Week 75

We need a little Christmas
Buon Natale! Despite the Christmas Nazis in the district, it's Christmas season. For many reasons. 

1. It's chilly out 
2. Last Christmas was so long ago, 
3. Countdown to the 25th bc that's when I go home, 
4. Christmas music brings such a good spirit, 
5. Italy has no Thanksgiving barrier, 
6. IT IS ALWAYS ACCEPTABLE TO REMEMBER THE BIRTH OF OUR SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST! 
You get the point. It's Christmastime in Brixen! 

General Conference was amazing! There were so many things said that were just what I needed. Comfort about coming home and a reminder about my purpose in life and motivation to go forward with my "next mission" as President Allen would say. Also, Nigeria is getting another temple! I love Nigerians, if you didn't notice. 

I have one good finding story. While out on the street, this super tall guy walks towards us, with a huge smile on his face. Starts by pointing at our black tags and asks if they're of Satan. No. Then he switches to English when he finds out we're American. "Do you like Vampires?" "Um...sure" "I am one" , walks away laughing. So we met a vampire! 

Ok, I love you guys, Merry Christmas!
