9/12/2012 - Bitonto, Puglia


Ciao Tutti!
        To start I want to let you all know that last week I wrote letters to pretty much everyone. Or postcards at least. I found a bunch of old postcards from Catania so I wrote everyone something. To both Grandmas, Aunt Kristin, Fenns, Guglers, Sheffields, Lindseys, Quiros, and Watsons. Not to mention I sent some long written letters to mom and dad (yours is together) and Kristin and Scott. So keep your eye on the mail box because I actually pulled through this week. I may have written others too but I don't remember. If anyone else wants something let me know. I wrote Mike a big email last week to that same email address but he never responded so  I’m unsure whether he got it or not. I told him to call you every time he could so let’s hope he takes my advice =) I have resent the video from a couple weeks ago so let me know if it works this time (it's always weird sending around big files like this). About those pictures I sent you a while ago. Okay if it’s in a cave it’s a place called "Le Grotte di Castellano".  Google it, they are so AWESOME! Then if it’s a place full of white little huts and buildings and a giant gothic cathedral that's Albero Bello (not as awesome as the caves but still pretty cool). I hope this answers all your questions =) In my letters to you I wrote about college and stuff so i didn't have to send it to you in an email.
        Looks like you and Dad had a great trip at Zions. Getting real into the hiking thing? My companions really into hunting. Bow hunting. To be honest I've never been a fan of these kinda things but he's kinda got me a little into it. Maybe I'll go one day. Me and Anziano Andersen are still bent on the fact that sometime after the mission we are gonna do a several day rafting trip somewhere, and another missionary Anziano Sloan (never served with him but have served around him almost my whole mission) is pushing for me to spend a week up in Canada with him after the mission. So many friends =) One of the things I love about the mission is all the friends I make out here and the lasting friendships I will probably have for the rest of my life. I can't wait for you guys to meet of these guys after the mission. 
           Our work with Piero is going forward really well. Yesterday at zone conference I was able to talk to President Kelly for a little bit for some advice for Piero's interview and stuff. President Kelly is pretty excited too about this. He is really smart and wise too. I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes a general authority after the mission. So Piero is still up to be baptized on the 22nd early that Saturday morning in the Adriatic Sea. He meets with us almost every day. Other than Piero though the work is going like it always has. A bunch of finding work. I think I should mention that the ward missionary newsletter is a little frustrating sometimes when I get to read stories of how Adam Martin just has to order pizza and then he finds a young new investigator who also wants to serve a mission. I have ordered pizza probably over 100 times here in my mission and you know how many new investigators I've gotten from it? Haha just teasing =P Brasil is obviously a little different than Italy when it comes to missionary work. I'm happy to see all my friends are doing well. And that the church is growing in all parts of the world. Oh speaking of this stuff. I forgot to mention last week that I got about 20 or so little messages from our Primary =)  That honestly was the greatest thing ever. Along with all my post cards I sent one to Sister Payne thanking the primary for the little thoughts it was really, really helpful and nice. 
        Well I hope everything is well back home. I love and miss you all and hope you have a great week =)  I hope school is going well for Kristin and Scott and that Mike is adjusting well to college. Vi voglio un saco di bene!!!!!! and keep your eye on the mail box. I DID SEND LETTERS!!!
            Con amore,  Anziano Kyle Hill
