week in review

This is a picture I got from Dustin's mission president this week along with a letter telling us he is doing well. This Picture is Dustin with his companion Anziano Blaga and Brother and Sister Wolfgramm.

This is Dustin's week in Review as he called it:

Hello everyone!
 
Nic says hi, and he loves you.
I hope that you are all doing well.
Here is a report on the week.
 
Wednesday

 It rained nearly all day and I got a lot done with some studies and letters and stuff such as that. Also in English class we have 2 guys who are slightly interested and we taught them a part of the plan of salvation and we will teach the final part tonight. And we might go get pizza with them after (they like us and offered to buy).
 
Thursday

We were in Milano all day! I love going to Milano, Milano Centrale (The train station) is so amazing. It’s huge and all stone and really cool. We went and had a great zone conference. I saw Anziano Treadyway, he has lost 25 pounds. He is in a hilly area and they walk a lot. Ha-ha I’m praying that my last area is in Siena because I hear that it is really hilly and there is only 1 member IN Siena itself so you don’t eat at member’s hardly ever! That way I can come home skinny ha-ha. So...praying for that. We had a good training .

Friday
 
We ran into a man in the park that is a gypsy, he has been traveling with his backpack and another bag from country to country to town to town for 4 years and something. He is about to return home to
somewhere in Europe that I can’t remember, but he spoke English. He was very much a Hippie type....He has some strange ideas about God and religion. It was very different to talk to someone about Doctrines of men and Doctrines of Christ instead of Corrupt Doctrines of Christ and the Restored Truth....I’m used to Catholics....not existentialist’s. Ha-ha but it was good. He actually HAD a Book of Mormon that some missionaries in France gave him. So we encouraged him again to read it and taught him a few things.
 
Saturday
 
We also met a man from Ecuador and he has become a progressing investigator...yes you heard right! We have an actual investigator. Well, that is we met with him once, he came to church and then we
have another appointment with him tonight. So we will try and set a Baptismal Date with him and the experiences we have had with him have been SOOO strong with the spirit. Church was fantastic all the members were really friendly with him and he really liked it and the lesson was amazing. You could have cut the spirit with a knife.
 
Sunday was a slower day full of member lessons and visiting some less actives.
 
Monday was a long day because it was the day before the transfer ended so it was cleaning day. We cleaned for 3 hours and the whole day is ours to get organized and clean and organize the house. We were outside the apartment for 1 hour that day. But I did make some FANTASTIC PASTA. I will take this time to brag and say that I made on this Monday the 3rd best pasta I have eaten since coming to Italy. So that was a good day. I got to study a lot after we cleaned and we watched Legacy. (Church Movie)
 
Tuesday
We did 8 hours of finding work....8 hours of finding work....we had lunch with a member and a 8 o clock lesson with some snacks...we knocked SOOO many doors...yeah ha-ha but it was good. We have an appointment with a lady Friday... and some other possibles...we will see.
 
Well that was pretty much my week.
 
Things are going well and I am growing a lot. I really can’t wait to finish this Journal and send it home with my planners. Then you all can read through them and see better how each day went.
 
Here I am folks! I finished my first transfer in the mission! And it was a 7 week one at that! Normally they are 6! So one more with Anziano Blaga and then I graduate from Greenie to Junior Companion!
Love you all so much! I hope that everyone is doing well, I got 3 letters yesterday and they were fantastic. Good to hear from you all. I will try and get some more handwritten letters home! Love you all
and I want you to know that I’m doing very good. I’m growing a lot.

Love you all
 
.Ci Sentiamo
