Christmas in Italy

This past week was really incredible! We obviously celebrated christmas and were able to meet and teach a lot of people last week. We're also super excited for Marco's baptism this friday and he is so ready. He came up and talked to me in church about how he really feels God in this church and how much he loves it. He is going to be a stud member for sure. We also started teaching a referral this week named Rosario and he is really cool. He's looking for guidance in life and seems really interested. We're really excited for him.
Giuseppe came to church again and he came to all 3 hours this time. He really likes our bishop and is coming to the ward christmas party on tuesday. We also made over 150 cookies for our english course party last week and it was crazy ha. Everyone loved them and kept asking us how to make them. For christmas we were told to not be out tracking unless we got invited to a party for the christmas eve, christmas, and the day after (it's a holiday in Italy) so we were at home a lot this week and we decided to make a christmas tree out of boxes and glow sticks. Not too shabby for a couple of teenagers.
On christmas we got to go eat with some members who had invited some less actives over for the holidays and it was a blast. We also got to Skype our families on christmas and it was pretty great. I realized how long I hadn't seen them when I heard one of my younger brothers start talking in a voice deeper than mine. (jamey) It was cool, and we also had a party at our friend Salvo's house and watched Inside Out with the Anziani from Gela. Anziano Rusch and I are super excited to get back into the swing of things this week. It was nice to have a break but we want to go get back at the work. 
The mission is great and I'm praying for you all!
Vi Voglio Bene!
