Saturday we had a lesson with some less actives and committed 30 of them to follow the word of wisdom. They kind of accepted so I'm not sure what will happen but I hope they get serious about it. Then we had a lesson with an African that came to church last Sunday and he seems to understand pretty well and understands the restoration. Because Africans aren't educated that much it is very important that they understand or we won't teach them. Then we had a couple more appointments. Saturday morning we saw an apartment but it wasn't good. Then that after noon we had a lesson with a guy thats 24 and super cool he asks a ton of questions and he wants to hang out with us he is super cool! Then we were late for an appointment with some less actives and they had a friend over and he was very interested so we should have another appointment with him this week hopefully.
Last Thursday we had to do weekly planning because we had a stack full of appointments. Then we had a member present a lesson with a lady who is a friend of a member who came to the Halloween party and also the Christmas party. She is really interested because she feels a completely different spirit with our members like they are actually good people and not fake like the catholics. It was really fun we asked the member to talk about prophets and she started talking about animal sacrifices; it was bad but just super funny because like who starts talking about that? Our appointment there was super long and so we had to cancel another appointment.

Sunday we were super full but we didn't have any investigators. and we just had lots of finding work to do. Then Monday we had to go to Alessandria and we missed our train and so I was praying that there would be another because as district leader I have to report numbers so couldn't really miss it. There was another train, a nicer, faster one, and we beat the other train getting there haha. Then someone called us and wanted to have a lesson with us, a new convert that is a little crazy and she is following everything but not coming to church. She explained it is because she doesn't like the members and feels alone so we hope the ward will warm up. Then we are re-teaching a new convert,/less active, everything.
Yesterday we saw an apartment that we might take that is super nice with 2 bathrooms and a huge kitchen. Lots of lessons, this week was really good!
Anz. Merrill is from Chandler Arizona. I can't wait to go home and go snowboarding again! You guys have so much snow! It's pretty much spring here. I have literally the last few days at lunch gone out on our balcony and tanned haha. I wanted to bring Parker some stuff. Don't buy him that coat you bought me. When I get home I will just send it to him because it is still brand new! and make sure he gets good luggage and ecco shoes.
Ok I will get people stuff. Shouldn't cost too much right now, everything is like 50% or more off. I love SALES IN ITALY!
Well love you have a great week.
