Buon Natale Tutti!
Wow, I can't believe it's almost Christmas! Soooo crazy. Okay, so yeah, 5
PM for Skype! That'll work for us! But, we also have appointments that day and
will be running around like chickens with our heads cut off, so don't worry if
we're maybe a teeny late calling you!
So, ummm, it's just been a crazy week! We were practicing for a skit that
we were going to do for the ward Christmas party, we 've been trying to get
appointments for Christmas before everyone went out of town and trying to
introduce Sorella Carter to the people we're working with here. We saw
Giovannina this week, who's a new convert that got baptized in March of this
year. She's really sweet and has a super forte testimony. Wow, she's so awesome.
She's really funny because she throws in A LOT of Spanish words when she talks,
and, in fact, so do a lot of the people here, because there are so many South
Americans that live in Italy. One of the Anziani made a joke this week about how
they taught us Italian in the MTC and then dropped us here where everyone speaks
Spanish and Tagolog. I was dying because it's honestly so accurate. Oh,
well.
So, anyways, we spent the first half of the week practicing the song we
were going to sing at the end of our skit at the ward Christmas party, and then
Sorella Carter played it on repeat all Friday to try and help it subconsciously
sink in. Then Saturday morning, when I woke up, Sorella Carter told me that in
the middle of the night I started singing the song in Italian in my sleep. So,
I've now progressed to singing in my sleep. The mission's making me go crazy. Hah
jk. Anywho, our skit ended up being a hit. It was three kids arguing in front of
the Christmas tree over whether Santa was real or not, and while they were
arguing he snuck in the back and got up to all sorts of shenanigans. It was
fun, the anziani are super awesome and we had a good time.
Monday night, we had FHE, but only 2 people showed up, so the missionaries
outnumbered members! But we had fun! Anziano Vasquez's mom had sent him two
little nerf guns so we had a blast shooting each other and having wars with
them. We also planned that we're going to watch our Christmas movie with the
anziani in the church and set up the projectors and haul in all of the couches,
so that'll be fun! We're watching The Lego Movie (anziano pick, not ours, but
it's okay, I was a Lego counselor!).
Okay, questions! I love my new companion! We are having an amazing time
together and we get along really well! She's a huge Harry Potter nerd also and
loves a lot of the same things that I do, so we have fun! She's also a black
belt which adds major cool points. Unfortunately, we don't have any
investigaotrs that are progressing right now. We're having phone problems, we're
not recieving a lot of text messages, and some of our investigators mainly
communicate through text because phones are stinking expensive here, so we're
worried that's why we're not hearing back from them. :( It's okay though! We're
figuring it out! W're going to do some pass bys and try and get in contact with
them again! :)
