We've done a lot of caroling this week. It's a great way to remind people the reason behind all the lights and
happiness. And sometimes we even get people to stop and talk to us! My suggestion to sing "Grandma got
run over by a Reindeer" got rejected so now we have a few days to put together "Winter Wonderland" before
the concert this Sunday.

One night our Anziani wanted kebab and so did we so we got some. But this place has SUPER kebabs. Like
they're huge. But we all got one and none of us could allow the others to show us up by not finishing it. The
whole night and next day our digestive systems were torn up. Lesson learned.

We went to Collegno and helped with their mostra. They had a spot in the local street market and we passed
out a ton of "Sii una luce" cards. Then someone actually stopped to talk to me! I was feeling great as I told this
man about who we were etc. but everyone was laughing behind me. Turns out he's a member.

Our mission has started this new thing where each companionship established a goal of how many people they
can talk to and tell them our purpose as missionaries and then every week we have to report our actual
percentage obtained of that number. To be honest, this percentage thing has really motivated me to not let
people escape before they know what a Mormon missionary is.

Italian hot chocolate makes me want to puke every time but every little old lady we visit insists on making it for
us and we can't leave until the cup is empty. There's a lady named Germana. She is 95! But her mind and body
work like she's 60 and she amazes me. I just want to talk to her forever. She's lived through so much and she
can actually remember it! She was one of the first members in Torino.

Ok my invite for y'all is to read Matthew 5 and apply it to your life. Be a light!

we made it on this "professional photographer's Facebook page of sights around Torino. He requested we
sing "White Christmas"
more singing! We sang in parts, with Anziano Garrett singing soprano (this guy is amazing!) But he refused to
be in the video.
