okay, im just about out of time, but, i want to let you know how the week went.

it was pretty good, we're working really hard right now and the new companion from Mesa, AZ, Anziano Koozer is a good missionary. We're working really hard and it's been a lot of fun over the past week. we have been doing a lot of workwith the members and less actives lately. I think its sweet. We've gotten 6 referrals this week and thats as many as we've gotten in the past transfer alone. Anyways, yesterday we had a really good day. We went out to visit a member and a less active who livfe out on a mountain about 20 minutes away. We got there and right when we got off the bus we saw an incredible view from the top of this mountain, a few tiny citys of the top of mountains here on the outskirts of Terni. It was really cool. Then the less active we wanted to visit, pulled up behind us in a little tiny vehicle, it was like atruck but a tiny tiny truck, it was funny, you could barely fit 2 people in it and 1 peson sitting in the bed or the truck, so i got to sit outside in the back. He ttok us to the member and we ate there and we got to teach a few lessons to the member's less active 40 year old son and to the guy who picked us up and also to teh meber.. long story short, after the lessons, we ate like kings. wow, it was good stuff. but i felt sick after, these italinas dont know when to stop feeding you. Anyways, we left the house in the afternoon and we missed our bus so we had to walk down the mountain, horrible, like an hour, but on the way we found a less active who lived out in the middle of no where and we talked with them. He was nice to give us a ride down the rest of the mountain. When we got to the bottom, we went and talked to a guy walking his dog and we taught him for about 30 minutes, after we were done he took the book and said, how and where do i buy this book? (its a missionaries dream to hear this question) so, he took the book for free. Then we went out and did some less active work. We found a family and they let us in and we asked for the wife, the husband said she died 2 months ago, and that killed me, i felt horrible. But, it was a great opportunity for us to tell them how powerful God really is and how his presence in their lives will give them comfort at this time in their lives. Unfortunatley the husband was down and he lost his faith, but we will return and we're going to help him find his way back. gotta go really soon, update on joy and godstime, they still want to get baptised, but they missed their train last sunday and didnt come to church, irritated the heck out of me, just come to church and you can get baptised!! (godstime really wants to get baptised, but, hes going to need to wait a little bit longer.

Vi voglio un mucchio bene!!
