Mercoledi (We think that means Wednesday)

""Posso usare il suo bagno?"- Sorella Alley
"Certo!" -cafe owner
"This is your bathroom....I'll hold it." -Sorella Alley "
It's mercoledi, mercoledi, gonna send emails on mercoledi. Wensdays are the bombdiggity but mercoledi sounds so much more exotic than Wednesdays. Look at that, I can't even spell it anymore.
 
Ciaooooooo, let's begin with a message to Pierre. Dad, there is an area in the mission that is actually in Switzerland. So, only those with an European citizenship can serve there. So basically like 0 sorella. however, we learned this week that if a parent was born in Europe then the child just has to apply for citizenship! Hello, my name is Christine Marie Alley - that is like 66.6 % (crud, i hope that is right....you know me and fractions) so can you look into that for me Pierre Andrè. I am pretty sure I hear Switzerland calling my name! Thanks pops.

This last thursday, as in like 6 days ago, Anziano Tixiera came and did a zone training. He is the Area President and is native Portugulian. So re-read his name and then say it correctly. In the whacked out world of portugese (yes Bubbus, i said whacked) the x makes some shhhhh sound. WHAT THE NO! Anyways, it was incredibly and compared the parable of the talents to missionary work. He used me as an example and gave me 5 talents. Well according to Matthew 25, I did some serious good work and returned 10 talents. He compared it to us giving our missions absolutely everything we have got in us and taking chances. I left spiritual renewed and wanting to take a sledgehammer to Captian Lucifer. Ain't no body....welll actually in this case, he ain't got no body....that can take this Sister Alley down! BOOM! haha guys did you get the pun. Relief. I am still funny. So to make things even more spiritual President Dibb ask us if we are full tithe payers. I am like, "ya dude, I haven't had an income for 9 months, it is a little late to be asking me that." but then he helped us do the math. For elders, who serve 2 years at the average age of 20, the mission compares to 10% of their life. It is similar for sister missionaries....So with this is mind,am i a full tithe payer?! Again, I came away wanting to THROW myself into the work! So it was a wonderfully lovely evening.
 
Now, I must address the 1.5 spanish speakers of the house. Yes, the fluent Stephen and the learning Herman Alley. I am in a ward heavily populated by Spanish speakers. What in the business is this "porkche" stuff. IN the beautiful language of Italian, Perché/poiché means why or because. So I am assuming your porkche means the same but stop destroying Latin ya pigs....oh i am full of puns tonight. Porkche - pigs. Miss me?
 
Okay,I'd better say goodbye before I start a Spanish rebellion so I love you guys! Keep on putting the bam into Fam and know that you are prayed for every single night. Fino a la prossima mercoledì, sono fuori!
 
Vi amo!

"This is Sorella Killpack's view of our companionship."

"We also get handed roses on the Street sometimes.
We can't give book of mormons out because we get roses....awkward"

Our wonderful Halloween celebration before we made our music video.

"Sorella Killpack, a proper British bloke in her natural habitat,
complete with Percy the Duck and a map of her inquisitions."

"Sorella Alley, a redskinned native in her natural habitat,
calling on the power of the house pot because it is probably against the
whitehand book to start a fire on the balcony."
"My pumpkin - I carved my pumpkin so that the light of the fire would
 illuminate the Pass along cards of Christ and the Book of Mormon.
That is right, glowing pass along cards on the balcony."

"Fighting off the frigid weather like arabian princesses."
"We took a little stroll through a mote.
Yes, a medieval-once-filled-with-water-and-sharks mote. "

"So a cathedral was built over a cemetary. And someone had the idea to dig up
the bones and put them inside the Church. I am guessing he was fired."

"a very famous panzerotti place in Italy...so buono."
