hey guys, this was a weird week...
on wednesday, we went to Taranto to meet the missionaries there, and me and Anziano Schwing prepared our training for Zone Conference, and the planning went well, our training was on prayer and using the book of mormon while teaching. then on thursday, we had zone conference in Bari, and it was a lot of fun. President Kelly is one of the most inspired people i've ever met, he is the man, and he gave a really good training, I really liked it, and then us and the assistants did our's. then we drove home with the Thompson's and we got back late. then on sunday, Stefania and Antonio received the Holy Ghost and it was really special for me. I got to impart the blessing on Antonio, and it was really spiritual, it was a long blessing and i wanted to stop so many times, but the spirit wanted to keep going, and so i did. It was great because Gian Luca, one of our investigators, whose the son of Stefania came and also his 2 other sisters. Then on monday, i had to go to the orthodontist because about 1 month ago, i got a cut on the inside of my mouth, right where my retainer goes, and so every time i put my retainer in, it kills my mouth and hurts so bad. And so i can only leave it in for about 10 minutes and then i cant use it again for about 3 days to let swelling to go down. So, i had enough and i went with my branch president and he used to work at this place, so, i got a nice hook up, and i got right in and they cut out some of the plastic and so it didnt irritate me anymore, and then the doctor said i broke it because the swelling in my mouth was really bad, and it cracked it a little bit, so, he he needs to fix it, and i'll probably get it back by the end of this week.

We've also tried a few new things this week, we've organized and italian class for the immigrants. Then we went to a few schools to see if we could present our church to the students, and this is going to be sweet. Im really excited about this. I'm not sure when and even if we'll be allowed to do it, but one of the school presidents is thinking about it, and with another, we need to go back to talk with another day.

Last thing, yesterday after English class, we went to see the football team of Crotone and they're not really good, so my companion (who played QB in college) and i, threw the ball around and it was funny, all of the players just stopped and watched us. Most of it's becasue my comp has a rocket as an arm, and he throws the ball like he's got a cannon as an arm.

That was basically it for this week, it wasn't too exciting, but it was very productive, and the the fruits are coming forth.

ciao ciao ciao vi voglio trecento sacchi di bene,
