August 29, 2012

Ciao tutti!
It was another good week here in Bergamo still loving it! Last P'day was great we went to Brescia because it was the last week of transfers and we knew that there would be some changes so 6 of us missionaries got together. I ate the best pizza I've had so far in Italy it's called "O sole Mio" (oh my sun) it was super good. After we went to Stelio (an Italian clothing store) and I bought 12 stelio ties. It was a fun p'day! So this last week we had transfers one Elder from our apartment went to Udine and now we have a new elder named Anziano May from Seattle Washington super good missionary! We have a really fun district. This Sunday was great because we had our investigators Paul and Richard come to church! We had translating equipment for them since Paul speaks a little Italian while Richard is almost none. So we translate for Sacrament. It was great to have them in church! What was cool about this week was we found this new guy named Mareno! Super cool how we found him. So when we do nightly planning we schedule what we will do for every hour of the day and when we schedule finding work we try to picture what kind of person we want to see. For example, one day we could plan to try and find a South American woman with a daughter. Well that night we planned to see an Italian man with Sunglasses and a button up shirt. That day we had to take a train way out to a cittadino called Roman di Lombardia and we started doing finding work and bump into this guy whose wearing sunglasses with a button up shirt and it was Mareno! He's super cool yesterday we took him to the church and walked around and he had a ton of questions and was very interested. It was great! Miracle! So it's been great we've been meeting aton of new people they're just popping up everywhere. Also we had another good lesson with Fausto (the one whose already read 80 pages of the Book of Mormon) we brought a member and talked about the plan of Salvation! Yesterday we had lunch with the Bello Family and it was great we talked about our favorite Book of Mormon character and talked about how we can apply them to our lives! 1 Nephi 19:23. It went great their family is hilarious Fratello Bello really wants to learn English so he kept trying to practice with us! Things are going great loving life right now! Today since Anziano Treadway and May has not been to Città Alta we will probably go today! Thanks for all the prayers!
Anziano Thomas
