only have a few left.
Merry Christmas everyone, and Happy New Year. I will recount the
holidays, and that should be all.
Christmas Eve, we went over at 11am to the Senior Couple's home.
Sister Rust had prepared lunch for us, and it was a delicious lunch if
I may say. We then played cards with them, and their daughter who was
visiting. We rode our bikes home, and then had to catch a bus an hour
later to Aviano. We met Renato at a Pizzeria for dinner, shared our
Christmastime testimonies, and Anz. Douglas gave him a copy of Jesus,
the Christ. Since Renato is an English-speaking Italian, the copy was
in our native tongue, and should help him practice !
Christmas was nice, a beautiful Sunday. We made it to both Ward
services; the Italians read scriptures, The Americans had a musical
program. Then we took ourselves out to The Moschetta family's home.
She is an English student, who's always loved the missionaries, but
never has been interested in being a member. She made us Hungarian
dishes (where she's from originally), and also Italian dishes. They
were all so good! And the best, Ravioli with Gorgonzola and Walnut
inside....oh so delectable. We stayed and talked after dessert (a
Hungarian poppyseed roll) and they showed us almost every photo from
their vacation to Argentina...but hey, It was really fun. It was nice
to meet her son and husband, and to bring a joyful spirit into their
home. (It's a rare wood home...while most in Italy are cement) oooh
Of course, that night after we made it home, we were able to bike to
the church and Skype our families. They're doing great, and in my
opinion it was the best video-call session I've had in the
mission...the last one!
Cool, that's all for now. Love you!
Don't forget to make someone's day.
