December 18, 2016 Nativity

13 Dic
We were able to give un'altro benedizione to a member again today. We were also ironically late to a lesson with Carlo since he is usually an hour or a half an hour late so that will never happen again. English course is always awesome.
14 Dic
We went to check on a less active member but when we got to his door, his doctor was there waiting on the doorstep as well.  We figured he wasn't home and wanted to ask the guy if he would give this member a message for us but he was on his phone so we had to wait. While we waited a friend of his joined us on this doorstep so it was a doctor, two missionaries, and a random lady on a doorstep of an empty house. It was just a wierd circumstance.
We were able to have an awesome appointment with the Maccione family they are way cool and had un bellisimo painting on their wall.
15 Dic
Today we actually tried to get to Rome and we made it there without anything strange happening for the first time ever.  Until we actually got to Rome.  The assistants to the president said they would pick us up but after we got there they said they were out of gas so they couldn't get us but that they would make us dinner.  We took a bus and didn't stop to eat since they would make us dinner but after we got there they hadnt made dinner so that was fun, but it all worked out we still got to eat and the assistants to the president are really awesome and very kind so that makes up for it.
16 Dic
We had specialized training in Rome and it was super cool. All the new missionaries bore their testimonies in Italian so that was fun. (Me, Anziano Macdonald, e Sorella Lee).  Then we had a zone nativity i was a shepherd and anz. Macdonald was the crazy awesome donkey in the right side corner, because he's awesome.
17 Dic
An investigator of the sisters had a baptismal interview today and she is being baptized on the 24th so thats going to be a great Christmas eve present.  We also had the christmas party and watched joy to the world and we as missionaries spoke and the Africani did an awesome dance that they do in Nigeria it was loud and awesome.  We also obviously ate food for an hour or so until it was time to go.
18 Dic
We had a great church, I taught a lesson in english by my self with Victor and he is always fun to teach becuase he knows a lot and asks deep questions.  After church we went to Victor's casa e helped him fix his lights again, we built two cabinetsm and took three couches and a TV to the trash.  Victor and his wife being the amazing people that they are gave us a huge bag of food, like so much food, for all the service we have done to help them move into their house.  That will be the gift that will keep giving for the next couple months.
19 Dic
Today was exciting, we were going to get on a train and head to Ascoli right off the bat and spend a p-day there, but we got on the wrong train and went from Pescara to Sulmona (if you look at a map all of this will make more sense) and had to get off there and buy tickets and take a train back to Pescara and buy new tickets to Ascoli and wait an hour for the train, but it's all good because we are getting to were we need to go eventually we are almost there while I write this so hopefully nothing else will go wrong.
I have extra time so I will write some random italian below for anyone that wants it.
Noi abbiamo caminato giù la strada e noi vedevamo tonto luogi che vedersi cornetti. Cornetti sono avere un gusto che è molto molto buonisimo.  Noi abbiamo unico tre euro ma che è abbastanza comprare uno cornetto.  Proviamo comprare due di loro, quindi mio amico detto a me, "bocca all' lupo" a cui io do lui una risposta di "crepe". Dopo io ho comprato i cornetti, io ho mangiato tutte due di loro prima abbiamo lasciato il negozio.

This may not be perfect (disclaimer)
