Well it's my second week here in Busto Arsizio. Things have been quite busy. Last P-day was kind of a bust, (P Day is a missionary's day off) We had to spend our whole day fixing my iPad and such, lots of just silly work, but that's okay because today, we are going to Como! (I'm so excited. Look at that smile!)
Now to get to my week, on Friday it was April Fool's day! I kept on hinting to Sorella Roper that she should be expecting a prank, haha. Don't worry I have left my pranking and trickster days behind as a missionary. We had a lunch appointment on Friday, and it was super interesting. We had chicken and rice. We then used our day to try to find people to teach because our other appointments fell through. Saturday was one of those days that was super annoying but super necessary. Because our investigator C. Is getting baptized, she needed an interview this Saturday. Well apparently all of Busto and all of Varese have no baptismal certificates. So Saturday morning we had to go the Milan area to get one. Then we met the District leader and at the church and surprise! the gate was locked! The gate is never ever locked. Unsure of what to do, and we were running out of time - they just decided to hop the fence. It was quite the adventure. Then it was back to the same Milan area to watch general conference (this is church meetings over the television). So we felt like a majority of our day was spent going back and forth. Sunday we had an appointment with C. It is so much fun talking to her about her upcoming baptism. General conference was also wonderful to watch. We watched it in live time so we watched the morning sessions at 6 pm. We haven't had a chance to watch all of the afternoon sessions yet, but we did enjoy the morning ones a lot.
Unfortunately on Monday we had no appointments, and the sky was a horrible grey with rain. While we were walking and trying to find people to teach - no one was friendly. It was definitely a long day.(As a mom - this made me sad but learning perseverance is a good thing, right?) Tuesday was a new adventure. We had a meeting, then a lesson, and then at what was quite a surprise to me a prep for English class. We teach English class here, it sounds like it will be quite a learning experience. Well now I am here sitting in Como, it is so beautiful. Italy is beautiful, the people are wonderful, and I am so happy to be a missionary. Until next week!
(sounds like someone needed a day off!)
