Don't worry, nothing bad happened. It's just a reference to the work here right now. It's going great!
First
things first, CHRIS GOT MARRIED?!?!?!?!? That's nuts!!!!! I'm so pumped
for him!! Freak. I was not expecting that one. haha. Sean falling
asleep with his horsie to Tellitubbies, I can kinda expect that one.
haha. I love you man. If you make it back here in Dicembre, I'm probably
still going to be here in Ravenna, but who knows. I'll keep you
updated.
Business first. Thank you again for
sending that form to Sorella Harmer. I think that should be fine, but
I'll let you know if they want a hard copy. I need to start thinking
about classes soon. OH boy...fun stuff. But as for housing, I've been
talking to my buddies from BYU about that, and we are kind of organizing
something. Basically, we know we want to live together, but we don't
know where or how. haha. I just need someone to look at housing for me,
because I can't really from here. I might be able to get permission from
Pres, but I don't know. Bo...
Speaking of
driving, it's still awesome. Driving in Italy is kinda like driving in
LA, but slightly more crazy. You have to be super alert all the time. I
don't have an Italian license because they are really hard to get, but
my California one works according to the office. I know mine expires in
March, which is fine. If we can renew it through that form, that would
be great, so just let me know.
I don't have to
buy gas with my own money, so that's really nice. I always like more
money, but I'm really trying to not buy a ton of things. I have no idea
how much money I have though. However, January will be my last saldi,
so I will need money so I can buy lots of stuff for really cheap before I
go home.
I'm really glad at least Sylvia reads
my blog. haha. I hope people like it. Sometimes I feel like I just
"ramble on" (Led Zepplin shout out). Sorry, I was just on a scambio with
Anz Rutter from my MTC group. He also loves Led, so we talked a lot
about it. haha. He's a totally rock star. He played me some of his music
he's written on his guitar, and he's super talented. Some good stuff.
Before I forget, I want to give a shout out to Mom, Annie, and Jess for their birthday on Saturday. I hope it's an amazing day! You are all great!!!!
I haven't run into Anz West yet, but if I ever do, I bet I will forget how I kinda know him. haha.
MIRACLE TIME!!!!!!!
In
addition to the 26 lessons we taught this week, 12 being while on
scambio with the AP's, our miracle is actually kind of the Sorelle's
miracle. Don't worry, I'll explain. We were on our way to a lesson when a
random number called us. It was a woman who had come to our English
class last year and actually received a blessing from the Anziani a year
ago. She saw one of our fliers and decided to call us. She told us that
she would not be able to come to English class on Wednesday
nights, but still wanted to practice her English, so we gave her number
to the Sorelle right after the call, and they called her that day and
set up an appointment for that evening. At the appointment, they taught
her the Restoration and she accepted a baptismal date. It was a huge
miracle for both of us. The Sorelle have been doing some amazing work
lately and they've passed us a few investigators in the past few weeks
and we really wanted to return the favor. Our prayer was answered, and
we were able to pass back someone to the wonderful Sorelle who really
deserve it.
Another great miracle is this
family that we just re-picked up when I first got here. The wife just had
a really bad accident where the doctors said that she might not walk
ever again, but she has made a miraculous recovery and the husband is
really opening up the gospel as a result of it. This family is amazing
and they came to church this week and are coming again next week! We are
so blessed to be there to help them. We came by just at the right time
to help them get their lives back in order. I love missionary work.
Random
comments time. The other day, we went with our members to pick
chestnuts. I can honestly say that I've never even thought of doing
that, but it was so much fun!!! Chestnuts however are covered in a spiky
shell when they fall of the tree, so I got my hands stabbed a lot. But
it was really fun to wonder through the beautiful Italian hills
harvesting chestnuts. I'll send some pics. Also, Polson and I climbed to
the top of the mountain and got an amazing view from the top. I also
found an oak tree there, so I took a picture. TO pride!!!! haha
Then
the other day when I went on scambio, we went for our scambio treat to
this American restaurant called American Graffiti. Yes, just like the
movie. It was so 50's diner. Dad, you would have loved it. I got an
"Elvis Milk Shake" which had bananas, chocolate, and peanut butter.
haha. It was awesome. Just like the good old times on road trips,
stopping at all that "local color". haha.
Well,
this week, just like all the rest is going by way to fast. I can't
believe we are in week 4 already. It's crazy. Time is flying past.
I love you all and I hope you all have an amazing week!!
Hope to hear from you all soon!
Statemi bene,
Anziano Langlois
