We Got Pet Birds

Ciaooooo!

This week the baby birds hatched! There is this little box above our window where our huge Italian blinds roll up into. And there is a little gap that the birds can get into. And they made a nest there. They come swooping in and you hear them crash around in this little box, and you hear all this scratching. The only way for us to kick the birds out is to remove the part of the box that is inside the apartment, which would let the birds loose in our house and that's a no go. But anyways, the baby birds have hatched now. So we will see a bird come swooping in, hear the crash landing, and hear a million birds screeching for a minute or two. And yeah.

Also, we have had some miracle success in the work. People who are motivated to learn and see if this gospel is true have been finding US! They just come out of no where. I haven't had a lot of work up to this point, but we are seeing a lot of things looking up. We have some very prepared people. So we are excited for that.

This week we also had a BBQ on the military base! And oh my goodness it was like I was in the States! We had potato salad, hamburgers, ICE CREAM (not gelato but actual American ice cream!) with Hershey Caramel syrup and chocolate chip cookies! It was sooo wierd but a lot of fun. We had some Italians come too so it was a mix of Italy and America. Definitely enjoyed it.

I also am now a translator. We have to translate all the meetings in church because it's Italian and English. And I had to do Relief Society by myself this week. Its was hard because they don't stop and make it easy to translate. They go off a long time in Italian and then you can't remember the first thing they said. But we made it through, and I think I'll be really good with the language once I leave Caserta.

Anyways it's been a good week. I love you all!!  Keep doing good out there!!
