{last day of the first transfer!}

Ciao tutti! One transfer already down, they go fast! I'll start back at last p-day is Pescara, we went and saw the beach which was awesome, we went to an African market and I got a sweet watch for Super cheap! Then we hung out in town and went in a bunch of sweet shops and I bought a scarf also. I am now high fashion and fit in better here! haha We also got Kabob, which is like a turkish food that is all kinds of mystery meat roasted and put on a sandwich with hot sauce and stuff, it was incredible! And appearently the best Kabob place is in Rome, so cant wait to go back to Rome in a couple of weeks. Then Thursday we left early in the morning so we could go to another town and get my finger printing and paperwork done for my permesso so I can live here legally. Took a while but wasnt too bad because the church has everything so well organized. But only got a year one, so in about a year I have to go and do it again. I have had gelato quite a few times at different places, but went to my first gelatoria and got some and it was as incredible as everyone says it is! It was pretty cool we were listening to a talk from President Monson this week from the March 2011 confrence and he was talking about temples, and at the end he spends a couple minutes talking about the Rome temple and how incredible it is. It is worth going on lds.org and listening to. Makes me unbelievably excited for the temple dedication! The moment when I was the most proud of myself this weekend was when I made Dad's classic hashbrowns.... perfectly!!! Even with the flip, and they blew my companion out of the water! So I was feeling like hot stuff. haha Transfer calls came last Saturday and my companion did not want to stay here, but Saturday we had a goal to do street in the morning and talk to everyone we saw, we talked to hundreds of people it felt soooo good. Got some quality contacts which was good too. Then we worked our way down to McDonalds and I got my first Italian Big Mac! It was delicious! haha Then in the afternoon and evening we did house, it was average house until one of the last doors we knocked on, the lady invited us in and we taught our lesson "lesson 0" and she decided she wanted to read the entire Book of Mormon in a couple weeks! So that was cool. Then we got the call that we are both staying. None of our investigators came to church which was a bummer but this week they are going to, last transfer we did all the finding, so this transfer we are going to do all the teaching and baptizing! haha Sunday we got a dinner appointment for after chuch! Food was good, alot of it! And we taught a short lesson, but the guy we taught was a family friend and he did not want to listen to us so it was interesting. Monday was finding and we went up to a young guy, Roberto 22, who was baptized a little while ago and he is awesome! And his mom always asks questions about the church. They own a shoe store in town so we thought we would go there and talk to her. She wasnt there, but I found some sick shoes that I need! haha And monday night I made Plum Loco salsa! I made a half batch and it is delicious! Alittle more fresh tasting than normal but incredible! haha I am doing awesome and really looking foreward to this transfer, love yall and have a great week!
