October 27, 2016

Ciao ogni persone who happen to read this!!
So pretty much two things happened today, one we taught Antonio and I think he is finally starting to understand our purpose in life so that's cool, and two I dropped some sticky note things under a locked closet door and spent half an hour trying to get them out with a hanger, a string, swipe cards, and help from others... We never saw them again.
Today (saturday) we did this cool thing were we created a simpatizzante (investagator) based on someone we know who is not a member or something like that then we shuffled and taught someone on the spot we have never met, it was really cool for learning how to adapt to different people with diverse backgrounds and such.  The sorelle in my districto built a giant sand turtle because non perche it was quite hilarious. I also had an spiritual experience later while we were giving a lesson I just had a scripture pop into my head for no reason (Alma 36: 17­21). It was really awesome because it was just there and we shared and it was great.  We also had a district inventory and said all the things we liked about each other and that was way cool and really brought us together even more then we already were.
We got to go on our weekly temple walk and we took a bunch of pictures and we all even wore rossa (red) so we could match and look really cool. I taught at the district meeting about perserverando alla fine (enduring to the end), I mostly used "Our Search for Happiness" and went pretty well.  We had a devotional by Brother Allen who is a missionary management director, penso. Then we watched Meet the Mormons I had never seen it before it was pretty good, I really like the Candy Bomber story  just because he brought gioia in such dark times.
Today we sang popcorn popping in italiana just for fun and it was quite hard but it was worth perche the translation is hilarious.  We also got to pray for ten minutes straight which sounds weird but is actually super amazing and can give you a new perspective on prayer. Since you run out of your usual prayer stuff pretty quick you really have to think about what to say and it is way awesome, I invite anyone who has the time to try it.
We sang "Jesus Once of Humble Birth" at the Tuesday devotional and it was way good Brother Natriss of the 70 spoke and here are some of the snipit quotes I liked: "Be not Afraid Believe" (from Gordon B. Hinckley) and "know who you are, and know who he is".  We get to host the new missionaries tomorrow and I am way super excited.
I got to host four missionaries today and it was super great, yes people cry but it is also one of the greatest days for them so I was just there to help it move along. We did TRC again and it went very well.  We might be descending into ranks of abnormality because in order to study a scripture we made a game where you hit a smallish beach ball  around and when you hit it everyone says the next word of the scripture and surprisingly it worked and was super fun definitely and repeat activity.
Anyway to conclude I am doing great and I do love it here there is a lot to do and you can make stuff up to just make your experience even more exciting and fun while being surrounded by awesome people.  I am so glad to be here and am just having a blast.   volere bene a ogni persone!!! Ciao
