Scramble!!!!!!

This past week was a lot of fun. We went out wanting to teach people about the gospel and we ending up finding 5 new people. 1 of which was a referral from a member. It has been really sick to have so much success so fast. We have a lot of work right now. Dave Rose(The coach for BYU basketball) came to our church on Sunday. He was here on vacation. That was cool. It was a lot nicer this week with the weather. So that is been good. We drove down to Pisa this past week to go work with the missionaries there for a day. It was a lot of fun. I really like being a Zone leader because We get to have a huge impact on other missionaries and help them in their problems. I love it. Its a lot fun. Crazy Story, so this week we are baptizing someone! Long story short, there is an american family here whose kid wanted to get baptized here. So he will be baptized here in Firenze....coool story. I honestly don't know what else to say. Have a great week!

+44 is back!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday in all of Toscana, it was about 44 degrees Celsius which is about 111 degrees Fahrenheit . I got heat exhaustion and had to lie down for about an hour and a half. I drank over 4 liters of water. Its really hot. My fan broke last night, so I have to buy a new one today. Cinque Terre was the best p-day I have ever had in my entire life. We ate at a restaurant in Monterosso and ate fish that was caught only minutes before we came. It was the best sea food I have ever had. I will send pictures of that, as well as our Pisa trip. The smell of the sea was AMAZING! That was the first time I had seen any large body of water that big since August before I left on my mission. It was glorious. On the missionary work side, we have lost a lot of our investigators but that is okay. We have received 1 new investigator and 2 others who want to meet with us. Its really legit because all of them are friends of members and have been prepared to accept the gospel. One of them, Agostino, is soooo legit. He is the boyfriend of a girl who is coming back to church. He is sooo funny. And loves the Joseph Smith story. we are going to meet with him this week. Another one is Albanian who has told his wife(who is a member) that he wants to be baptized now. Its going to be a great transfer..just realllllyyyy hot! Well Have a great week!!! Love you guys!

Gloria e Toscana vanno molto bene insieme!

Well this past week we had consglio...meaning all the zone leaders and sister training leaders got together with president and the assistants and we had a conference. It was realllyyy good. At the end, president came up to me and told me that we were getting a CAR!!!!!!!!! Her name is Gloria. I will send some photos next week. I got to drive from Milano to Firenze! It was awesome! The work slowed down a bit until yesterday where we got tonnnnssssss of contacts which is good because we need it. Anyways everything is going well. We have a short email session this week because we got home a little late. We were at the leaning tower today. I got some good pictures! I'm trying to think of what happened this past week. I cant remember much because we have been so busy. Anyways I am doing great and I hope that all of you are well! Transfers are this week so that's see if I stay in firenze! I hope I do! I will be upset if I leave!!!! Have a great week!

The bird is the word.

Hello Everyone! Well I was sick a little bit more last week. I slept for forever! It was awesome. I feel heaps better. Well this past week, we have started to run with our investigator Franco to help him quit smoking. Once he does that, he can get baptized. Its going well. Jessica, our other investigator is sick right now but the last time we saw her, things were going realllllllllyyyyyyyy well. She has a problem getting to church, once we get that cleared and teach her some more, she can get baptized. So we are excited about that. While in a park the other day, the coolest thing ever happened. I was sitting on a bench with my comp and we were making calls. At one point a crazy drunk man started to talk to my comp. They talked for a bit. While this was happening, I was sitting with my right leg prostrated on my left knee. So my foot was in the the air. At one point a tiny bird flies towards me and lands on my foot in the air. We stared at each for like 1 minute. I was shocked. I didn't know what to do. IT was COOL! The other day, I did a scambio in Pisa! It was a lot of fun! I also got to see the tower! It leans. I made sure it was leaning. I didn't get a picture but that's OK, we will be going there for p-day in a couple of weeks. We played basketball today. It was a lot of fun! We played with a man from Holland. He was cool. Well, that's all folks!
