HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARSON!!!

This beautiful baby boy is TWENTY! 😁

We celebrated him all weekend.

Saturday night dinner at Ti Amo here in town...

then today we did a family dinner with Tiramisu as our birthday cake.

Next year, we will invite him to join us.

Nutella spaghetti 🍝 🥴

 These weeks are going so fast it's actually crazy. If I counted right with my fingers, I've got less than 7 months but I promise I'm not counting

My comp found this lady for English course a while ago and she finally rocked up! She's from Russia and lives away from the fam but we talked about temples and our relationship with God and she was super interested so we let the sorelle take over and we'll see where it goes🤠

We played jeopardy for our English course and it was so freaking fun. After they took us out to Kebab which is super nice of them. They told us next week (last in area) they will treat us to all you can eat pizza again😋 also our friend from bari told us we need to make Nutella spegatti but I feel like that's Apostasy

The first counselor called me on Saturday night at 9:15 to give me a talk to that was sick. It was actually the first time I felt excited to talk and after, the second counselor gave me a shout out in his talk and said I could just take my tag off and become a normal member if I wanted to

Italian for the week: gli spaghetti is the spaghetti 🍝 😋

preachin' to the preacher

 This week was extrordinary! We found 2 new younger guys that is SOLID and I could not be more excited. Finding the elect (especially the young-ins) has been hard here for me but this week, it seemed like heavenly father really touched the hearts of those we shared the gospel with

Other than the finding, we went to a different church on Saturday with a friend from English course and it was delightful 😊 the preacher noticed us before he started and directed a lot of his comments and remarks to the "new people" in the congregation. 

- Anyways, if I understood right, they believe that the messiah will come to Terni because Terni and Bethlehem are both small places on the out skits of the religious *hot pockets* of the world (one may say) with Geruselleme and hebrewism and Rome and Catholicism

- After the mass, I chatted up some people😏 (consisted of me coughing while saying "you're church is wrong" then walking away) (haha jk) but actually while talking to this guy, the preacher came over and legit ALL 40 people in the congregation surrounded us. The tension could have been thrashed with a knife. After introducing ourselves, I hit this man with my testimony of prayer and communication with heavenly father and asked him why they do recited prayers. Guys I'm not kidding... I was actually kinda nervous and had no idea what he said back but he slipped me a prayer card with baby Jesus and called it goods

2 weeks left in the transfer so I'll have my birthday, transfer calls and then go to my new place🤠 I'll be sad to leave after almost 8 months here but always good to experience new stuff

Ciao ciao,

Sickness Prevails

 I was sick for a good bit of this week which was such a shame. It really makes working a lot harder 

Not many pics this week but we had a guy from English course pull up 30 minutes early and give us pizza and then leave before the course which was nice of him

Also a cool miracles was that a mom and daughter from English course agreed to take the lessons with the sisters and the mom was fine with the daughter "being baptized a mormon" hahaha. W's all around

Our most progressing friend said he's sick of us and doesn't want to meet for a bit but it's ok bc we are only taking W's

Gesù Cristo è il salvatore e redentore del mondo. Non temere, solo abbi fede
