Well let us start of with Halloween. The day was very
uneventful until the evening. We had planned a party for the ward
members that night so we were excited. The Clock struck the appointed
hour of seven thirty
and not a soul to be seen. Now, I cant say that I blame them, I
definitely wouldn't ever go to the sister missionaries Halloween party
either pre mission but after....I will be throwing it down with them.
Anyways, we are packing up to leave and 3 members from our weekly
English class show up! We gave them a quick tour of the building and
then we had a beautiful lesson with them. Manuele and Nelli and their
family are so ready for the restored gospel- They accepted baptismal
dates and now we work our behinds off to grow them!
Well then, naturally staying true to myself, after
we got home I made Sorella Killpack celebrate Halloween with flare. We
carved squash (turns out I would have had to sell my kidney to get a
pumpkin here...) and enjoyed some nice candy while listening to
Pocahontas. Well the inappropriate hour of 1030 struck and I wasn't done
celebrating. I looked at Killpack and said, "British or Indian" she
replies "huh British! Why?" me-"You have got a minute and half to put on
a costume and be back in the kitchen." We scrambled like mad men,
created epically perfect costumes and made a music video to"Savages"
from the Disney Pocahontas. I really am so grateful for companions that
don't think I am completely insane. it was a wonderful Halloween.
My goal for this transfer is the language. I have
decided I will only be fluent in I am 100% obedient and qualify for this
blessing. Well God is appreciating the effort. We walked past a man on
the street and he turned around and stopped us. After chatting for a few
minutes we were able to set a return appointment for the following week.
We were a bit hesitant to go to this appointment because he did say,
"hey, I have a friend who knows some mormons and he says that are
wealthy"....but we met him at the church and turns out HELLO HE IS
GOLDEN! Good old golden Manzio. He was asking incredible questions and
at one point says "so what do i have to do be a member?" .....ribbit
ribbit.....did I just hear you correctly!? Thank you, i did. He will be
baptized on December 7th.
We are really seeing the miracles and it is so obvious that the work is hastening.
Shout
out to Mom - Sorella Killpack and I are walking home late one night and
we passed some men. Normally, we ignore them but on this occasion we
thought we recognized a member of the ward who was drunk. we were like
"Ya, heeeeck no." so we stared him down. Turns out, not him. But instead
he looks me dead in the eyes and says, "give your mother my compliments
you beautiful thanggg." So Mom, a drunk Italian man sends you his
compliments....
Other than that, All is well in Zion and we are
halfway through the transfer. I love you all, and so blessed to have the
BEST family in THE WORLD!!!!
Vi amo tutti!
Sorella Alley
