FIRE!!!

Ciao Tutti!
Really weird week! We got a new companion!! So now we are 3 missionaries. His name is Anziano Johnson and is from Greenwood Village, Colorado. What happened was there was some problems with some other missionaries in another city so they took Anziano Johnson's companion and sent him there while we took Anziano Johnson. Anziano Johnson has been in the mission for about 2 months and is super funny. But when president called me to tell me that he was sending him here he said by the end of this week he will get a new companion. But now we are SUPER busy!!!! Anziano Johnson is from another part of Genova so now we have to cover his area.. and ours as well!! So we've been in the train a lot these past few days. It's a little stressful but we are having alot of fun doing it! Also these past few days we have got a ton of numbers and people who are interested in hearing our message. In fact the other day we taught someone who was blind. We looked at the area book and called this guy up. Really cool guy and we should teach him again in about 2 weeks is just super busy. Also this last week was Anz. Hasens Birthday!! Haha I totally forgot about it but we did a scambio on his birthday and the guy who was doing a scambio with him called to tell me some things and was like oh, and by the way you know it's your comps b-day today. Uhh.... yeahh of course. So that next morning I made him some lemon cookies that mom sent in my Christmas package. I made the first batch and when I went to check how things were I realized they were a little burnt. So I put it on the hot pad and quickly took the burned but still edible cookies and put some new ones on and threw them back in the oven. After 10 minutes the buzzer went off and I went to check up on it it and the was smoke EVERYWHERE!! FIRE!! So I scream to my comp and turn off the oven, then the fire alarm goes off and there's just chaos! We open all the windows and turn the alarm off. So much smoke. So what happened was when I put the pan on the hot pad, the hot pad stuck to the pan, so after it fell to the bottom of the oven and burned. Haha but the second batch turned out a lot better and Anziano Hasen was super happy that I made him some cookies for his Birthday. Lately I've felt a little tired just because we are running around all day and just a lot to do but this p'day we should rest. Things are going great here and Erinio should be back here in Genova!! So this Thursday I'll give him a call to see how things are going. I'm having a lot of fun and working hard. It's nice being in three because no one gets by without someone talking to them. We are talking to everyone and getting a lot of numbers this week it's just getting these people progressing towards baptism. Thanks for all the support you're all great!
Anziano Thomas
