universita' di Trento

Hey everyone!

So this week was pretty good. Went to Interviews last Wednesday and had some awesome lessons from our APs and Sister Wolfgramm. Learning how to budget money and keep houses clean since missionaries in general are having a hard time with that (speaking of money, I got my reimbursements in, and now reimbursements only take 2-3 days to process since missionaries are traveling so much). Also got a good talk with President and got some things cleared up about the work.Was fun getting all the letters today too since I wasn't able to get them last week. Hopefully we will get a better forewarning in the future so you can all write in a timely manner.

As far as investigators go, we don't really have a lot. Trento is full of stranieri and Catholics and university students. So the stranieri don't speak English or Italian. The Catholics are all old and don't want to even listen to us. And the university students just don't care about religion at all. So in order to combat this, we are starting our super plan to help the branch sort of get off of its feet and start doing missionary work. We have all these super sweet plans to have President Wolfgramm come down and talk with them in a fireside. We have a plan to help the leadership start doing activities to invite their friends to. And we are hoping all this pays off since at the end of the day, the members do the best missionary work.
Other than that, I got to scambio with Anziano Roisum, a greenie, (Osborn's child) and we did some pretty sweet work together. Found out where all the university students live as well. We also had a birthday party for Anziano Osborn which was super fun. Not many opportunities to do something special for other missionaries.It is getting cold and rainy outside and we are hoping it goes away. Getting a scarf today to keep warm.

Love you all and hope to hear more from you!
