Hey Family,
Well its been a crazy week, really busy. First off Ill answer your questions, I have been reading my scriptures everyday. We have an hour every morning so I read for 30 minutes then write in my study journal. Then we do a companionship study for nother hour. Antonia Lagioia accepted his baptismal date, he is being baptised this saturday, i convinced him to get the elders quorum pres to do it, because he is a great guy. And I will be confirming him on Sunday in Sacrament. Then when he gets the preisthood his son will be baptised, and his wife is already, but she is less active. But she is active now that he is baptised. Well last wednesday night after talking to yall we got a phone call from the pres of the branch. They had an "amercian" activity which was like a sldieshow and food. But they wanted us to cook. So we figured sisters could bake and we could make root beer from concentrate with ice cream floats. Thursday morning he calls us and says he just bought a 30pound turkey..and guess whos cooking it..us. 4 elders who eat pasta everyday... So we called the office and found out how to make one..then the other half of the battle, trying to find an over double the size of every oven in Italy. Wefound one, the sisters have a sweet house with a huge oven. So we cooked the turkey, which turned out amazing, brownies and cookies all that. It turned out great. The relief society pres apoligised for yelling at us. She flipped out at us because she thought we were wasting everyones time cooking a turkey. She doesnt like mossionaries very much. Anyways, it was a good activity. Sunday we all went to sleep in the afternoon, because last week was intense we were so busy. When I was writing the email last week I was falling asleep. Yesterday we went to the beach with the branch for pday. It was a pretty cool activity. Anotnioa Lagioa got realy into it, he was bbqing for everyone. It was fun. Yesterday was Italys liberation day so it was quiet and everything was closed. Monday we met with this less active guy..he walked up to us on the street the other day, we thought we was crazy. But we met with him, and it turns out I think hes just lonely. So well probably be meeting with him once a week for the rest of the transfer. Ok I didnt send the pictures yet because I wanted to get a few postcards to send to you os some of the sights around here. So I did Monday and I will send the CD today..and try to send a few pictures again now. After the American Activity on friday night it didnt end until 10 so we were home late. Then we tried to put the key into the doory and it didnt work. The lock was busted..so we spent 30 minuted trying to break into our apartment. Neilsen went through the neighboors and climbed onto our balcony but we had all the windows locked. So we just got that fixed today…85$ later for a lock. When we were boxing sunday night I met started talking to a guy who seemed pretty interested, I think hell be coming to church sunday. So thats was pretty cool. We actually met some kids to and theyve been coming to english course which is cool. Living so close to the beach and ocean..its nice because of the breeze, but tempting to jump in. Im proud to here you two have been studying every morning, Im sure you have seen the effect it has had on you life already everyday. Keep being diligent, and you learn to love them more. I cant believe may ius almost over..next time I talk to you I will have been out 5 months. Its crazy.

Well Take care,
I love you all,
Anz Costa
