Ciao famiglia
I missed the party apparently! All those people! Sounds like a blast. Thank you Ellie for the letter with all the little messages, it was a crack up! But the google translate... Voi means you all. So... You said, "we love you Jessie we pray for y'all! Lol, but thank you :)
Dang it Jack! You need to apply to Marshalls! You should have already done it, because the summer flow of high school students has started, and they won't be hiring soon! You would have totally gotten a job bro! Also... Could you try and send me a video of the "just do it" video... Also, who does that video?!? I totally spaced on his name. I saw a corvette yesterday... In Italy! I can't imagine a lot made it out this way, but you tell me!
I'm glad you all had so much fun camping and such! Those kids are just toofunny!
Ok. To the week!
This week was just funny! We had a lot of fun with English course. So, I'm not sure if I told you, but we teach English as a service to the community. So, every Tuesday and Thursday night, we do an hour class, and everyone is invited. My companion and I teach the more advanced group, which it fine by us! Way more fun. This week, he topic was about "How to open a checking account". The people are much more advanced that that... So we started doing topic based activities. This week, we did a skit of some sort... About how to rob a bank! It was so funny! We had bananas in our bags from a member we had just visited, and off they went! So much fun!
Because it was our 6th month mark, we bought ourselves a lot of good food. Like our favorite cookies, and gelato, and popcorn, and ACE. We then put our beds on the floor, put on our pjs, and watched "The Testaments", with such quotable moments as "It pleases me", "it is the jaguar" and "it is beautiful, it it you". Too good!
Friday was specialized training... It's the last one for the Waddoups! It was kind of sad. I sang with one of the Elders "God be with you till we meet again", and everyone joined in on the last verse. Both of the Waddoups where bawling, it was so sad, but so good.
We learned more about our teen investigator this week! One, she is homeless. Two, her mom might be a prostitute. Three, she might be involved in that work too. She has never been straight with us about her home life. Finding out that she has flat out lied about it was sort of the last straw. We are going to drop her this week. It is not safe for us, because we do not know the mom, and she might not know we are talking to her daughter and that's not ok. There are men who sit in a car outside the trailer where she is living and overall, the situation is not conducive to the commitments we are asking her to keep. We would be setting her up to fail. She would do any thing to make us keep visiting her. Which is why she has been taught this long, because she looks like she is progressing. She lies, and is manipulative. No good. So... She doesn't know that we know where she lives yet... We are going to confront her, and make her see that this lie and the fact that we can not see her any more is in fact her fault. Hopefully she will not be mad at us, because it is her fault... We'll see. It is important that the missionaries in the future can teacher her again when she is more ready, so we can't make her hate us... So fun!
Today is my six months to six months to sexy! Yay!!! One year left! We are playing zone volleyball today, so it should be with a good amount of the entire zone! Should be a lot of fun.
Vi voglio bene!
