how is everything, so i talked to a misionary in another city and he said that there is a member who is a dentist, he works on the military base, so im going to call him and see if he could help me with anythign, and try and get a better price.
but this week was good!!! i went to milano and was able to see a lot of my friends, and i was able to see the duomo!!! its so cool!! they had so many dead bodies in it. its kind of crazy!! they are bodies of dead saints and popes.....so there was a dead body of someone from 1300!! what the cabbage?? i got a picture so ill send it to you!!! the weekend was normal, we did service and helped paint a members house, which was easy, all six of us painted the house in 3 hours, italian houses are not that big haha.
so i got sick, the weather changed and i got the flu a little, i had a head ache, chills, and sore throat, but im all good now. also it snowed for the first time!!! but the next day it was sunny and warm so it melted....managia! maybe next year i could have a white birthday, speriamo!! haha. we have a new missionary in the apartment with us, his name is anz. briand, hes a lot like me, he was baptized in the church june, of 2012, and now hes serving a missions. we're the same age now too haha. hes cool, but hes from canada......scherzo haha.
so lets talk about what is really important this weeks, yes my birthday was this week, and now im 20yrs!!!! its weird to think thats how old i am haha. but i dont feel different, im so focused on everything here it hasnt phased me. but i had a really cool birthday!!! we had a little FHE for me where we went to a members house and they had pizza, games, and they made me a cool cake!!! and they really loved making everything into a bear for me. the cookies, and they got stuffed bear, and put my missionary tag on it haha. and everyone calls me anziano orsino here, which means little bear haha. its funny, because here everyone knows my name, but in america, its just a normal last name, so its cool to get nicknames and stuff haha.
the weather here is getting cold, today was pretty warm, but as the sun went down it got chilly. the language is improving a lot!! i still get frustrated at times, but i can understand a lot of what people say, and my speaking is improving. so i know that by my next birthday i will be pretty much fluent, let hope.....haha, but all i can do is improve now haha. i love being a missionary and seeing the change in the livs of people. serving a mission is probly one of the least selfish things you can do. and if anyone has the opportunity to serve a mission should. i know this church is true, im excited for the holiday season to celebrate gesu' cristo, and give him thanks for eevrything that he has done for me. i know that we have the fullest of the lords gospel and invite everyone to take the time to listen to our message, and if they have the desire to come closer to christ, read the book of mormon, and pray about it. because through pray we can know all things!!! amen.
grazie tutti for the birthday wishes!!! vi voglio bene!! ciao
