Fifteen: August 14, 2013 Milano

Hi!

No time - seriously like 10 minutes!

Everything is good this week.  We had a lot of appointments and lessons, and we're trying to get more.  We had a few more investigators this past week but they've just slipped through our fingers. We can't find them, or they are always busy.

This week, aka yesterday, Sorella Hoppe and I decided something.  Because I understand Spanish and we both speak Italian, she is going to speak to me in Spanish and I'll speak to her in Italian.  Its going very well so far, at least that way we're not speaking English in public.

A volte è dificile ricordare che dobbiamo parlare in Italiano perché non so tutte le parole.

Also, there are just a lot of things we can't find here that are so common in the US.

face wash
water bottles
epsom salt ;(
stationery

Those things just aren't common or they are hidden!

We're trying to work on forever finding - we even talked to 2 women in a store today. We talk to people at metro stations a ton, but we could be better at it. 

Sorella Hoppe and I are really good for each other. We both want to change but we don't know how to be accountable to ourselves, so we are being accountable to each other and through prayer, so we're making changes.

We have a kind of motto...we don't say it or use it ever in a situation, but it's in the back of our minds when we don't want to do something: ''Push, push, push!'' We really want to push ourselves this transfer, and we're trying our best to do so.

There are a lot of funny phrases that Italians use: for 'I dont know' you say 'boh'.

I don't have any more time, we have to go....I thought it was only 430 when we got here but it was 530.

I didn't get a chance to read your email, but I did see that you graduated!!! CONGRATULATIONS, you did it! and with a perfect GPA!

WAHOO!!1

I love you all more than you know. And I cant wait to see you again - well I can wait, I'm just excited. 

Never give up!
Never surrender!  Don't you dare!


I love you
I love you
I love you

We'll talk more next week

Did you all get my letters? Tanney? Eva? I'm glad you got it, Mommy.

Thanks for the pic of Georgie.


I LOVE YOU
VI AMO TANTISSIMO!

Ciao
