It Has Been One Week...Again

Haha another amazing week. We set a baptismal date with Riccardo for this Saturday. He is amazing. It turns out that he was looking for the church, and he found it and is all aboard. He is one of those miracle stories.

With Ernest, the black man from Nigeria, we set a date for February 6th. He is doing really well too. We had an amazing first lesson with him and he understands the purpose of having a prophet. It is really great to see people understand the gospel through the Spirit.

Giuseppe will receive the Aaronic Priesthood this Sunday. We had a really good lesson with him last night on the importance of the Priesthood and why it is important that we are worthy holders of it and how we can use it.

It has been a really good week. On Monday, one of the Senior couples held their monthly Scone Night. It is really fun to watch Italians try such a delicate American food. They really like it. "Definitely American," they say, though.

We had interviews with president this week, and we chatted for a long time about how new mission presidents are called. It was really interesting. And then we talked about the usual stuff. He is a really amazing man.

Well Julie, that is way exciting that you got asked to Senior Ball. When I was in your position the theme was "Under the Sea." I wonder if they are recycling themes. Keep me updated. Oh, a word of advice. If your dress is not a normal shade of a color like light blue, pink, or red, give your date a good idea of what color it is, so he doesn't have to fret about showing up at the door and not matching your dress. I was scared about that a few times.

Dad, I am afraid that your mouth won't make it to m y 21st birthday at the rate that it is moving. Just kidding. I bet you are excited for those adventures to be over though.

Well everyone sounds like they are healthy and happy. I am too! Everyone keep doing great. As a recent letter from Elder Warden said, "Word hard, pray hard, and prepare to receive blessings."

Love,
