Before I start just some information about the food here. First
off their milk is not very good which is really sad but it is that shelf milk
stuff so useful but terrible. What they lack in milk they do make up for in
juice which is super good. They have Kebabs pronounced (Kay-bob) super good especially
with yogurt(similar to mayo). Their chocolate is really weird, i have not yet
decided whether i like it or not. Cornetti are big croissant things
filled with creme and a bunch of stuff those things are very delicious. No
choices in cereal but they have vegetables I didn’t know existed so that's
something. Other than those things and a few small things the few is just plain
good all around.

Our meeting with Carlo today didn't happen, but we set up one for tomorrow so hopefully that works out for us. I got to help teach English Course, which is always way fun and they relate to me and i relate to them because we are both trying really hard to learn a new language and its just fun.

We taught Carlo toady about 2 Nephi 31 and talked about that and we are hoping he'll come back around soon since he is having troubles right now and we are doing what we can to give him hope and faith for the future. We got to eat dinner with a couple from the ward and a non-member family who go to English course, it was a great night and we ate really good food and shared super fun stories.

24 Nov--Thanksgiving
We visited a less active member who is having trouble with smoking but we went over and read the book of Mormon with him and we talked for a long time. Before English course one the girls from the non-member family we ate with cam early with her family and brought her alto saxophone and played for a while for us and it was awesome to be able to listen to, and it makes me think of all the awesome experiences from band and such. After the day was mostly over we made ourselves a partially American thanksgiving dinner, turkey almost doesn’t exist here so we had fried chicken and mashed potatoes and gravy, along with stuffing and corn, it was a very successful dinner.

We helped a member who was moving this morning and moved his stuff from a fourth floor apartment to a different third floor apartment across town, which wasn’t bad it was the van driver who almost broke everything in the van because he insisted on putting the heaviest cabinet on top of everything which didn’t completely work well. We also out lights into his new house and assembled a dresser thing like three times until we got it right. Also he bought us drinks called "power malt" which is a type of drink from Nigeria, it is for energy or something. It was so terrible, not good at all, but it did give me energy for what that's worth.

26 Nov--Anziano Olsen's Birthday
The sorelle brought Anziano olsen a conetta cake this morning and a Thor soap thing, because he is Thor. We then went to the chiesa (church) and got stuff ready for the thanksgiving party that were having that day. Again turkey is near impossible to find a whole one, so we had sandwiches and a bunch of random half Italian dishes brought by the members. We all had a really fun time and sang songs and ate alot and this party turned very successful because a person from English course wants to take lessons from the sisters so that's super good.

We went to church and taught a lesson in English to all the non Italian members there mostly the epic Afrikani members who always help make super awesome lessons through their questions and insights. We went to a cool members house for dinner and planned a little for the Christmas party which will be very cooland then we ate ham (i think) and cheese quesadillas, the cheese was amazing as always, then we ate basically French fries with out salt and a chocolate cake, which we also took home with us.

So far i have bought a jacket today which was super good because it has actually started raining and stayed rain for today at least up until this point and it has dropped like 10 degrees and I will be going on a scambio (switch) with Anziani in L'Aquila which is much colder than here so this'll be interesting.

Overall I am just loving Italy so far specifically Pescara and
Chieti which are both beautiful cities full of wonderful people. I have
had so e wonderful experiences while here and have grown as much in the
language and experience as i have spiritually and it has just been a constant
growth that shows no sign of stopping. I'm hopeful and positive for the
future so here we go.
Ciao tutti!!
