well hello everyone!!!
 
          Wow! dont have alot of time this week.  So I will keep it short.  things are still awesome here, tons of people in my district have been sick so I have had the opportunity to give a blessing!  there is a tongan guy here that every morning for breakfast he eats 30 hard boiled eggs, so i challenged him and got 14 down and wasnt feeling so hot! haha pictures to come! I was thinking if somebody could send me another sd card for the camera I could send mine home then you wont have to wait 9 weeks to see pictures! haha The older group of Anziani and Sorelle left this week so we stole thier desks that were way nicer! which makes me happy when you spend alot of time in them!  it was supprisingly hard to say goodbye, mostly because I was jealous I had to be here for 6 more weeks haha I dont know how many of you know about Narnia holes, but they are secret hiding places in your room that when the older group leaves they leave stuff in them, and we got some sweet stuff!  If anybody has bens address I would like it please.  It is pretty cool at night we bear our testimony to random people in Italian and last night we did it to some spanish Elders and we could understand each other way good, Italian sounds way better though!!  I recieved 9 Dear Elders and three packages yesturday so thank you everyone so much! I have to be the most loved in the mtc!! More pictures are always appreciated! I love them and so do other people!! they love to see my awesome family and cat!! I love ya'll so much!! keep sending stuff cause it is about to get way more expensive! haha funny thing about them calling us Anziano instead of elder, it literally translates to "old man" haha but in a respective way I guess! haha  sorry this is short, I love ya'll, keep the letters coming.
 
Love,
