Happy Birthday to both of you, I just want to tell you how thankful I am for you and everything you all have done for me!! You have been an amazing support for and example for me when i was growing up and I have learned about life in general but also how to be the best parents ever! 

I want you to know how absolutely proud I am to be your son and the blessing it is to have been able to be raised by you! 

I love you guys and hope I can grow up to be like you! (:

OK, I will start off with something sort of disappointing. We have been practicing with a member who plays the piano to do a singing musical number, my comp. and I, so we have been practicing a little to get Credo in te Gesú (i believe in Christ) to sound really good then before church her baby got sick so we couldn't do it and transfers are today so if we are transfered I'll do it with my next comp or something or vice versa or something, chi ne sach. 

One of our simpatezzanti Alessandro, we have met with him like three times in three weeks (that's probably terrible for an American missionary but va boh) but he has come to church 3 times and has made great friends with the members so we are excited for him whether we get to continue teaching him or another set of Anziani come in.  

We have this really cool member family here and for a lunch appointment with them, they took us up to a mountain and we had a barbecue and it was just super fun to spend time with their family. 

Ok miracle time, when we were walking to church (we were running late, so it was happenstance) and this guy pulls close to us then pulls directly in front of us and blocks our path and says out the window siete mormoni (you are Mormons?) so we talk with him he has a friend from church that he had talked to and he wanted a book of Mormon, he has one now, and he said he couldn't come to church this week but he will next week so we hope good on this one. Also named Alessandro so that'll be fun to try to differentiate them when speaking. 

Lastly,  for Pday I went with a group to Mount Vesuvius, you know that one volcano that blew up and destroyed a bunch of cities and all that good stuff. 

We took a train then a bus then walked for about 30 minutes and it was one of the best views of the cities I have ever seen, We can practicaly see every city in the zone almost. The volcano was more just a mountain with a valley in it but that view was totally worth it and now I can say I did it at very least. 

You are all awesome I hope you great weeks!!
