When they tell us not to, we do anyway

(Galileo stood up there!)
I'm getting to know the other elders very well, we are all from Utah except Anziano Driver, but we all get along very nicely. Anziano Moser is a cowboy type from Herriman Utah, Anziano Driver is from a tiny place in Washington state, a very beautiful area. He spent a lot of time in the Colombia River Gorge, or some name like that. Everyone is funny and witty with intellect.
I'm excited for Friday, I'll have an exchange in Bologna! The zone leaders will be doing the 'scambio' and we'll see what I do and where I go in Bologna, but I am very excited. I will tell you all next time.
For now, I must go and eat lunch. Email if you wish for the Carbonara pasta recipe, I will not disappoint.
Love you all!

The title of this email is referring to yesterday. We talked a man
named Cristiano, Who is a nonmember but lives with an active family.
Right before we came and taught him at the church, his wife called and
told us to be careful with him. Apparently he didn't like somethings
about the church, but he has been coming to church for three weeks.
She advised: "just be nice, don't start with Jesus."
We promptly asked him how he was and then what he thought about the
church. He liked it so we had asked him about Jesus. Yes, that was a
complete disregard to her advice.
Interestingly enough, he took it very well and we showed him the
Easter video from the church, and we're going to meet with him next
week. He is very opened the book of Mormon and our religion, very
ready, but we will need to do some work.
Other than that the week has been pretty slow, just doing small things
missionary do. Talk to people and try to hand out things when they
reject us. We teach English class, which I teach the basic class by
myself, and that is always fun.
I am loving Padova, and all the sights. We have Galileo's tower here,
castle walls, mansions, villas, and to top it off, pasta. I like pasta
very much, if you want a killer recipe, email me!
