Immortal

To start off I would just like to thank everyone for all the prayers that have been given in our behalf. There was an earthquake that hit a small town called amatrice which is about 40 miles north of L'Aquila.

It's actually in our ward boundaries but we have never been there. The quake did not disrupt us here in L'Aquila very much at all. We only felt the first 2 and they did not destroy the city in the slightest thankfully. Anziano gunnell and I were never worried for our safety and thankfully we didn't have to be.

This week was also filled with lots of other experiences to help us and especially me remember we are not immortal. I got s nice black eye this week playing basketball and then we actually got to go on a trip to Rome last Friday to have my feet looked at and I was diagnosed with two ingrown toenails. At least they both happened at the same time right? We had surgery this morning and everything went really smoothly so you don't have to worry mom. It sounds like I must have cut them wrong and then all the walking did me in.

Missionary work wise everything is fantastic ha! At least we're staying immortal in that realm. We had a wonderful lesson with a man named John that Anziano gunnell actually contacted which was pretty cool. We also had a nice ward party on Saturday were we got to play some ultimate frisbee. We are going to dive into our area book this week (I'm not supposed to walk the next 3 days): and also see if we can't bring back some of those former investigators. Andrea actually volunteered to tutor Anziano gunnell with some Italian and we hope to tutor him more about the atonement this week.

Thank you all again for all the concern and prayers!

Vi voglio bene

This is a famous place called the keyhole in Rome.  You look through on Italian soil into a Maltese garden that has the Vatican in the background.
