The meeting was incredible and the Spirit was so strong during the testimonies, and several people talked about the Book of Mormon (One member compared his testimony of it to a million atomic bombs....... italians.) and afterward Nannino was like "i want one of those!" so i scurried and grabbed them both one and made a plan to see them this week.

MUSSELS: i ate them. at patrizia prato's house. they're SCRUMDIDLYUMPTIOUS! and i was losin' it i was so excited and horrified to see the pile of black shells in my bowl. they look like little aliens in their spaceships. kinda scary. patrizia reminds me of miss tigglywinkle. she's little and cute and has a little voice just like her! like a little hedgehog woman.

Mmmm.....mussels.

SOBECK: I partially am to blame for the large cut and bump on Sor. Sobeck's (I call her sorella sobe) forehead when she ran into a window when we were kicking a soccer ball in the multipurpose room at church. Its gnarly. But nevertheless a guy on the bus still called her Sorella Sexy because he claimed he couldn't read good.... thats an old one.



THOUGHT: the list of workings of the spirit in PMG. I'm obsessed with it and gave a little thought at Patrizia's about specific times I've felt the Spirit working in some of those ways listed. Skim it and see if anyone of those look familiar, and I think you'll be surprised how many times those things have happened and you didn't realize. I love the Spirit, he is our friend and loves us, and helps us connect to God and heaven.
