It's L'Aquila

We had a really busy, fun filled, exhilarating week! One of the highlights definitely had to be our meal appointment with stefano and his family, they just kept feeding Anziano gunnell haha. I felt so bad for him and I guess I just haven't taught him how to say no in Italian. He gained over 2 pounds after that one meal appointment....and we did scambio this week and I got to be with Anziano Martin again! It was really cool to be able to do a scambio with him before he leaves for America in a month or so.
We had a nice stake activity at la sorgente die fiumi in popoli. It was to introduce a genealogy program and we got our boy Andrea to come and now he's actually really interested in doing his genealogy. So it looks like will be brushing up our family history skills. Matthew is a stud muffin! He's already read over 40% of the Book of Mormon and watched multiple general conference talks. We hope he just really listens to the spirit because that's what's really going to convert him.
The members in L'Aquila are pretty incredible. There's a family from Ecuador named the custodes that loves inviting over the missionaries and they are just the nicest people ever. Our branch president is also a homie, his family comes to corso every week and helps with the gospel lessons we teach after. They have a son named Marco whose mentally handicapped but he's the nicest kid ever and loves talking with the missionaries. It looks like my toes are going to be fine as well, I mean they still look bad but they don't hurt at all.
Vi voglio bene
