P-Day #50


BUENOS DIAS!!!! 
Yes I am also learning Spanish and Chinese...I cant wait to talk to Mr. Fong and speak Chinese with him! 
This week not much happened! 
We went to Cinque Terre today...not all of them just Rio Maggiore and the second one I don’t remember what it is called but it was really cool those are some pics! 
One is a bunch of locks and you go there and it’s called "via del amore"  Anyways it was really cool you then take a lock and write you and the other persons name on it then lock it up! Obviously us as missionaries we forgot to bring our lock so we will have to go another time. 
The first pic is a bad picture of Rio Maggiore it would have been better but the better pic I took is kinda fuzzy. 
Then there is me and my comp right down there by the ocean chillin like two gangstas! Sooo I’m just gonna shave my head completely when I come home there is no point in trying to have hair anymore!!!! I don’t like this! I’m going BALD!!!! 
Then the last pic is the pic of the second town I think Manarola or something like that I do not remember exactly! I have bad memory these days!
So how has wonderful Utah been?? Oh you prolly wouldn’t know cause you haven’t even been there!!! man lets hope the house is still there and some gypsies haven’t moved in! 
Anyways so the week 
Well lets go over food as we all know I love to talk about food. Well this week lets say it wasn’t something so enjoyable last p day as you know I had no money so....I had to use what money I had to buy the groceries for the week. Usually I spend around 20 euro and that’s without any good snacks or drinks. Maybe more around 16 anyways the money I had on me wasn’t very much, in fact I opened up my backpack pulled out my change holder and low and behold I had 3 euro and 80 cents.!!! Now did I pay attention to the prices of the food!!!! I ended up getting 6 items for 3 euro and 50 cents!!! That was amazing!!! And it was enough to get me through the week!! MIRACLES!!!
Now I have some money to get me through this week so that is good. I will be cooking good in the palazzo in fact I’m gonna make a pasta with pineapple and peppers this week! Yes I will take a picture of it for you all!! Its gonna be so good!!! Makin me very hungry! In fact we just got back from la pia I think that’s how you spell it, a good pizzeria in La Spezia you pay for the amount of pizza you want so if you only want to spend 3 euro you tell them 3 euros worth of pizza and they put up on a scale and what not then there is your 3 euro pizza!!!!! almighty so there is the food for the week!! 
So this week well there is a member in the ward her name is Sorella Sarti she is an older lady I think I have sent a picture of her before, anyways she just loves us and always feeds us and she has been having a real hard time with this heat lately! So I asked her if she had a fan and she said ya but it was really little and old so I decided to go out and I got her a nice fan cause she doesn’t have air conditioning either and she only has a bike so she cant really bring a fan home. Anyways we went got her a fan and we put it together for her! At first she was very very upset I purchased a fan for her. But then she started crying and was extremely happy cause she has literally been dying of heat! She said her prayers have finally been answered. She has been waiting on the branch here to help her out so we did that and it was a very cool experience (don’t worry it was a nice fan just a cheap one that’s a little bigger, in fact I had purchased something there before but then decided to return it so I took it back and got a fan plus 10 euro so it was a win win situation!!!). So that was a really fun. Then we finally met with Fabio and we got to set a baptismal date with him!!! YAY!!! We set it up for the 11th of august!!! And also tonight there will be a boy named Francesco who is 12 we are going to set a date with for the 11th of August!!!
Fabio really has the desire to get baptized he just has to read the book of mormon. We had a lesson with him on Sunday right after church and we had our new returned ex Anziano Marino who served in the Milano mission and just got back home two weeks ago (weird he served in his own mission...the boundaries changed while he was out.) anyways we had him help us with the lesson and it went really well then he had to leave so he left and I was able to bring things back into our ball park, and then presidente veuntura came in and he just decided to teach fabio on his own....i think we gotta hold a preach my gospel class for the members here! 
Lets see some numbers for you all!!! You ready! 
Well the Italy Milan mission averages 1.9 new investigators each week. And here in Pisa we usually get maybe 1 or 2 in 6 weeks until we decided to take up the plate finally and do some good work this week we finished with 20 lessons right on the dot and 5 new investigators and a baptismal date those are some pretty awesome numbers I don’t want to focus on them but that’s just so you can have an idea of how a week goes. 5 new investigators isn’t normal usually. So  this past week we have been doing a lot of finding work and pass bys on inactive members. Long hard work but its good. Then while we were waiting at church for our meeting I saw the book "dottrina di salvezza " the doctrine of salvation. So i kinda broke the rules and i opened it and read some of it! CRAZY STUFF IS IN THERE!!! i gotta read that book (in English) when i come home!!! but I really just want to go and do just finding work and warn everyone about the second coming and the things that will happen and how we can prepare our selves it so nuts! got me pumped up to go save some damsels in distress hahahahaha. 
Anyways that’s really all there is for the week so have a good week 
avete un buona settimana! se hai bisogno, puoi sempre da mi una chiamata!....not really that would be bad! 
well have a good week 
tell dad i say hi and hope he is doing well there and enjoying work! 
love you all
bye bye.
