HEY HEY HEY!
 
CIAO CIAO! Well i'll just start off by saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you had an awesome birthday and im really jealous that you got to go to AH-SO without me! Sorry i couldn't get to write you yesterday i was getting my Permesso to be able to live here in Italia for 2 years and it took literally 8 hours... it was brutal. But everything went well and now im a citizen of Italia for 2 whole years! 

So thank you all so much for your emails they are always so helpful and bring the biggest smile to my face :) So thats really cool that Tori Johnson got her mission call! She is going to be such a good missionary! tell her i said congrats on the call and that she is going to love every second of it! Im so glad to hear that Serena and Madeline and Haily are rooming up at BYUI they are going to love it (I guess they could have gone to any school and had a blast though since Haily is rooming with them haha)!!! So hey to answer your question Dad about the baptism a member of the church who really started to take Federico under his wing baptized him. His name is Antonio Romano. And Anziano Allen did the confirmation the next sunday during sacrament and i got to participate in the blessing as well. it was so great! 

So this week has been good but a little rougher than the past. We haven't been able to find any new investigators and we are trying new ways so that me might see more success from street contacting and doing door to door. Also, one of our progressing investigators has started to be a little flakey with appointments but we have a lesson with her tomorrow so im really hoping she comes this time because we have a very good lesson prepared for her. Oh! i dont know if i said this in a message before but she is from Panama and she made us homemade tamales.... SO BOMB! 

This week we did have a really good lesson with a lady who is probably my favorite investigator (i hope its not bad to have favorites but she is so solid). she is the lady from Lybia who set a napkin on fire with her prayer lol. so we had a lesson planned about prophets but the spirit took it into a different direction so we talked about prayer, patience, and read a lot of good scriptures in the Book of Mormon. One scripture we read was one in Either i think chapter 12 or 13 where it says that God allows us to have weaknesses so that we may be humble. and if we humble ourselves and come unto christ then God will make weak things become strong unto us. that is such a cool promise isnt it? She really liked that scripture and i know that that is what we were supposed to teach her that night. she really wants to be baptized and said that this week she would come to church so im really excited for this upcoming sunday! 

Well thanks for all of your love and prayers and wonderful emails! thank you all for the wonderful examples you have been for me in my life and i hope you are all having a wonderful time back home! Dallin thanks for your email little man love you buddy! i actually was looking back into your letter that you sent me in the MTC with your drawing of me and of the family and the awesome note you wrote me! your the best little brother! And thanks Sissy for your email it made me so happy to read and i love how big of a testimony you have, it makes my heart full of joy :) Love you guys! cant wait to talk to you next week!
