- our apartment is very American Style, and large. Via Tibullo 6, 20151 Milano

Friday we did lots of planning, and lots of study. New missionaries get an extra hour of companion study, so I will have extra study for 12 weeks. (Mission fact: We stay up 30 minutes later and wake up 30 minutes later because of Italy's schedule)
I ate real pizza (mmm) and then went to an Inactive member's house (The Cubas) amd taught Sis. Cuba and her son about putting Christ in their lives. They came to church Sunday so, maybe YAY! They live in Sedriano. Next we went finding at Parco Villa Scheilber and only talked to one guy who wasn't way interested. Then we headed home. One thing I have already learned is that public transport takes forever and wastes a lot of time if you don't contact.
Saturday we went to Bande Nere and found a couple more guys that are more interested. We don't actually have any investigators right now that meet with us, so its really hard, but I know that if we work hard we will be blessed, and blessing the lives of others. After lunch, we headed to Via Copernico in Pero, Via Console Marcello, Via Gabbro, and Via Cerkov to visit inactive new members. None of them could be found, and even one of the addresses was non existant. Then we found Yakov, he asked us to sit next to him on the Red Line Metro, and now he might be a new investigator (as of today hasn't answered his phone though).
Sunday: My first in Italy, and it was hard to understand, but I don't give a talk until next week so I'm good there. A guy in sacrament meeting fainted during his talk though, so very exciting, and sad. We also gave a blessing to a sick lady, and then ate Lunch with the Lauriola family in Pogliano and Dinner with the Falva family. Giving both families a lesson was a treat, and it was the first time I have felt comfortable speaking Italian. In between meals we went finding, and found another 2 potentials. One was a kid from Africa who spoke a bit of English, it was great bearing my testimony in full without language worries, and I know we really touched his life. We prayed with him, sadly, but we hope for the best, he moves to London really soon, but he said he ould find the missionaries in London. Yay.
Monday we began paper for my Permesso, or my permission to stay in Italy and live here, and the we did finding, and tried to find more inactives at Via Della Martinella and Via Albino. Niether we there again, but later we found an Egyptian kid who ACTUALLY is meeting with us tommorrow! We have an investigator! He needs an Arabic Book of Mormon but speaks Italian well enough to give him lessons. I'm so excited. (Italian Tip: You can Buy 2 liters of carbonated fruit juice for under 1 Euro, and its way better than any drink in the USA)
Tuesday: We taught the Espiritu family (there are two Espiritu families this is Espiritu 1) in their home near Tirana Piazza and also talked to some weird people, but anyways, the Espiritu lesson was awesome. We taught this Fillipino family about the Restoration, because their son Joshua who is 9, and baptized and confirmed, is inactive, so we both bore good testimonies, and Joshua promised to read the Book of Mormon. Wonderful! Tuesday night they also have Serata Familiare with the ward, it's like Young mens are womens, but the whole group of young adults receive a lesson and then play games.
Today, is PDay, and we will be seeing the city a bit, and shopping.
Pray for Yakov, Osama, and all of Italy! I love this gospel, and everyone here! Ciao!
