265 Days

February 29, 2012

Ciao,

Sorry I kept meaning to tell you I got the package, I just for some reason always forgot. It was the best package ever!!!!! Thanks so much,  I got the day just after Valentines when we had interviews. Anziano Niccoli said it was the best package he had ever seen!

Well this week has been amazing because it has finally got warm it hit like 70’s I think it was just amazing.  It has cooled off a little but it still feels really good outside.

I didn’t see anything about carnival at all, nothing!! Kind of a bummer, oh well.

Caleb is still wondering why he needs be baptized twice and I can’t tell you how many times Africans have told me that. Africans are just a little slow sometimes so it is hard to teach them. Mirra and Silvano are doing great we just need to invite them to baptism. The last lesson we read with them Alma 40 because they didnt read the last thing we gave them, so read that and recommited them to Mosiah 3 and they actually sat back and listened to us this time instead of asking a lot of questions and going off on tangents.  We have this other investigator named Samson, he is from Ghana and he is a priest for his church, is he a hand full; it is so hard not to bible bash with him so I just try to bear testimony but he is super nice and just wants to know what the Book of Mormon says that the bible doesn’t and if he does get baptized he wouldn’t have a job because he went to college for 4 years and got his degree in bible studies so he will have to have a very powerful testimony to be baptized.

No we haven’t been fed by members here except for once.  I have to cook a lot more here.  We schedule appointments with members but they never want to feed us. but I am such a good cook it doesn’t matter anyway, haha.

Well I’m really jealous of Anziano Owens because we basically just switched spots and he is going to Mantova. I miss that city soo much! and he will be with my past companion there, Anziano Mendel so at least they will have something in common at first and that is me! haha. I will be recieving Anziano D'addabbo, I kinda know him from zone conferences and he just trained an Italian from Sicily, so maybe he can help me with my Italian.

I would send more pics but Modena is not as pretty as Mantova so I will try but I don’t know what to take pics of.

love ya mother  and family,

Jake
