Ciao tutti!
Well I can hardly believe it, I have been here for 4 weeks! That is just crazy to me. I am just so happy here in Italy. We have had a pretty adventurous couple of days though. (In fact right now we are on our way to Switzerland! I am so excited) We started off by ( and by starting off I mean Wednesday / Thursday) having our P-day where we went to a used market place and did some shoe shopping. It was a good day. Thursday we went to my favorite town in our area - Gallarate - where we had some lessons lined up. That night we had an English tutoring and mini lessons with Ci, who is 13. She is super funny we always enjoy helping her out.
Italian English books are seriously so funny. First of all the English isn't always correct and they have these really funny highlight and spotlight sections in the text books. The two that I thought were the funniest: one was literally a whole article with quizzes all about James Bond, the other was regarding the dangerous youth of the U.K., it was seriously so funny.
Friday was a good day as well. We made homemade lasagna and it was so amazing. Then on Saturday, (Oh Saturday!) Sorella Roper and I had the lovely pleasure of being fed a meal and then enjoyed a whole 24 hours of food poisoning. What joys...... There is nothing like making it through church with your stomach turning and rumbling. It was seriously awful. It definitely threw us off our norm. Monday we were starting to feel much better. We had a district meeting in Varese. Because it is our last District meeting before we find out about transfers we did the "Kinder Egg Predictions". This is where everyone gets a Kinder Egg and you open the toy inside. Then the rest of the district uses the toy and a random scripture you find to determine your fate in the transfer. It's pretty funny.
Our Monday lessons canceled, and they have for like the whole time I have been here, and then it started to pour down rain. It was quite the day.Tuesday was Sorella Roper's Birthday! She is now 21! It was so much fun to be with her. And celebrate. The day started with us being ding dong ditched and opening the door and finding 21 balloons with a fruit basket. With a giant sign reading "Happe Birthday Sister Forever!" And then a picture of Sorella Roper printed off. It was very sweet. We knew who it was from but we literally couldn't see them anywhere on the street; we had no idea where they were. But don't worry the mystery was solved later when we went to F's (a member) house for lunch. While we were there we were shown a video they had taken of use bringing the fruit basket inside. Turns out they were hiding behind the cars parked on the street. After we ate lunch, my personal favorite part of the day came. It was her birthday cake time. Her birthday cake was this beautiful homemade cake with a giant close up picture of her face on it. It was amazing. (photos to follow) They really do love Sorella Roper here.. I think my favorite part was when she lit the 21 candles, Sorella Roper's face started to get a little saggy. It was literally so amazing. I love the members her in Busto, they are the sweetest. They really do care about the missionaries here, it is great.
Well yep that pretty much sums up my week. Sorella Roper and I made the mistake of looking at a calendar and we realized we literally only have 6 weeks left together (and yes she only has 6 weeks left in Italy). But we will just cross that scary bridge when we get there. People here in Italy have no idea how to pronounce Teague, it's so funny, I love it. Every day I have a new new name. I love it here in Italy I love being a missionary. Here is to next week!
Sorella Teague
