Sassari, Sardinia - 5/2/2012


Dear Family and friends,

        So this week I’m not quite sure what to recount to you guys. A funny story, yesterday we went out with Maurizio and his ex-girlfriend. Maurizio left for Cagliari today so we sent them an awesome referral with a baptismal date. So last night we were with them when all the sudden Maurizio had to leave and we were left there with his ex-girlfriend and some of her friends. This is where it got kinda awkward and we had to escape because we started talking about America and music then one of them invited me and Anziano Lacey to go to a Blink 182 concert with them in Milan! Hotel room with a two incredibly attractive 20 year old Italian girls at a blink 182 concert? GET THEE HENCE SATAN!! YOU HAVE NO POWER HERE!!! At least that’s what I said in my head. We politely told them thank you for the offer and that we have a responsibility as missionaries to not do things like that. Invited them to English course and got outta there. I helped a blind guy cross the street this week. All of our investigators are doing great. We spent a lot of time this week at people’s fields doing service. This Saturday was spent in the huge citrus orchard at the Mastino's house. Grandma Nancy would be proud of me. We picked so many oranges and lemons. I found myself secluded for a second in the huge orchard by a little stream so  thought it would nice moment to have a Joseph Smith sacred grove moment so I knelt down to pray for a second and all the sudden heard a noise and looked up to see a white figure walking through the trees toward me. I was scared at first and then just felt awkward and strange as I looked to see Anziano Lacey looking at me through the trees with a look of serious concern. I scrambled back up and put my gloves on and told him that I was ... praying haha. I think he thinks I'm weird. Oh well =P what can I do. 3 transfers are more than enough for two guys to spend together. It is odd in our mission that we have been together so long and that I have been here so long. The average for us is about 3-4 transfers so 4-5 and a half months per city. I am pretty sure I'm gone after this but it is true that Pres. Kelly is a bit of a risk taker and a little unpredictable. We'll see what happens. I love our mission pres. He is so inspired and we have a zone conf. in Cagliari next week so we'll see him soon. 
      So about the phone call home. Yes it is next week. I'll give you all the details next Wednesday because I'm not sure if I'll call Sunday or Saturday. This time I just want family though. Close family. Grandmas are free to come because they weren't there last time but as for now just you guys and them. It was a little crazy last time so maybe next Christmas everybody but for now just Mom, Dad, Mike, Scott, and Kristin. I don't want to offend anyone, it's not that I don't want to talk to everyone. It's just I want some more time to talk to my mommy on mother’s day =) I miss her. 
     Well I love you all and hope you all have a great week. Miss you e vi voglio bene ci vediamo fra poco.
         Con amore, Kyle
