Ciao tutti!
These last two weeks have been a little stressful with the work but I'm still enjoying it. As of now we don't have any investigators we are teaching and much of our day is going out and trying to find new investigators. It's been a little stressful because we have been talking to EVERONE but haven't found anyone who has interest in our message. But it's alright because I feel like I'm working hard and enjoying the mission. However the highlight right now is that we are teaching a boy (Riccardo) and a girl (Tania) who are 7 and 8 years old! These two families asked us if we could teach them so they could be prepared for baptism. One family is Riccardo's family, and the other is Tania's family. But I love it because we get to go to their homes for lunch one a week and teach them one of the missionary lessons and we get great Italian food as well. Both families are super fun and love when we come over. First we teach Ricchi or Tania and then eat with the family. I love these two kids though because both of them have such funny personalities.
The other week we had the Halloween party and it was so fun. The members did a great job decorating the chapel and there was also Haunted houses (scary rooms in the church) the members needed my help so they asked if I could go in one of the scary rooms and hide behind the piano and when one of the members would say a key word I would pound on the Piano/organ and every time the kids would scream. The theme of my scary room was La famiglia Dracula. So a member would take the kids on a tour and members would jump out and scare the kids it was great! Also the food was great and they had a wii connect there and the kids were all dancing. At the end all four of us missionaries started dancing and the members went crazy. I really like my companion Anziano Ibba we speak Italian 24/7 but he knows a little English. We are always laughing and joking and it's great to be around him. It's interesting living in our apartment because we have 2 Europeans and 2 Americans it's super fun though Anziano Mustaferaj from Albania is always joking around and makes us all laugh. Things are going well here we just need to find new Investigators. Love you all and have a great week!
Ben
