Ciao tutti!
I have had a baller of a week in the sense that we found a
few people with interest in our message, we have accumulated one new person to
teach, and a few other people who are just super fun.
Pizzas: 50ish
Gelati: 47ish
Books of Mormon: 78
Monday. Lots of calls to family and a
trip to some catholic churches all over Rome before Alì Babà and a kebab roll
the size of my forearm. There were a few things discussed that lunch about life
and how we are all much better people now that we have served then we would
have been if we decided to stay home and not serve. The testimonies of many far
outweigh the testimony of one. That's also why we have the book of Mormon, to
read along with the Bible... Funny how that works 😂😂
Tuesday. Aside from a lot of phone calls
made in an attempt to "flush out" the phone (we made about 50 of
these calls) we tried to teach English course, but my companion misplaced his
metro pass on the metro the day before and so we had to take a bus that got us
to the church. We showed up with five minutes left of class and then we were
greeted by the other Anziani who were already there. Yay unreliable bus systems
in Italy!
Wednesday. I went to the hospital for my
report and I'm happy to say that I don't have cancer! Just little bumps that
like to form for no particular reason. Yay! After we spent more than a
reasonable, but an entirely necessary amount of time waiting for results, we
received them!
Thursday. My companion and I had a fun
morning where I was stamped quite literally with the address of the church and
the hours for english course before we left the house. I then had to change and
wife we were outside, I was crapped on by a bird. Luckily all I needed to do
was roll up my sleeve and then the problem was *mostly* contained. I taught
english course shortly thereafter and treated myself to a nice cornetto
afterwards.
Friday. We had an appointment at the
temple that had to be re-scheduled because the man we were going to meet with
accidentally cut himself up pretty bad at work just twenty minutes before our
meeting. On the way back from the the temple, we gave away two resteration
pamphlets and with them, our number. Good save on a bad appointment. On the way
home I was told that I needed to make cinnamon rolls for district council he
next day, so I stayed up until about midnight cooking some cinnamon
rolls.
Saturday, we ate those rolls for
breakfast at the temple for district council. After which, we went home and
then cleaned up a little bit while doing weekly planning.
Sunday. This was the best day of the
week because we celebrated Anziano bellazetins birthday and also my halfway
point in the mission. I have 364 days left before I come home. Sad to think
about and also really boggling to my mind. We had a lesson at the temple after
church and so after a lunch of pasta, we went and met with the same guy we
tried to meet with on Friday, but he showed up this time. He accepted the
message of the resteration, the book of Mormon, and we made a follow up
appointment as well. On the way home, we made another friend on the bus ride
and we got his number after we spoke to him about the rigors of missionary life
and the things we do. He was super enthralled and we discovered that we live
very close to one another. Good day.
That was my week, more to come!
