Week 12 Letter from Sorella Hills

Buongiorno famiglia! 

Sounds like you had a busy week! Planning anything big in the stake/ how is trek planning going? And wait, why did you take Ellie to large group? Doesn't the school usually bus the kids over? Yeah, the sight reading takes for ever, I'm sorry you had to wait that out! 

Chuck! My old puppy/friend/enemy! How's the bathroom situation? And the exercise situation? Do you still run with him? I still find the stories about him so funny! 

Meals are great! People feed us at least once a week on Sunday, but we get another odd one here or there.  We go out to eat about twice a week, once after district meeting, and another time if we really need scaccia... Oh! Scaccia is this bread that is rolled up in layers like a lasagna with stuff in between the layers.  We always get this one with ricotta and parsley. It's so good! But yeah.  Mostly at home.  I get plenty to eat, and it's a good thing we live on a hill without a car... 

You sent plenty of pictures!  I'm glad you did!  I really only needed some of the ones on the computer already... I feel bad that you did all that work!! But I'm glad, it's really nice to have all those pictures to show people! Thank you SO MUCH! 

Ma die DQ! Perché! Ah well, meno male I wasn't there to have to witness the downfall of a great business.  How was the opening night?! Jk, but is it nicer? Still the Bedford townies hangout? 

Jack! Get your motivation on bro! Get those mission papers in!! I need to know where you are going! And you need to know where you are going! It's not like you have school to fall back on, and the job market is slim. So, sooner is better then later! Just do it! Fallow your dreams! Did you get it? Did you get my reference? 

Ok.  This week.  We didn't do a whole lot.  We did a lot of walking, that would end up pointless, because the person we were looking for would not live there, or not be home, or not want to talk to us.  We did however have a cool activity for the ward! 

So.  We are trying to strengthen members, and get referrals.  BTW, please if you can, PLEASE try to go out with the missionaries or have an investigator over to your house or a friend over with the missionaries.  It's a hard life.  Anyways, we did an activity, and the ward mission leader really talked it up.  He was saying things like "there is going to be a special guest, courtesy of the mission"... When it was just us singing and bringing the spirit.  It was wicked stressful, because he wanted us to sing Amar Gesù, which is, shoot. I don't know the English version...oh our Saviors love!  But, yeah.  Not very powerful... So, we did Nearer My God to Thee.  It went well I think!  

Then, the ward mission leader talked about member missionary work.  And we got a referral! And we got a ride to Comiso to see an investigator! We've been trying since I got here to get a member to come! Finally! Afterwards, we are supposed to work with members more, and do the missionary lessons with them, and ask for a referral, some one that they want to share the gospel with, so we can help them do it.  It should be good! 

Then!!!! Last night!!! We had a lizard in our apartment!  We live on the 3rd floor! I don't know how he got in there, but it was a pain in the butt trying to get him out!! We finally swept him into an empty cereal box.  Sorella Roberts was going to just through him out the window! I wouldn't let her... so we brought him down, shook the box, then were unsure if he had come out...and were unwilling to check.  So, we left the box outside.  So, that was fun! 

That's about our week!  Vi voglio bene!
