New Beginnings

We had quiet the eventful week! We had deep cleaning day last Monday so our house looks a lot cleaner now. We also got transfer calls that night and they shipped Anziano Burgos off to Rome and sent Anziano Gunnell in his place. Anziano Gunnell comes from Orem Utah and is straight out of the mtc so we should have some exciting learning experiences together! He's a really nice kid and willing to work hard.

We started teaching this really cool family this past week from English course. The parents are stefano and tomola (I think) and then there daughter Nicole and they are incredible. They even brought us treats one day! We are super ecstatic and hope they continue to progress. Our boy chino also made it to church again and he brought a friend! He called that morning saying he hurt his leg and wasn't going to be able to come but then he changed his mind and came anyway. It's wonderful to see how he already treasures the sabbath day.

The members here are amazing as well. Before Anziano Burgos left we went to say goodbye to a member at her work and then started to wait at the bus stop. We waited for 30 minutes and then the member came back out and offered to have us over for dinner so we went with her.

She made probably the best ragu (spaghetti sauce) I've had in my life.

Sister Nancy is a saint :) and her daughters family has been visiting from England and will maybe decide to stay here in L'Aquila again but we will see.

Vi voglio bene
