ciao famiglia bella!

this was a very "humbling week" for me. We did a lot of procelyting and we didnt have many lessons, and i've had the flu really bad, but im pretty much over it now, but it sucked, it was not fun.

Sunday night was rough, not a good night at all... at 11pm, we got a call, we didnt pick up, so the guy called again, also this time we didnt pick up, then the third time anz rrokaj picked up. Long story short, this guy told us that he was God, that he woke up in the middle of the night with divine inspiration calling us, he also said that he wanted to be baptiesed and a lot of crazy stuff, then at the end of the call, he started crying, it was a freak phone call. Anyways, it left a bad spirit, and my companinon couldnt sleep, he was freking out, so i had to stay up with him and give him comfort, it was a mess. So, not much sleep that night (btw. we dont know the guy who called us) Then monday night, we got a calll from this same guy, i picked up this time becasue i didnt want any of his crud again. So i picked up and he started saying "io dico" meaning, i say. then i just told this guy to shut up and i rode all over this guy, and put him in his place. He kept talking in a voice that was really weird, and i just told him to knock it off, plain and simple, then i told him to give me his adress and real name, so i could find him and knock his head off, he then hung up the phone and we havent heard from him since, it was weird, but its over now. Anz rrokaj was scared out of his mind, but its all good now. Also, this week we went to see antonella qutie a bit, she was struggling with emotions, she's an incredible member though and shes only been a member for about a month. Everytime we go up there she buys us dinner and she's just the sweetest lady here in italy, the other day she bought me and my companion ties. Shes awesome. News on Godstime and Joy, they had to go to Milano and Sicilia this week to correct some documents to be legal again here in italy, so we didnt see them, but we'll see them later this week. I dont know if i already told you this, but my branch presidents wife is from Arizona (mesa area) she served a mission here, baptised her husband-to-be, then after the mission came backa nd married him, they're a cool family, we went to their house this week, they live in Narni (5 minutes south of Terni) A cool little fact about Narni.. it used to be called Narnia, and this city is where the name of the movie and books came from, "Narnia the wardrobe, i forgot the title"

Im really struggling with my companion right now, we get along fine, its just hes not doing what he should and its killing me. we just rarely ever do companion study becasue he sleeps into like 9 or 9:30 every morning, then when we go out to do procelyting, he doesnt stop anybody, and the things that he says/sings arent thigs missionaries should sing or say, not like swearing, but things that keep the spirit, and im telling him that he's potentially preventing the work from pregressing, but he just doenst care, hes trunky and ready to go home. Well, theres not much i can do, i just need to work my back-side off, and keep serving him. But, im getting a new companion in 3 weeks, so it will be over soon.

well, thats pretty much it. Love you guys
