HEEEEEYYY!!!
As for moi:
~PDAY- last pday like i mentioned we
were in ladispoli. waded about in the water at the beach, sat in the black
sand, played a spastic game of soccer with pieces of trash to make the goals,
and then carved pumpkins and ate taco salad. 'twas most excellent. THIS pday
for halloween we're gonna meet the elders at the church and make lasagna, wear
sweats except i'm wearing my teal pants, drink "blood" (anziano
embree has been talking about this stuff he "bought" for days....),
and beat candy out of a tiny pinata sorella winward made with paper mache.
pictures to come.

~I BROKE A BANANA ON MY HEAD. to any
and all cadets from my original LOBO flight. it can be done! but no one was
there to see it.... but i gasped so loud they were all worried about me.
~ I love my english class so so so
much! I feel like I cant really be myself all the time with the missionaries,
but with my class im relaxed and funny and they keep coming back so i must be a
half decent teacher. or at least somewhat entertaining. i gave one of the girls
in my class a test cuz she wanted one to help her practice. i got it back
yesterday and for some of the translations she wrote things like "I'm
twenty one age years" "My birthday father's is twenty-nine
november". Adorable right??
~ I don't really like doing
"house" = ringing buzzers and them answering "who is it?"
"we are missionaries of the church of jesus christ and we bring a message
about him if you have a few minutes..." "oh, no thanks, im not
interested" "oh, ok, thanks anyway" "you're welcome".
but it makes me laugh when they say
"prego" at the end, like they did me a favor by rejecting me. :)
~ After dad's email last week about
Jordie and his comp coming up with different ways to say "it's gonna be a
great day" i made a little sign and sing to myself the andy samberg song
"i dont know WHY but today seems like its gonna be a GREAT
DAAAAAAAAAAY!"
~ Little old Michele from english
course came to our ward activity this week AND to church. it was the primary
program. and we gave him a bom and he said he would read. boom baby.
~ Spiritual roller coaster moment: we
went to Alina's to teach Vittorio. She told us about her many lots of problems
healthwise, debtwise. It's really sad. And she hasn't been coming to church. We
bore testimony that those are the times when you can't slow down in the church
or in your prayers and scripture reading. It was a really special little
lesson. and she asked them for a blessing.
THEN Vittorio jumped in a started a
long string of ridiculous bible-related questions about NOTHING and after one
second i turned to anziano embree and told him i wanted to punch vittorio's
face and the spirit ran away with how tense and frustrated the room was. after
about 20 minutes of wasteful nothingness i turned to embree again and said
"ask alina if she wants her blessing now and then let's beat it."
she wanted it then and the elders gave
her the most incredible blessing and the spirit was brought back in full force
and it was a really fantastic couple minutes. and i wanted to shout from the
housetops "THATS WHY OUR CHURCH IS TRUE! BECAUSE THEY CAN DO THAT!"
meaning, give powerful blessings.
~ Alma 31: 34-35. Has been my prayer
this last week. And I have sought to let people know that they are precious and
important. Even if one minute later they purposefully touch Sorella Sobeck's
bum or look at us like we're something to eat.
LOVE
YOU ALL. MUCH MUCH MUCH.
