This is lit.

Oi! This week can only be described in one word... LIT. So last p day we had a good time in Milano with some of the

Anziani in our zone... Maybe too many Anziani haha Anziani are kinda weird but it was fun. We ate some food, did

some shopping, and saw the Duomo (for the billionth time). And then some old man gave us some papers written in

strange English so that it's not even comprehensibile. I'll attach a picture. You definitely meet some strange people on

your mission.

On Friday, service was really funny because I had to help Francesco write down notes for the art history lab. He is 55

years old and has down syndrome. He also believes that he is Jesus Christ. He hated writing notes and so he kept

complaining about how he was sweating so much from having to write so much and that it was Christ's blood that he

was sweating and he was atoning for everyone's sins. He also thought that I was the Madonna, which is virgin Mary.

It was super funny and I was dying laughing the whole time. He was really dramatic about writing though and he is

super excited to go on vacation.

Then on Saturday, Honey called us and said she had a free afternoon! We met up witth her in a bar (Italian bars are

not like American bars! Don't worry!) and taught her the Plan of Salvation. She loved it, and accepted our baptismal

invitation... just not our date of December 1st. She doesn't wanna commit to a date with her crazy work schedule. So

we will see what happens in the near future. She is so solid though. It's crazy to think that she met Sorelle on the

street 2 years ago! (Not many people here get baptized through street contacting) So she's super cool.

We also saw the Pegorettis on Saturday and then again yesterday! On Saturday we read 1 Nefi 1 with them and just

kinda talked about prayer and the Church and stuff. We challenged them to read and pray together as a family. Well,

they hadn't done it yet when we saw them yesterday. They are having a lot of problems with this big life change of

moving to Italy. But we shared with them the Plan of Salvation, and they said that they feel so much peace when we

share our message with them. After explaining to them that these feelings are the Spirit testifying to them that it is

true, we invited them to be baptized, and they said yes! Unfortunately, they don't wanna commit to the date that we

chose until after they come to church at least once. And this Sunday is stake conference in Milano, so we will have

to wait a little while until setting a date with them, but we feel so good about them. And Cesar said his first prayer

with us and we all kneeled together; it was just like a little child praying. I love an investigator's first prayer. They

love us and Mariana even posted about us on Facebook so they are just golden and I love them so much.

BRAZILIANS.

Those were the highlights from the week. Of course, every week, every day, amazing little moments, miracles, and

funny things happen, but to write them all would take years so I'll save myself and you guys the pain of that. Oh

also, I don't know if you all remember about me talking about someone I was teaching named Karem in my last city,

but just a couple weeks ago she was baptized! I wanted to include that the last few p days but forgot so I'm doing it

now. It was sad not to be there but Karem is so dope and I'm so happy for her. I know that the Plan of Salvation is

true! It is so very simple and yet so profound that it strikes to the core of all who have a sincere desire to know the

truth. I love this Gospel and this mission so much! It's a fine fine life. Vi voglio bene.
