Ok so it's been a pretty eventful week. F... is a sneaky little sneaky sneak as always and avoids responding to us and L... is not much better. But I have hope for our new potential L... who seems curious. He said he hasn't read anything yet but that he will. And we have regular contact with him through English class so he can never escape our clutches MUAHABABABAHAHHAHA.
Anziano Leavitt just barely left and Anziano Hepner will replace him tonight. Right now I'm with Anziano Calton from Ancona and because his Greenie has to visa wait for a tiny bit he will be in a trio with us and we will have to cover both Pesaro and Ancona. It's gonna be crazy. Especially because both areas deaperately need missionaries. After about a week or so the new guy should get here, and Anziano Calton will go back to Ancona. So yeah, a lot happening
This week we saw an interesting guy. He said he could fix my comp's bike so we went over to his house. He then showed us his creation. It was basically a bunch of spare parts from cars, bikes, and a washing machine bolted together in a huge mass of machinery and he had put the top of a table on it to make it a table. Then he plugged it in and a couple chains started to spin and he was like "whoooo! I'm a genius! Who else could have done this!!?? Nobody!" And we were like ok yeah, whatever you say. He talked to us for sooo long about how he poured all of his frustrations into this creation and it became his life's work. And then his 90 year-old Mom came out and told him that he talks too much. Haha
We had an awesome time on Saturday caroling in Rimini. We were standing under the christmas tree singing away and then these Born Again Christians came up and started yelling at us and waving signs at us that said "repent and be born again". So I guess I gotta repent. One of them even had a megaphone and was saying stuff about how Joseph Smith was a sinner (true) and how the Book of Mormon was false (false). It was getting pretty crazy but then all of a sudden we decided to go ham on Joy to the World. We started singing as loud as we could and we absolutely drown all of them out even though there weren't that many of us. They eventually had to leave because no one could hear them. It was a good feeling. I felt the Spirit while they were getting wrecked. I could definitely tell that the people could see the obvious difference between us and them. We are here singing christmas songs and spreading joy while you are screaming in peoples faces and telling them that Christmas is a sin. That's literally what they were saying. That Christmas is not a Christian holiday because Jesus was not born in this time of the year. It was a bit crazy but luckily it didn't ruin our caroling.
That's about it for this week! I love you guys the most! Ciao
