It is kind of funny how we spend 6 years in the MTC, and only 2 years in Italy... At least that's what it feels like. If I didn't have an ounce of logic, and you asked me how long ago I had sent an email, I'd say it's been at least a couple months since my last email. Nope, that's not true.
Italian is an awesome language, when you can speak it. I've memorized and (internalized) The missionary purpose, The first vision, 1 Nefi 3:7, Moroni 10:7, Baptisimal Questions, and several lessons all in Italian now. My English is terrible, and I'm at language equilibrium where our district is supposed to only speak Italian, but I don't know any words, and so I try to use English, but I can't remember any English words either. Just typing this last paragraph took 10 minutes or so because, you know, Inglese.
Anyway, Wednesdays I am privileged to visit the temple in the afternoon, so I will be heading there at two pm, just like last week. The Provo temple is Awesome, and I'm pumped that I can go every week.

Sunday Devotional was great, and we were treated with a conversion story by a Korean lady (who just moved from Korea 10 days ago, but the missionaries in the MTC thought they were teaching a member in Korea via Skype, turned out she wasn't a member, and decided to move to Utah for better schooling, and to join the church. She had a translator and all. :) Pretty awesome.
Tuesday devotional was by a member of the Seventy, Elder Clarke, and he gave some gnarly thoughts about missionary work, love, and etc. His talk definitely grows my testimony. I wish I could say more, but my Email time is 3/4 over.
My district has become closer, but also busier. We now have 3 teachers, and 1 'investigator', and TRC on Thursday. (starting tomorrow) I don't know what TRC stands for, because it probably is English, which doesn't help anything, but generally it's like giving a Home Teacher lesson to a member of the Church. So, an Italian RM, or Bishop or, some other member volunteers and we teach them in Italian.
I don't have pictures this week, I just wish you all health. Salute!
This gospel is amazing! Ciao, fine a che prossima volta!
