Write a Date

Hey everyone!
So today we don't have a whole lot of time since Anziano VanAuker needs to pack. I'm going to be staying here in Trento and I still don't know who my next companion is going to be so be prepared for that. Transfer calls didn't come in until 11pm last night which was kinda weird. I'm just glad I get to stay in the same district as Anziano Osborn for the 5th transfer running!
Yes, I did in fact get all the packages. The Reeses were a life saver and the Legos are being used in lessons now. Also had to reorganize my picture book to include the others. For Christmas we get all the info on what we need to do for that when December hits. I've already got a gift for Tori and Mark so I just need to know what mom and dad want from Italy.
I got my scarf and hat. Has really helped the past few days as it has gotten down to 5-10° Celsius (30° is 80 in F). No snow yet but lots of rain which is even worse in my opinion. Hopefully it clears up and turns into snow over the next few days.
We got to go to Stake Conference in Verona this past Sunday which was pretty sweet. But we learned that one of our progressing investigators from 2 months ago is getting baptized in another city. Which is pretty sweet but just disappointed that we didn't get to baptize him.
The next few days are going to be interesting too as we prep for a fireside in which President Wolfgramm is coming to speak with us. We are officially starting our "Write a Date" program with the members to start getting referrals and such from them. Hopefully it all goes well and we can get some sweet new investigators through member missionary work. Still doing a lot of casa in casa ourselves but don't see much results unfortunately. As one member told me a while ago, "Trento is my test."
Well, I enjoy hearing about how well everyone is doing. Unfortunately I have heard that my handwritten letters are NOT reaching the United States. I'll see if I get any back but if not then something is up and I'll try looking into it. I don't know a lot about the Italian mail system though so I can't make any promises.
Talk to you all next week!
