December 26, 2016

This week was just awesome in general but at this moment I don’t have a ton of time so i will shrink this email down to pure awesomeness.  We tried to go Caroling in L'Aquila and Ascoli and it worked pretty well in Ascoli and we sang not too terribly in the cold. 
In L'Aquila we painted their house and that was really cool and we were going to go caroling but after the earthquake five years ago the centro still isn’t built so it is basically a ghost town most of the time. But we made good friends in a Christmas mercato.
Then we had an awesome baptism that practically fell in our lap be since she was taught here then moved and came back so she could get baptized by her brother here, so that was amazing to be apart of.  L'Aquila had brought an investigator with them but he was literally in the bathroom for just the actual baptism part so that was a little disappointing pero it was still very spiritual and a happy time.
I got to Skype my family and they are awesome, I love them so much. It was very fun to try to explain to them all of the random things people do here and also their habits that aren’t that good but whatever its Italy. It was great to see them happy and know that what I am doing blesses them.
We got to watch Rise of the Guardians which has a cooler name in Italian that translates to The five legends and that was fun.
