Ansiano Hale's Mission

well i am physically exhausted so sorry if i sound weird ha. we did service this morning and then ran around this morning. so first of this week we taught jerry a new investigator for when i arrived. we watched the restoration in french. it was cool. hopefully he comes to church on sunday. he is not much of a talker but he did tell us that before we watched the restoration he was a little confused. we were going to teach him the second lesson but thanks to companianship study and prayer we decided not too. the spirit is truly in this work. cant remember if i talked about roberto who was a new investigator last week but he has a family and is italian and awesome. but unfortunately he goes to new york until september. then we taught slash had dinner with this couple below us. they are hilarious. it is so cool now that i can understand 65-87percent of what is said. it makes it so much more enjoyable. and it gives me enough so that i can respond. some people are still really hard to understand but i am definately improving. then we taught jonathan who is 26 and waiting his mission call. his family and friends are not members and not the best influence on him but he is so strong. he likes meeting with us to help himself have strength. i love him. he is one of the most humble and fun people i have ever met. i went on a short exchange with him and we did this survey in this park. the second person we talked to was elect. he is so kind and friendly and speaks the language so much better(he is from philipines but has been here for 15 years or something) and we taught her first gave her a book of mormon and got her information. she is a mother of 2 and the night before had been talking with a friend about the purpose of life. she lives in milan so we will be sending her information their. Ok this week me and my companian were blessed to have another elder with us. anziano cooper was with us this week. he has only been in italy for 1 month and a half but his companian was sick in bed so he came with us for a week. he was surving in batipaglia which is by naples. but he would talk with literally everyone. i learned so much from him and i have never talked to so many people in one week in my life. it was awesome. i learned alot from him.anziano herrick is amazing. i am so blessed to have him as my companian he is a twin and from utah and we are quite common. i love him. we are seeing so many blessings. then we also had zone conference this week which was such a spiritual booster. anziano and his companian gave one of the trainings and it was great. they talked about having the faith to find people. and lastly on wednesday i did a giro (tour) of rome. it was so awesome. so i will tell you the things we saw. first went to spanish steps, then pantheon, then piazza barberina, piazza navona, and the vatican and we saw castel di st angelo, and st giovanni ( huge church), sacred steps (for the catholics the holy of holies) and this church with human bones everyone, and trevi fountain and because there is the world wide watersports championships here we met these professional korean waterpolo players who spoke a little english. it was cool. we also did zone singing with like 35 missionaries at piazza del popolo this week. so we saw alot and alot of things. it was amazing. i took alot and alot of pictures. to the point that there is no room on my camera. but i will send them home on cds. well hope everyone is doing good. i will keep you all in my prayers and i thank you all for yours. i feel them every day. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the only true church on the earth. i know it. vi voglio bene.
