 my secret grandparents of asian descent🤭😑😳

The work is slow here. Kinda of just for us though because weve spent half of our time trying to get me my booster hahah. It's been such a hastle but we've been having some success! As for the little miracles in my life: Fabio, our current progressing friend is close to baptism! We had a fun scripture read in 2 Nephi about the cursed black lamanites that every one thinks is racist and he completely understood it, even defended it! it was sick to say the least 


Yesterday was its own miracle. We set 4 informal lessons with people over Facebook and two of the 4 not only picked up, but were very interested in the gospel! One guy (Naravisco) said (well at least what my comp I and I thought he said) was that he saw Jesus Christ in a vision so that's when I jumped in and was like "hey that's crazy I bet youd like this other story of a guy that's seen Jesus!"😂 it was so fun. I'm glad to say I'm finding the joy in missionary work. Hahaha I've reached the point where I'd rather be here than come home and be in college so I think that's good🤷


For some reason (a pretty logical one) people think that I'm Asian. Its not a joke I'm serious. This week, the other Anziani in our apartment told me that one of there investigators saw me and was convinced I was Chinese. Hahah it's the funniest thing because this has happened more than once. To be completely honest, I can count like 4 times that people thought I was Asian. At some point my last district leader thought I was asain🤔 to be fair, I've always had a very squinty smile and now that I've been on the mission, my hair is very short and very pokie. If you have thought this at least once about me, please reach out and tell me. Is this something that everyone thinks and is too scared to tell me...?😰


This is old news but I just wanted to toot my own horn real quick. Back in Kansas we'd occasionally eat hot dogs for lunch and one time I was feeling adventurous so I messed around and ate 4. It's my new personal best for hot dogs😌 it's not much but it's an honest work


We had a fun giro (tour) around Rome today so I'll attach some of the pictures that passed the test of my liking


Italian for the week: mio figlio "my son" 


Vi voglio benississississississimo

The only picture that needs explaining is me with the mysterious white powder on my face. I swear it's powered sugar. And the cake looking is called pandoro and we eat it twice a week. Put simply, it's white bread (about 10 loaves per slice) with powered sugar. If I come home wit diabetes we know what it came from
