{Week 4}

Happy Halloween! Doesn't really feel like it here haha. Although tom will be interesting because it is the day of the dead holiday for them, and i guess everything is shut down and everyone goes to the cemitary and it is difficult to get stuff done. We will see what we can do! we also have a FHE activity planned for tom where we will be picking chestnut! wahoo!!! should be fun though! it is crazy cold here! just like Idaho, who would have thought! haha English course continues to be way awesome! there is one lady in there that is awesome and said she doesn't even come for the English she comes for the spiritual thought. she should be coming to church this Sunday and hopefully we can begin to teach her. it was cool i was teaching the plan of salvation and people started talking and she yelled at them and told them to shut up because what i was teaching was important! haha i also made Alfredo this week and it was pretty good! haha just like last week we have been doing finding!! my companion said he has never had as many people interested or given out as many book of Mormons as he has with me! haha and he is convinced I should do every door approach because he thinks people can feel the spirit more when i talk! so that is awesome to hear! hopefully i can keep my greeny spirit up. last night we finally had a dinner appointment with a member which would have only been my second, but right before they call and cancelled. we were bummed out and continued to do house. about 30 min later we knocked on this ladies door and she answered and I did my thing and talked about prophets and the book of Mormon, and she invited us in. her friend was there also and the both sat down and we taught our little message. the spirit was about as strong as i have ever felt and the one lady was in tears! they seemed extactic about our message and both accepted books of Mormon and hopefully will be in church this Sunday! so turns out that not going to that dinner appointment was a huge blessing, the Lord works in mysterious ways!!! I love missionary work! Just helping one person feel the spirit makes having 200 doors slammed in your face, people waging thier fingers in you face and having people yell at you all worth it when you have helped one person come closer to Christ! we are in pescara today for pday. it is a very nice city on the coast! makes me want to go hop in the water! and amazing as all the Italian food is, we went to an all you can eat Chinese buffet today!!! and it was incredible!!! ahhaha and had all you can eat gelato, which really is all it is cracked up to be! only got 2 more weeks then i am no longer a greeny!! that will be cool! i always have tons to talk about then i get to the computer and cant think of anything! just so grateful everyday that i am here and decided to come on a mission. i do miss yall like crazy but know yall are doing good. i know it sounds crazy but i also miss taco bell like crazy! haha but eating fresh food ,and besides the 3lbs of gelato i ate today, mostly healthy food, i can really tell a difference and just feel great! here in pescara they have huge outside markets! cant wait till i am in a city with those! my companion got a sweet suit at one for 50 euro! also looking forward to getting some new ties! well i love yall so much!!! and truly hope yall have a great week!
