Hello,

As for investigators, Dean hasn’t been answering his phone so we haven’t seen him since like a week ago and the lady who had the evil spirt in her home, her name is Graziella and we have a baptismal date for the 14th of April!!!  I’m so excited, she already knows the Book of Mormon  is true and can feel the spirit so much when we come and has already been to church 3 times so I know she will be baptized!  Saturday was a crazy morning we had a lesson with this woman we thought was named Dina which was an investigator we found in the area book  We went to her house and she was saying all this stuff about not wanting to be baptized again and how she was baptized 5 years ago and she also knew the Book of Mormon really well.  Anyway she is actually an ex-communicated member named Diana and was like googley eyed over Anziano Niccoli and I, we were on a scambio together. It was super awkward and she was dressed really immodestly and flirting with us. It was super wierd.  We ran into a guy from Afganistan the other day he was super cool.  He broke every stereotype I had about Afganians, he was half Christian and half Muslim and was really nice but I don’t think we will see him again because he wouldn’t give us his number.  I really wanted to say we were American but I didn’t.  He came to Italy 10 years ago either just after or just before 9/11 and he said he hates his country and the Taliban.

You don’t need to write in Italian.  When you use Google Translate  it is horrible Italian because in speaking Italian you have to conjugate the verbs depending on what kind and how many people you are talking to. You  said Voi alot which means to talk to more than one person but if you consider me a king then you can use Voi!  Then there was Lei and Tu, Lei is used for respect like to old people. Tu is used for  friends. and Loro is like you talking to a friend about a group of people and Noi is “we”. So just write to me in English.

Yes I will take a pic of my companion.  Today we went to this place that literally sells everything you can think of.  It’s kinda like a D.I. or Savers but much bigger and less clothes.  My companion Anziano D'addabbo found an Armani suit and I found a Guess suit but the Guess suit was way too big and fits D'addabbo.  The Armani one was 60 euro and the Guess one was 80 euro but he bought both of them for 50 euro because the lady gave him a discount.  I will definitely be going back in a little bit and seeing if they have anything that would fit!

This week has been soo hot, especially with the suits on and I think we can wear short sleeves again just after conference!!!!

Our time changed forward on Sunday so we are now 8 hours ahead again.

That is basically my week.

Love you so much, have a great week.
