Another Baptism and a Visit to Ascoli Piceno

Let's just say that God is good and time flies out here on the mission. It's been a very good week to say the least though.  Early in the week me and my companion had the opportunity to go to Ascoli Piceno which is the northernmost city in the mission. The Anziani there are in the district so we did a scambio. It was fun. So they are a group, not a ward or branch, in Ascoli. They run under the direction of Pescara and do church in the Anziani apartment. It's crazy. But we had a really good time up there. It's a beautiful mountain city with history and buildings older than Rome. It was a really good time and when I was up there we may have explored an abandoned military base. It was honestly so scary because that's how all horror movies start but we didn't die so it was fun.  In other news we had a Baptism this week :) Our brother Felix got baptized and it was awesome! Another brother in the ward baptized him and it was honestly such a great experience for both of them. The members here have been awesome to him and it's really just amazing. I'm so lucky to be here at this time and it's a blessing to see people decide to follow Christ and then see the blessings that come from it. I honestly love it here.  Time is also going by very fast though. This week Saturday is transfer calls. I don't think me or my companion will be transferred so we are both very excited to have the opportunity to stay here in Pescara. We love the members and the city and everything. Also this week was "American Week" at one of the store franchises here in Italy so I bought some microwave popcorn, mozzarella sticks, chocolate covered popcorn, and some dried cranberries. It's nice. It's also funny to see what people think American food consists of. They had doughnut mix there. Like add milk, shake, fry and you got doughnuts hahaha America.  Well all in all it was a good week and I hope everyone at home is doing good. Love you all so much and miss you even more!
