Dearest Mommy,
 
So, I'm tired. Period. I've been everywhere these past couple weeks. I was in Prato, Pistoia, tomorrow we're going to Milano, and guess where I was on Monday... Pisa!!! Finally! I mean, I was there doing work and not site seeing but it was still cool. Its the only city in the tuscany zone I haven't visted...until now. Haha I did walk past the leaning tower and take pictures while my companion made some phone calls. I think the next time I go there I'll be taking pictures of all the weird poses people do there. Like, you go there, and you see 4 or 5 people making it seem like they're leaning or doing something to the tower but from different angles it just looks goofy. I can't explain it, you just have to see it!
 
The work is going good as well. Giulio is doing good, just not married yet. Here's the cool thing though. We finally told him that in like 2 weeks anziano bullock is going home and he was like, 'Wait, that means we have to do a dinner soon.' Ha so in two weeks he's making us bistecca fiorentina! YES. I will eat a Florence steak without having to pay 30 euro. I count that as a success. He's doing really well too. He quite smoking! WOO! Know he just needs to quite not being married and he'll be able to be baptized. Prayers!
 
Cool miracle story that happened just last night. My companion for some strange reason had a weird craving for pizza so called and the guy came after we were done planning. Anyway here comes the cool part. He notices our picture of christ on the door(Its the one of him showing himself to mary after he's resurrected) and asks who we are. We then continue to explain, give him our card, number, and money, he gives us the pizza, and then he splits. about 20 minutes later after the pizzas are long gone and eaten and we're just about to bed, we get a call. It turns out its him! He said he's not too happy with the catholic church or the evangelist church he's attending, the picture of christ on our door really touched him, and now he wants to join. Haha he was asking where we were located. He's coming to church on sunday and we'll be seeing him Friday. Woo! The cool thing is that he's really concerned about his life. Apparently he's not happy with where his life went and wants to change. He's problem is that he knows the only way to find happiness is through the family, and he doesn't have one. I'm excited to see where we go with this guy. He's from Palermo! I don't think that means much to you but its super fun talking to him because people from sicily have crazy cool accents. 
 
Well that's about all Elder joey slash Anziano Dell'Oso has for you guys today. Its super hard to type today because I'm using a weird keyboard. There's the english alphabet and also the arabic one soo...it gets confusing.
 
Much love to all and I'll talk to you on Sunday!
