Another Email

Now that I'm done volleyballing and 'footballing', and I'm covered in mud, I decided I should probably write an Email. Sorry I've been so bad a writing, sometimes it feels more like I'm rewriting journal entries instead of actually talkin to anyone. I just need to realize that these emails are going to people, and that some people read them, so they should be fun or something.
This last week was our last week with Sorella Hogan, her release date is the end of this week. It's been a great time, and she's one of the best missionaries.
Our district held a funeral for her:

​Top: (me, Anz. Stanley, Anz. Taylor, Anz. Castronovo, Anz.Harris, Anz. Kenny)
Middle: (Sorella D'Aleo, Sorella Taylor, Sorella Castro)
Front Center: Sorella Hogan

It was the best funeral ever. We even carried her out in a 'coffin', I don't know why, but we did.

​All was well.
This week for the work was slower, but on Saturday the other Anziani's investigator Jerry got baptized!! He's so cool, and is helping me to learn Twi, which may not be the most useful language but.. whatever.
Richard, our Ghanian Twi speaker came to the baptism, and decided he wanted this covenant himself, so we set a day for April 9th. He's excited and told us he already knows the the Book of Mormon (in Twi: Mormon Nwoma No) is true and he loves our message.
Alessandro and Manuela are really close to the due date of their baby, so they disappeared and we can't reach them.
Malu, or Brazilian investigator and boyfriend Paolo still love us, they interrupt our lessons with worldy comments and questions like "Did you play lots of videogames before the mission?"
I have to tell them that we were talking about Joseph Smith, not videogames and they aren't that closely related. It's really hard, and I'm learning that my Italian still really needs improvement, no matter how many compliments I recieve. Anyway, Harris was given a free Playstation Control custom made with AC Milan style and logo print... it's probably worth up to 70 dollars or so, and he got it for free and can't even use it.
We love it here in Italy, in Firenze, and we are happy. The cold rain makes it hard on us, and our shoes and socks, but it's awesome still!
So che questa missione è la cosa più preparato per me, imparo tanto e mi sto svilupando ogni giorno. Questo vangelo è perfetto, questa chiesa è il regno di Dio sulla terra. Nel nome di Gesù Cristo, amen
Until later!
Ciao
