Thursday last week was pretty normal, except we started wrapping Book of Mormon's and pass along cards like presents, Friday we woke up and went to the church to practice "The First Noel" (later on I will explain why) and then finished wrapping Book of Mormon's and pass along cards had an appointment with Cletus about tithing it went very well! Friday night we went to Piazza Libertà and Caroled and gave the Book of Mormon's and pass along cards as presents!!! Italians didn't understand we didn't want money and that the presents were free. but we still ended up giving out all put one Italian book! We also got this potential investigator his name is Jacopo he seems really interested but he's only in town till tonight cause he's going home for the Holidays till the end of January which kind of blows but we will teach him for sure!! Saturday was my 20th birthday! It was mostly just like any other day in the mission lol, we went as a district and got pizza at this place called "Planet Pizza" (I know almost like Pizza Planet from Toy Story) It's the best pizzeria in Alessandria so we actually go there a lot, I ate 2 whole pizza's.... I'll send a picture and you'll see I'm already done with one pizza while everyone is only half way done with theirs lol (they were good pizza's) when then missed our train to go to an appointment in Valenza, we called Vincent our investigator and he said he couldn't meet with us anymore anyway so I guess that was kind of good (not really but kind of lol) That evening we had the ward "Concert" (not Christmas party) basically we were asked to sing "The First Noel" in English for this concert it was really good!! At the end of it all, everyone gets up and Pietro (the member who is about to leave on his mission) starts playing the Happy Birthday song on the piano and everyone starts singing "Happy Birthday" to me but in Italian I was going to get a video but by the time I started taking it they were finished (it was better than the ones my family does that's for sure ;) lol) Sunday was good nothing really different expect we had correlation for the 2nd time ever since I've been in the mission, mostly because they just called a new ward mission leader. His name is Martin (he's a return missionary, he came home from his mission the same day I came into the mission) Monday's are the worst days to be missionaries in Italy cause no Italy wants to do anything expect sit at home and do nothing. We still worked though!! we had 2 lessons one with Vincent and one with Cletus. The one with Vincent was on Repentance, and the one with Cletus was on every greenies worst nightmare to teach, The Law of Chastity. It was a really good lesson and it wasn't bad at all!! Yesterday we had district meeting and we went to La Dolce Vita, it's a pizzeria that's owned by a member and we always get free food so it's nice to go there! :) Then we also had English class which was good. Finally today, we aren't doing much because Anziano Younce is going home next Thursday so he is packing today and I also have to go to the Questura for my fingerprint appointment so I can legally live here in Italy XD Anziano Younce also wants to go shopping but I don't know if we will get to it cause we have a lot of stuff going on we will see though. Love you all! I wish you all a Merry Christmas this next week, I hope you all remember why we celebrate and it's because of our Savior Jesus Christ! Ciao Ciao!
