Cold weather and sickness....

In this past week it was pretty cold. I also got a little sick yesterday. Today I feel pretty tired still. I slept in until 9 am. Yesterday, I had the chills and an upset stomach. Today I feel better, but I feel completely exhausted. I am really tired as I am writing. We had an interesting week. We had a lot of success in the beginning of the week but near the end it kind of stopped. The other day we had a pretty hard day. We had 4 bidoni( people who don't show up to appointments and then my comps bike broke down and we had to fix it. After fixing it, we went to a lesson with some less actives, which was a lot of fun. When we were about to go home we went to our bikes and found out that my front bike tire had been stolen. So I had to carry my bike all the way home from the train station. That was a lot of fun. We did eat over at an one of the senior couples house this past week in Prato, and the food was sooo good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love Italian food. Well other than that not much happened this past week. Have a great week!

If you blink...you might miss it..

Well, I cant believe that I talked with you guys. It went really fast. IT was as if it never happened, its weird. The day after mothers day we had a cool miracle. We had a less active who we have been working with ask us if we could go with him to give a blessing to his sister in law. We agreed and went. It turns out his sister in law is ELECT! We met with her to do the blessing and she told us her life story, as well as her health problem that she has had for awhile. Her eye has a weird problem and is swells up and she cant see out of it and doctors(here in Italy, as well as in Peru) cannot explain what is wrong. She also explained how she has never been baptized and wants to be baptized. She has always had faith in God and she wants to get closer to him and she wants to help her family. We gave a blessing, which was very powerful. After the which we taught her about the atonement of Christ and how if she puts her faith in him, and if its according to the will of God, she would be healed. It was such a powerful incontro that we had with her and now we have an appointment with her tomorrow! It was really cool. We didn't expect any of that to happen at all. We also found a cool Phillipino guy later that day. The work is going really well right now. This week we are going to be really busy like every other week. My companion has to work on his permesso di soggiorno so that will take time out which stinks but that's OK. Yesterday we had really good lessons with our investigators Giacomo, and Franco which was great. They both are progressing really well. Well I hope you all have a great week! P.s. Anthony finished his mission!!!!!! p.p.s isn't weird how my comp looks like Carson? Its weird!

Dogs are scary.....

This past week was a lot of fun. We got lost a lot because I didn't know the city very well. It is a very confusing city at times. My new comp is from Idaho Falls, he is my first comp from Idaho! I thought it wouldn't happen cioè that I would get a comp from Idaho. So we lost some of our investigators and we had a rough end of the week but recently we have been finding people whom we can teach and I feel like we are about to take off with our work. We were doing casa this past week and we got into the palazzo and we were about to knock the last door. The apartment we were about to knock was on the bottom floor, under the main floor where you can leave the palazzo. Right before we knock it we get a call that was important so what I did is I answered it and stood on the stairs so if people answered the door they couldn't see me on the phone but my comp could still contact them. Right as I went on the stairs, the people answered the door and A HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! German Shepard starting barking at us very violently and me being not a fan of dogs that do that I started to run away...as I did so my comp got cornered by this dog and it was in attack mode....right I as ran away I hung the phone up and booked it...3 seconds after I started to run up the stairs I saw that my comp wasn't behind me so I ran back to save him. The owner laughing grabbed the dog and took him back inside. I was not happy with that guy. It was scary. So that was fun. My new comp looks like Carson....its realllyyyyyyyyy weird. I get confused sometimes.

I cannot catch a break.....

well.....two days ago at 3:30 pm we got a call from president that scared the crap out of us. I'm getting a new companion.........again..........my comp is going to go fix apartments around the mission. My new comp is Anziano Christensan...he will be my 11th comp in my 12th transfer. I heard he is really bravo. I am just tired of changing comps every transfer. This week was kind of hard because we couldn't see very many of our investigators. We also had the traveling assistants stay at our house for a few days so that was crazy. Our investigator Franco is doing well he wont get baptized until at least the end of may but it will happen! This past week flew by like all of the other weeks. Umm I am trying to think of things that we did...we found some awesome Peruvians this past week. We haven't been able to see any of them yet but we have appointments set up with them. So mothers day is catching up. Crazy huh? I am guessing I will be doing it around 6 here so 12 there. it just depends where my new comp is from. It has been realllllyyyyy humid here. It has been terrible. We had a cool district conference this past Sunday. Well I'm not sure what else to say. I hope you are all well. Have a great week!
