How did you do it mom?

Grazie!!!!!!!!!

Hey thanks to all of you bravi. Your short letters were actually hilarious, and I almost died laughing in the internet caffe. I got a lot of stange looks. Thanks to all of you. So to fill ya'll in on this last month(sorry it's been so long). I started out with General Conference which is very hard to watch in both languages at the same time. We finally got only the english to work, but it was only for the Sunday morning session. It was still good. I was really suprised at how much I did understand. That week I had my 20th bday:( I'm so old, and I can really feel it. Then we threw a party for this member kid. His mother asked us if we could organize some games and just try to control the children. It was a mad house. I wanted to kill all 13 of those ten year olds. I now have a new respect for my mother. How did you do it mom? I also know now why I never got a birthday party. Also we made an amazing pinata for the party, but our stupid zone leaders thought it would be fun to play darts with it before it dried. So logically they popped the balloon, and the entire thing caved in. I wanted their blood as well. We also went to an amazing castle near Andria called the Castel del Monte. It's apparantly pretty famous, and Hans you can see it on the 1 cent piece of the £uro. The other really exciting thing that happened to us was that we had a General Authority come and talk to the missionaries here in my mission. It was really amazing, and he recieved some inspiration from the Spirit which told him that every companion ship would have a baptism in the next 30 days. It was really cool, and the Spirit was so thick there you could cut it with a knife. Well, the next best thing is that I recieved a brand new missionary from the States. He's like a baby fresh from the womb, completely helpless out here in this cruel world. He is awesome though, and I'm dying from laughter every two seconds. For those of you that have been keeping track(actually I'm sure only my mother has been), I hit ONE YEAR today! It's crazy to think that I'm now on the down hill slope. I actually don't like that feeling. Anyway I have to go right now cause there are alot of missionaies waiting for me so we can go festiggiare.

Arrivederci, e tante belle cose.

Con Affetto,
Anziano Paul
