Happy Drew

Ciao Famiglia!  Come state?

It's been a really good week here in Mestre.  We've been working hard and we've done finding a lot and a lot.

It's always good to hear from you guys.  It's so crazy that Nathan is now 25 and Audrey is now 11 what the heck?  When did you guys get so old?  Audrey you better getoutfromwayfromroundthemboys, and Nathan you better getinfromwayfromroundthembabies. Seriously though when am I gonna be an Uncle? I mean come on.

Also when the heck did Evan even have a ps4!!?  Getoutfromwayfromroundthembiolentbideodames.

Also Mom that sounds like a good start to a talk.  Heck that sounds like a good whole talk.  You'r a prtty gud riter i guess.

This week the work has been good.  We are still having trouble meeting with people.  And we are also having a little trouble with the meno attivi (less actives) who don't want to come to church.  But we are still working hard and hope for the best.  I don't know how much longer we can continue to teach A because he is very very Muslim and doesn't let us talk about other things besides the Qur'an and Alicia Keys.  We did however ask him to be willing to learn from us and read from the Book of Mormon and he said he would. So we'll see how it goes.  

The more I teach people the more I realize that I really have to rely on Heavenly Father.  The other day I was thinking about all our investigators and potentials and how I really really want them to progress.  The reality is that I don't know if they will.  But even thinking about that fact I still wasn't really worried or stressed.  Just kinda happy.  The Lord will work all that out. All I have to do is let Him.

Icky spiritual stuff.  Anyways I love you guys.  I went to Venezia (Venice) today and it was freaking awesome.  I have a lot and a lot of pictures.  It's the most beautiful city I've been to.  We went to the island of Murano which is a little off of the mainland of Venezia.  It is where all the master glass blowers in the world live and work.  It's where they did all of the glass work for the Rome temple.  It was pretty dang exciting.
