After a quick district meeting, I went with Anziano Houseman to L'Aquila which was colder than I thought, so I am super glad that I bought a jacket the day prior, however the mountains covered in snow was very beautiful, their view from their apartment is way amazing. Although we got two bidones (lesson cancelations)we gave out cards in the feezing cold.

My collega came up to get me from L'Aquila and the zone leaders had called us and asked us to come to Terni so after working at a mensa (food kitchen for refugees) which was fun, and eating Nigerian "stew" super super spicy meat sauce on white rice (it was actually good when your mouth wasnt dying) (also this guy eats the bones from the meat, i didnt think that was possible but he just crunches'em like nothing... he's awesome) anyway we tried to get to the bus station but no bus showed up to take us there so we couldn't go and just had to head home. And we unfortunately got another bidone.

After getting yet un'altro bidone, we took the member who was going to be present for the lesson for a walk and talked with them and it was super cool. We went across a bridge that leans outward that has a cool view. We got another bidone, then we went hometeaching with Gianni to a couple's house it was a good lesson.

After a few hours of weekly planning we were again asked to join the zone leaders in Terni so we hopped on a bus as quickly as we could. To get to Terni from Pescara you have to take a bus to Rome and a train to Terni. So after the bus ride to Roma we arrived at almost nine but they said ok take a train here anyway so we went to buy a ticket and the next train didn't leave until eleven at night so we were told to wait for the assistants to the president to pick us up and we spent the night in Roma.

For the third time we headed out to Terni and we actually made this time. It was great, we stayed with Anziani Blackwell, Segura, Whited, and Vance. I went on a scambio with Anziano Segura and we went all the way up to Perugia (the most northern major city in my mission) and a had lunch with a non-member family and gave a good lesson. Then we came back to Terni and went to a centro (town center thing) and wrote on a sheet SiiUnaLuce (italian version of the church's christmas theme) be a light. I talked some guys from senagal and another from Afghanistan they were pretty awesome.

We had a stake conference in Roma so from Terni we got a ride with a member with an awesome car and we went 160 on a 90 road. (kmph not mph) like 100 mph. It was awesome. We made great time.
At the meeting almost all the speakers spoke all Italian so it was hard to understand everything but with the words i did get and the one guy who spoke english it was really cool. We can always be better and there is always a way small or great to share your light with the world. I also got to see Anz. Macdonald my MTCi collega and that was super great to see him again and catch up a little. I also saw Sor. Lee and Graff there too, always cool to see people you know. We came back to Pescara did correlation really quick and as i ate dinner i found out that mayonnaise on pizza when ranch doesn't exist is a pretty good substitute.

We did a bunch of service today, we helped Carlos's mom to move furniture and fix a bunch of stuff. I learned how to fix cabinets and countertops and tvs and how to replace or swap cord plugs which was pretty cool. We also gave a blessing to a Brazilian sister that was super nice.
