Guess who is getting in the water next week!! This guy!! Our investigator elvis is getting baptised next saturday. His name isn't really Elvis that is just what he told us to call him when we met him. His real name is owea. He is all ready and is coming to church. I will get some good pictures at the baptism.
Anyways ramdom Italians are so awesome. We were hanging out in the palaza calling our investigators and this man named Orlando come up to us. He stops and talks to us all the time, but this time was weird because he said "I have something really important for you" he then took a piece of paper and a pen from me. Then he continued to write the 10 commandments in Italian and gave it to me and said " for cultures sake you need to know these." Me and Anziano Harris were like "speaking of culture do you have this book." We tried to give him a book of mormon but he didn't want it.
The branch party went really well. We made eggs and pancakes and biscuts. It was really weird for the Italians. They didn't like that we eat everything off the same plate. They were like you need to separate it all. The next day we did some casa a casa and found a new investigator. Her name is Franca and my friends will love this. She let us in to talk after her Pomeranian basically attacked us. We are going to try and see her on friday. There are so many little things that she is prepared in for the gospel. The africans have alot of dreams that help them prepare to be baptised. One of our investigators had a dream that an american man came to him and told him he needed to stop smoking. He hasn't smoked for two weeks.
I gave a talk in church this last sunday. I talked about faith in jesus Christ and shared some scriptures from the B.o.M. I talked fro 10 straight minutes in Italian. There is a family in our ward from Idaho. They are going back to america for christmas and asked if there is anything I wanted from america. I told them I wanted one of those big bags of Cereal. Hopefully they don't forget cause the breakfast here sucks.
It is getting really cold here. The cold is different here. The cold in Utah is so much better because you can wear a jacket and be warm. Here if you are going to be cold no matter what. The humidity just makes it that way. I will have to buy a scarf and gloves after christmas is over.
We had a crazy guy come up to us on the streets the other day. He was Italian, but spoke perfect english. Well the grammer was perfect, but it was all nonsense. Nothing made any sense and there were tons of swear words. We tried to walk away, but he walked with us for 10 minutes. All I know about him is that he listens to tupac and eminem.
Also english class is turning out to be really sucsessful. There was a woman that kept saying " they have something different, we have it but they have alot more of it than anyone else." She asked us for a book of mormon and is now reading it and says she will come to church sunday. Things are really going well here.
Love you all
Anziano Faggioli
