Well hello! Everybody!!!

This week has been a great week in fact we took our p day yesterday! So that was nice. Me being sr. comp I get to decide where we go and what we do!!! (not really just joking) but anyways I’m here in Pisa right now so please take a guess as to what we could have possibly done for p day yesterday....don’t look at the pics yet, that’s cheating! Ok any guesses. Ok mom hold your breath cause your prolly gonna scream when you see this photo!!!!

Ok this is the picture right when you walk out of the station!.....

Do you recognize it???? hmmm???? Well! 

Think harder!!...you prolly don’t need to think about what that place is! But yes it is VENEZIA!!!!!! I WAS IN VENICE YESTERDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU WERE IN UTAH AND I WAS IN VENICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

What a p day!! I bet you never even imagined it!!

So ya listen to our week well Thursday we went to Milano and I met my new comp Anz Love from Centerville Utah, he is really cool, we get along well. So we got home from Milano and did our shopping for the week. Then Friday we did our weekly planning then we went out and started working it was a great day we taught 6 lessons. Then Saturday we went around did some finding work and stopped by my favorite member Sorella Sarti!!! She is crazy!!!! She is soo funny! She loves having us over. She is an older lady and has a non member grand daughter that lives with her. Her grand daughter is Isabella she is 20 and I have only seen her 2 times now. But we want to start working with her and get her baptized. And as we were leaving Sorella Sarti has Isabella come out to show us what she looks like. (Cause she is always hiding in her room) then after Sarti says to me "Ohh Mitch se potessi darti Isabella, ti darebbe isabella senza proviso" something like that plus I cant spell italian words, but in English she said. if I could give you Isabella I would give her to you with out a second thought. (Something along those lines in English) Hahahaha!

Then Sunday we went to the house of Angelo and Paolo and we had lunch with them.....wow!!! We had a plate of pasta that was seriously a kilo in weight I don’t know what that is in pounds but it was a lot of pasta...then after we had Tiramisù....WOW CHE BUONISSIMO!!! BEST TIRAMISù I HAVE HAD ON THE MISSION!!  don’t worry it was made by a member so there was no coffee in it....like the tiramisu you ate mother!!!!!!!!!!!! WORD OF WISDOM!!!!! So after that my comp and me wanted to barf we ate so much food, then we went and took a giro around Lucca, walked along the wall and through centro and what not it was sweet! Then Monday is where things get crazy (oh ya Fabio was sick Sunday so we didn’t get to see him :( ) MONDAY we had to go to Modena for a conference so we got up early got on our bikes  locked them up at the station and caught our train at 6 33 am!!!! Then we have to go to Padova (right next to Venice) for my comps permesso appointment. So I have the great idea to ask Pres if we can go to Venice since we are right next to it!! And he says "well you just gotta go there if your gonna be that close"! SWEET so after the meeting we grabbed our stuff and headed for Padova. It was very long trip but it was nice. Then we got to Padova and slept over at the anziani di padovas apartment. Then TUESDAY IS NUTS!!! Wake up go to the appointment at 9 o clock get out within 2 seconds and we head for Venice! booo ya!!! We went to Venice saw a lot of stuff. I tried to take out money from the atm...(20 euro) and it said denied... I’m only use to that with the mission card they give you I never have money on that. So I tried my mission card and denied! hmm my personal card didn’t work and I’m in Padova with no mission funds and i want to go to Venice. So I try with my other personal one, that one that prolly has no money on it. and i got 20 euro. (remember how it sometimes takes it out of savings instead of checking..debit card is dumb)  so we go to Venice do the Venice thing and come back to Padova...now i am stuck in Padova with absolutely no money! So I turn to my companion and he already knew what I was going to ask! and I said "you know you want to buy my ticket back to Pisa...gem!" haha so we got a cheap ticket and took a 4 hour train ride to Pisa! As I said early we locked our bikes up at the station...locking up a bike at the station is basically saying "please steal my bike" and I just didn’t even think about it. But we had left them there over night and on the train ride home I thought of that. and if you lock up your bikes overnight at the station the mission will not help you get another bike. So I thought to my self...CRAP!!! I AM SOO STUPID!!! But it just didn’t even come to mind to not take them to the station! ahh so I prayed for several hours and had my comp pray that our bikes would be there!

We got to Pisa it was 6 o clock we slowly walked out of the station and saw a black and gold bike still chained together!! HALLEGUAH (I don’t know how you spell that word) it was a miracle!!! Then we went home got all situated and we went out to work for only 2 hours and in those 2 hours we taught 3 lessons and found 2 new investigators!!! Now that’s usually a whole days work is 3 lessons with no investigators so it was an amazing evening!! Taught a really cool guy from Congo! 

And now I am here! 

So real quick I have some things I need to know...is there anyway I can find out what my GPA was that I graduated with...if so could you please find that out for me...I know its around 1.1 !!! But I don’t know exactly then I need to know cause everyone in my group is starting to think about school and getting things ready to register! Well what do I do!!! So could you please send me some info I don’t know of what but of something or just look up something about, Dixie state, BYU provo (bleh) and BYU Hawaii!!! And lets see if I can get in any, and what they offer for studies! 

Oh yes and being sr. comp is very fun I like it! I’m the grande esempio now! Jk!! yay!!!!!
