Lots of photos, a Texan car ride, and reunions

Yay it was really fun to talk with you too. (on Mother's Day) 

This week was really awesome. We have had a lot of great things happen this week. One cool thing was we were out on the street one day, minding our own business when a man calls, his name is Roy and he is a ward mission leader in Texas, and he was in the town for a business trip and wondering how he could help us. So we were able to go with him in his car and visit many less-active families to teach them. He couldnt speak Italian but that was okay.

Here I am with three (of my four)  companions that I have had.  Anziano Fiorentino, who trained me on my left, Anziano Green who I am training on the right and Anziano Locklear on the far left. 

 We have mapped out the entire area where we live, with all the people that are members in our branch, and its great! We can now pass by those families a lot.

Ah I made some delicious chicken soup this week 

 I really loved the skype call on Sunday it was great to see all of your faces. We went to Pinos house and he fed us and let us use his computer it was amazing. 

I hope Jeremy does good on his Apush test! Thats so great he is taking that test and worked so hard.

Also one crazy thing that happened this week was that Anziano Locklear came into town. He had to take a 5 hour long cultural class, so he had to come down here all the way down from Merate to take it. It was really fun to see him here and talk about all the people in our branch and how they are doing. 

I really love our branch, they would literally do anything for us if we just ask. I am learning a lot more about the gospel in these days, especially feeling and following the Spirit. I am so happy to be the Lords missionary at this day and time, and to do His work! 

Its so great!

I love you family so much!

Ciao Fino alla prossima settimana
