Week 25

Ciao Famiglia!  How is everyone doing?  

I heard that Daddio has been in Las Vegas for a bit, that's cool.  Don't gamble because you have no poker face.  Also one thing that you might learn from the neurology conference dad is that in order to treat cystic chronic NIV disorder you have to use an experimental medication called placebo 114.  Essentially what it does is it enters into the bloodstream from the primary pulmonary tract to the brain stem, and eases the inflammatory tissue using a catalyst.  Did you know that Daddio?  Also now you know what it feels like to be signed up for something you didn't agree to.  It's one of Mom's old tricks. It's how she got me to go on a mission.  I'm kiiiiding.  Make sure you send me a video of the Jabberwocky poem haha.

How have things been at 3600 Hayes Manor Lane?  That's the right address right?  Better be because that's were I sent the letter to.  Maham you Facebook stalked my companion again!!?  Haha that's ok.  Is his Mom nice?  Also you will never ever guess my secret ingredient in my lasagna so just stop trying.  I do put carrots in the ragù but that is not the secret.

Anyways this week was an awesome week.  We met with some really cool people,  had some really good experiences, and did some really good missionary work.  We were able to see B and G which was the first time that I have met either of them.  They are both really cool people and have really good ideas.  I know that they both have a testimony of the Book of Mormon, but up until now they have been impossible to meet with.  That is so sad.  To see someone gain a testimony and then something else in the world holds them back is probably the worst thing about the mission.  But we were able to see both of them and so hopefully this is the start of something really good.  The one thing that does concern me with B was that she said she didn't want to come to church or be a part of any church because she likes to be alone instead of being a part of a community.  Sooo weird right?  I guess we really just have to stress the importance of coming to church and getting baptized when it gets to that point.

We also met yesterday with a man named R.  He is really nice but also really likes to Bible bash.  I think he is a born again Christian or something.  Any suggestions for avoiding bible bashing in a lesson?  I have really learned this week that Italians can talk.  Both B and R talked our ears off.  B talked mainly about her life the past couple years and so it was good because we were there for her to listen.  R just read verses from the bible and tried to convince us of his points.

My comp and I are doing a food week this next week.  We are just gonna fill the week with the best food that Italy has to offer.  I'm gonna make lasagna, pesto, pancetta (which is a really good red sauce that basically tastes like bacon because you put bacon in it), and gnocchi ripieni (which is kinda like a potato pasta with cheese inside).  My comp is gonna make salsiccia (which is another really good red sauce that you cook with sausages), carbonara (which is an eggy pasta), and then at the end we are going to make pizzas with all of the different red sauces that we made throughout the week.  It is going to be amazing.

Well that's it for this week.  I Love you all Ssoooooo much!!
