July 23, 2013


Okay, this was a crazy week, so hold on tight!

     Last Saturday night when I emailed we also had a ward activity (talent show) but we had a lesson planned (we got stood up) so we went to the talent show.  It was a lot of fun and got a super sweet contact out of it.  There is a blind kid named Robert who comes to English course, he is 18 and super cool, he came and loved it!  So we invited him to church and he came!
     But first thing Sunday morning we drove down to the Trevi fountain to pick up Elder Evans and his wife!  So we went to church with them, and in church we had Elder Evans (first quorum of the 70) Elder De Feo (an area 70), the stake president, and the mission president!  It was so sweet!  Anziano Evans spoke alot about the mission presidents broadcast and about how missionary work is changing.
     After church we went to the temple site...... where we got on!!!!  We were the first missionaries to make it on!  Our last mission president didn't even get on!  We didn't get the full tour but it was still super cool!  Then we went to the mission home where we ate lunch and got to hang out with Elder Evans for another couple hours and ask all kinds of questions, and the direction they are taking missionary work will be incredible! 
     And as we were taking him back to his hotel, we decided to see Rome, and the Colosseum!  So we walked around with them looking at downtown Rome, also got my picture with them in front of the Colosseum!  Monday we left super early for Bari, takes about four and a half hours to get there, then we did the leadership council, got some famous sandwiches, then went to Bitonto to do exchanges!  And it went super well and we had alot of success!
     The next day was another zone conference, which is always fun, we got out of there pretty late and ended up getting home around midnight!  Wahoo!  And today for p day I bought a tie!  It was a good day!  Hope all is well with all of you and hope it continues to go well!  And nobody worry about sending me packages for the year mark! 

love y'all!
