Baptism of Irene

We had another wonderful time this past week and to cap it all off we had the baptism of Irene. She's the daughter of Rita and is the last one from the family we had to get baptized. Her real name is omotola but Italians can't pronounce it so they call her Irene. It was really cool and adjea who has been helping us with the kids recently was able to baptize her. Adjea is the coolest kid ever and he loves helping us out with lessons.

This past week we also had two scambios, I got to go to bagheria with anziano gizzel and spend time with anziano moraes  in Palermo. We had a good time for both scambios even though anziano moraes and I only went to meetings ha but that's how it goes sometimes. We had really good lessons with our investigators and we found out Carmelo lives in the p1 area so it'll be sad to pass him off but it'll be easier for him to go to church in p1.

Last p-day we went on this huge hike up a hill to some dudes house. Ha he says he wanted to build a temple on earth and so he decorated his house with tons of rocks and about 5 billion statues of sheep. The view was really pretty from up there though. I really enjoy spending time with all the other elders that are serving around Palermo. It really shows how working together to serve others can really help you learn how to grow together.

Vi voglio bene!
