Wow... this week was another interesting one. To begin, the baptism did not happen. We were super bummed but when everything gets sorted out he'll be ready to go. What ended up happening was we were filling out all of his information THE DAY BEFORE the baptism certificate so he could be put into the church file and as we were asking him questions like, when and where were you born, what's your dad/moms name. When was your wife born and he's like wait a moment, I need to ask my wife so he went to ask her came back and told us and then we asked okay when were you married? He's like we're not married... I was like uhh... what do we do? But unfortunately we had to post pone the baptism for another day. We were bummed but we need him to be completely ready! Other news last Wednesday our bikes got robbed!! I was like nooo.... are you serious. Everything was locked up and when we came out after an appointment they were gone. Nothing. So we went to the police station and filed a police report. It was irritating that there are people out there like that and we were without bikes for 3 days and it was really difficult it was funny though we would be walking and Anziano Mustafaraj and I would just start busting up laughing like haha are you serious? Torino is wayy to big to not have bikes. Even taking buses is hard. Anyway we finally got new bikes and things are going a lot better. Something else that happened this week was we had a super powerful lesson with one of our new converts. He's been having a hard time and we had such a good lesson with him. It was cool I was able to tell him two stories about my mission and it really helped. He's such a great guy and hopefully we can help him as much as possible. Our investigator Evan is doing great!! The funniest thing happened in Church this Sunday. In Gospel Principles we were talking about baptism and the teacher asks, okay.. who needs to be baptized? Like in general. He looks around and raises his and and says <<I DO>>!! Haha everyone was laughing he's such a great guy and we are working with him the members are helping out a lot! We also had a conference and it went well the mission is pushing on teaching 15 lessons and right now we are doing pretty good hopefully we can keep it going. Things are going well today it was rainy and today we went to the market that's huge as well as La Mole. Which is what Torino is famous for. Inside is a movie museum and at the end we went to the top and saw the whole city. But yeah things are going well here keep praying for the work here and the people in Italy! Love you all!
