Ahh! I hope you all had an awesome week! It sure sounds like it!
Okay, questions.
It rained the first two P-days
and there's been a few weeks were it came down like crazy, the coat is great,
the boots aren't quite as waterproof as we were hoping. That's okay, though, I'm
doing great! I don't think we really celebrate Thanksgiving, but we've had some
lessons on gratitude in honor of it! The number of investigators coming to
church really fluctuates, last week we had a family of three, the week before 1
person and other weeks none or 1. But it was amazing to have a whole family this
past Sunday!
So, we had the Fingerle conference this Thursday and it was really cool.
Elder Fingerle and his wife were awesome. He said that iPads will soon be used
in all of Western Europe, but he has no idea if Italy is a part of Western or
Southern Europe! Oh, well, he gave us great ideas for getting members to use
social media instead of us! He had this awesome presentation about increasing
our efforts by 1% in everything to have an overall huge increase. It was really
cool and we're trying to put it into practice. Plus, he's getting us really
excited for geneology work. Did you know you can add pictures and recordings and
documents to family search? So cool! One funny thing, he asked if any one did
ballet dancing, but because of his accent we thought he said belly dancing and
we were all just sitting there with mouths open in shock until his wife
clarified. Oh, and Pres Dibb had us reenact the battle at Jericho, so we had
elders running around a "wall" of sisters, it was pretty funny and bizarre.
Also, that day, we met with S, who was the guy we met on a subway and
then he texted us the next day. He was really cool and legit, he said he's going
to go to church in Busto and meet the anziani there, we really hope he
does!
I had another mini scambio with Sorella Hawks and it was awesome to see her
again! I didn't even get us lost! Then Saturday we cleaned the church and while
we were cleaning a police officer came up to the gate and asked to be let in
becuase a suspect had thrown evidnece or something over the gate onto church
property, so that was exciting!
Sunday we had dinner with a member family who were super awesome (the mom
is Sicilian) and the wife taught us how to make tiramisu. They always give us
this coffee substitue here, so I may come home with a coffee addiction, who
knows. Then that night, we met with another member family who had brought us
some focaccia from Genova, which is apparently the best, and it was
amazing!
Monday we had district meeting and an FHE with a member and her daughter.
The daughter, G, was super brava, she had picked out hyms and marked them
in their hymbooks and had prepared a talk to read for the lesson, she was
awesome! We brought dessert, a ponnet(sp?) cake that was super good, but then
the next night, and the ward FHE, the member came up to us and showed us the
ingredients, and there was some alcohol in the cake!! Oh my gosh, we were dying,
we were so embarrassed! We, the missionaries, brought an alcoholic dessert to a
member's home! AHH! Oh, well, we learned our lesson and it'll hopefully never
happen again.
So, that's my week! Sorry, the letter's a little shorter than usual! I hope
you all have an awesome week! I love you!
Love, Sorella Snow
