Alright my time is short, but i'll give you as much info as i can about this week. First off, we got "bidone'd" a lot ("trash canned", the word we say when we have an appointment and the person either doesnt show or they cancel at the last miunute) So, it wsa tough dealing with that, but, it happens and i just need to keep loving the people. Our investigators are great, i love em all, and we got our first referral since ive been in italy, and this lady has a bap date on oct 9th, her husband also know that church is true, but he smokes and drinks and after we get that handled, he should be baptised as well, they also have a son who is 13, he know the church is true as well, he will most likely be baptised a well, we also have our investigarors Issac for Ghana and Silvia (13 years old but her mom is concerned with her being baptised). So, we have work to do, but we have God on our side, and He will bless us and his Italian Children. This place is "Rocking"! Italy is going to turn into a Brazil very soon, baptisms are happening and lives are changing. Referrals are something that really help the missionaries, and i know you would help me out her in italy if you could, but, your thousands of miles away, so, help the missionaries in your ward, please give them referrals. They will thank you.

Well, honestly, i cant say much else, God's showing us miracles every day, all the time, and its amazing, Friday, we go to Perugia to teach some less actives, gotta go, Love you all

Wow, i cant believe how tough that was, thats bad! I hope that you and everyone else gets healed up quickly, but thats quite an accomplishment, probably close or even passing the 1/2 marathon. Well, its cool you did it and its definitely something that you can brag about, something that barely anyone ever does, so congrats and hopefully you heal up pretty quick. Also, Today, we didnt go to Rome because we had an appointment with an ivestigator who we think is golden, shes 25 from Cuba, obviously she hasnt had any religeous background because cuba is all for communism and its all messed up. So, we think she'll get baptised in a month. Also, we have 2 baptisimal dates for the 9th of october hopefully we'll have 3 though. 1 of the 2 scheduled for that day, he's from ghana and his mom who is still in ghana still doesnt want hime to get baptised, so he needs to make a decision, its tough, he doesnt want to go against her, but he needs to do this and his life will be changed forever.
Okay, so since we're dindt go to rome today, we're going next wendesday, and i'll get some presents for dallin and anika there, i feel bad its going to be late, but i needed to be here for these investigators, i'll try to get something small tonight for them, i have a lesson so it'll try to find something for them, Dad, Mom, Anika, Emily, and Dallin, i love you all, you are the greatest, i am so grateful for all of you and your lives and the examples you are to me, please do me a favor... Pray for my investigators and their families so they will be able to commit to that ordinance that will change their lives forever, please do this for me, i need to see them baptised, because i love them, and they need the baptism becasue they need to change their lives, we'll im incredibly excited for the future of the church here in italia, its incredible, gotta write to Marcus now, Love you all,
