So this week was actually pretty interesting, we had a visit from one for the senior couples to come check on our apartment and since our apartment is also the church, I mean it has to be clean so,  non fa niente, We just have to fix our doors (a past missionary broke them) we'll figure it out. 

We had an opportunity to help out an old Scotsman in our ward with his compagnia (garden but bigger) and we put in some work with him and he told his stories of being in Saudi Arabia for years and almost being killed the classic,  Scotsman living in Italy,  life. He taught us how to play backgammon (so epic would recommend) and we ate lasagna with his neighbor (the German) who spoke great English and he brought non-alcoholic beer, so you know never drinking that again, it was so bad. But he was pretty curious and now has a Das Buch Mormon so we hope he reads it. 

And then there was Easter, so after church which slowly dwindled from high singles to low singles since half our ward was gone and others couldn't stay for various reasons. 

But afterwards we ate waaaay too much Romanian food with a bunch of members it was a cool and it was really good food and they made more than we as 8 people couldn't finish it. It was a broth with small meat ball things in it and egg roll type things soaked in something and filled with rice and meats. They also had super good mashed potatoes and breaded chicken I think. All of this paired with the Italian standard drink that isn't frizzante water, Coca-Cola. 

really cool views in Ascoli

Oh and we bought a giant 8kg chocolate egg for 9 people you'll see that next week. (oh and there is apparently a giant surprise inside!?
