I had a really cool week this week. We have 3 scheduledbaptisms for saturday, unfortunately it looks like only 1 or 2 might fall through.. this computer is notverygood, the space bar doesnt work too well, so sorry about that. Yesterday we had the worst weather day yet. It was pouring rain all day, so we basically got all out rain stuff on, it was easyfor me because ive got the huge trench coat, and that keptmepretty dry. And we basicallyknocked on doors all morning until our appointments. Our pool of investigators is pretty good, but as far as commitments, they're not doing too well. Isaac, the guy from Ghana is suposed to be baptised on saturday, but he doesnt want to hurt his moms feelings, so he called her again yesterday and she said noagain, hes 25, so he just needs to do whats best for him. We're meeting with himagain tonight and hopefully we'll be able to get some things straight.

Today i had an absolutely incredible p-day... we finally went to Rome. It was incredible we got to do a lot of stuff. We went to the big Moussoulini building and we went to the collosseum and to the spanish steps, also to one reallycool huge fountain and to the hardrock and the vatican,and the pope was talking today so we got to see him. I got a lotof good pics today so i'll send the picture card and the shirts i got you tomoroow hopefully ifi can get to the post office. So today was sweet and the shirts i hopeyou like, i got1 for everybody,youcan all just decide who gets what.

Okay, also, This will be mylastweek with this companion, he goeshome next friday, this transfer is only 5 weeks because president kelly has a important training in germany in a couple of weeks, so normally transfers are 6 weeks. the package that you sent me is here inTerni, i got a notice on my door yesterday and today that the post tried todeliver it, but i wasnt there, so they'll try again tomorrow and then if im not home i need to go to the post office and get it.

well, missionary work is irritating but rewarding. Its irritating because you see theses people that know the churchis true and they just dont want to commit. But when they do commit, its incredible to see their lives change.

I cant begin to tell you how sick i am at eating at members houses. Dont get me wrong, the food is great, but it takes too long, its like a 2 or 3 hour process, so, im going to work on that with my future companion, to either make less eating appointments, or make the way shorter.

Overall, i love it here, the weather is nice now and im getting used to everything, this work isd great, im excited for Terni, and i hope by the time i leave the stake announces that they will receive a ward, almost there. I love this life,

Love you all, good luck with everything, work school,
ctr always!! Love,
