Sorry I didn’t write to you on my P day but  we went to VENICE or in Italian, Venezia and then Thursday we had zone conference in Verona so we have been two days away from Gorizia. Sorella Walton and I talked for a bit on her last day at transfers and she is very nice.  I hope you enjoyed the note I gave you.

This past week has been sooooo great!  On Saturday  we did some work in the morning then went to the members who we are taking to Redipuglia where all the WW1 stuff is. When we arrived we went in the museum and saw all the guns and machine guns and grenades and gas masks.  I could not imagine wearing the gas masks, it would be so scary also being the Italains because their gas masks were terrible! Then we saw the biggest WW1 Monument in all of Europe possibly of all the world. It is sooooo big and there are probably about 500,000 to 1 million or more names on this monument! Then we continued and went to some of the trenches and they are all in mostly good condition still considering it has been almost 100 years since WW1.  I found a piece of bomb that probably was lodged into some and killed them. To do all that took 10 and a half hours!!

Monday we taught Zachary and he just says he is disturbed all the time and hasnt read yet so we just read with him so we didnt end up teaching the Plan of Salvation. So now we text him a verse to read everyday so he reads.

Tuesday we had English class and they are so funny.  We tricked them by watching the Restoration DVD in English then talking about the church in English then got all their numbers and so we will call them all and see if we can go see them.

Wednesday, our P Day,  we woke up at 6 in the morning took a train at 8 for 2 hours and then talked to a really nice j dub lady for basically 2 hours. then we arrived in you guessed it Venice!!!! It looks exactly like the movies but it is a giant maze we got lost so much. Then later some other missionaries came and we hung out with them.  I bet every nationality in the world was there just like probably everyday but it was definitely nice hearing an American accent all day.  It is just soo beautiful there its just like any other Italian city though but it has canals everywhere and no cars or bikes. Just walking around and looking at things was so tiring, more than being a missionary.  I was literally dead at the end of the day when we had to go back to work. But  I can now check it off my bucket list,  Visted Venice. Also sales are right now and I would like to buy some things if that’s ok.   All the venice masks are super beautiful the only problem is there is just so many people its ridiculous.

We had zone conference yesterday and I learned a lot, it was very uplifting!  Oh, my new companion is from Logan Utah and we get a long super well!!!

well love you guys a ton!!
