Breakfast at Tiffany's

Ciao Tutti

So I don't have a lot of time today so i might not be able to email any of you sorry!! I will try to write as many letters today as possible!!

Ok first off THERE WAS A BAPTISM THIS WEEK!!! we have a student in our English course whose name is marrizio and he has disabilities and we showed up early one day and he was there so we taught him the first lesson. He was SUPER hard to understand though with our limited Italian. So the Anziani (elders) taught him the rest of the lessons and he was baptized on Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was soooooooooooo amazing you could see a light in him, he is always smiling and he asked if he could bear his testimony in church (which he was going to anyway). He is just so amazing, he is so close to God and I just don't even know how to describe how much he has changed since being baptized. The branch here just adores him!!!! ahhh THE CHURCH IS TRUE!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway this week was pretty awesome! we ran out of money and food for the last week... so on Sunday we were like "what the heck are we going to eat" haha so we made what we call "Italian gulash" hah we put spaghetti, lasagna and ravioli in a pan then put mozzarella and parmesan then we had ricotta in the ravioli.  We put some tomato paste with onion garlic and peppers and then just threw it in one big dish and cooked it. haha! It was SOOOOO good though! We thought it would taste awful but it actually was pretty amazing!

So this week we had a miracle!! on Sunday we had nothing to do but finding for 7 hours so we went out and we met this CRAZY (pauzza), man on the street and he was talking about Obama and we didnt quite understand him, and this kid named Lorenzo came up to us and was like "do you need some help translating??" so he helped us for a while and then Lorenzo invited us over for Sunday dinner with his parents!!! It was sooooo awesome!!! We ate the WORLDS BEST FIGS!!!! I probably ate like half a bowl of figs, they were soooo yummy!! But we hope that we can teach this family!! Then after that we went to try to find a less active but (this is a long story) we started to get followed by some Muslim ladies for over half an hour. So we called the zone leader and he told us to get on the first bus we see. So we hopped on a bus which then took us to an area that we aren't supposed to be in after dark so we decided to hop off the bus (this is like 830 at night) and by this time it's pouring rain!!! So we are sitting at this bus stop in the pouring rain and all of a sudden i just start singing "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and my companion joins in. hahah weird moment but I thought it was worth sharing!

Yesterday we were finding and this guy comes up to me and he is a mime and he is wearing a big clown nose and he just graps one of the billitini (fliers for English course) I was holding and then mimes a thank you and walked a way... it was a pretty weird week!

Also, in case you were wondering, we can see the sea from our church building!!! It's super pretty!!
