And it's August

We had another good week filled with blessings! We met with Andrea this week and he brought his friend whose also named valerio and he's a homie! Andrea introduced him to Buddhism and h converted about a year ago and now Andrea introduced valerio to the missionaries so we hope he gets the same result as last time. The branch president and his family also happened to be at church then so we were able to introduce them to the diodato's as well.

Our ward missionary activity got rained out this week. We have really hot days here and then days when it just pours rain and freezes you to the bone. But anyway, we had the ward members that came do some minute to win it games at the church and the Italians loved it ha. I guess all those pep rallies in high school are finally paying off. And then basketball has been going well ha there's a court right by our house and if our appointments fall through we go talk with the people who are sitting watching people play or if there's only a couple people we shoot around with them and talk about the gospel.

We also had scambio this past week and I got to chill with Anziano Hansen in pescara. We had a little miracle that morning as we did personal study, Anziano Hansen said that he felt we needed to go outside and do something and we ended up getting called by the sisters who needed a blessing for one of the sisters that has been having health issues and was leaving that morning for Rome. So that was nice to have been guided by the spirt. The work is growing step by step and Anziano Burgos and I are looking forward to this up coming week.

Vi voglio bene!
