Cari miei,

Trieste is beautiful!!  What a cool city!  And it is just full of miracles!  We see several everyday.

This week happened the greatest miracle of my mission so far!  Sunday night we were planning and we found a spot on the map that we had never explored before.  So we decided to check it out.  We climbed on a bus that we thought would get us close.  The bus took off up into the mountains in the middle of nowhere.  We had no idea where to get off.  I prayed that Heavenly Father would guide us to know where to get off and that this situation that we had gotten ourselves into would turn out to be a good experience.  We got off where we felt it was right.  We then pulled out the map and decided where we needed to go.  We had to do some wandering but we eventually got to a street that we thought would get us where we wanted to go.  The street was pretty much empty and we had to walk for a while.  Eventually we saw these men talking on the side of the road.  One of them left and the one that remained yelled out to us, "How are you?" in English.  We of course stopped to talk to him.  We found out that he knew about the church many years ago but didn't join for lack of time.  He has lived in Italy, New York, Switzerland.  He speaks 5 different languages.  He told us that he has read the Bible 30 times and the entire Book of Mormon once.  He thinks it is a fantastic book!  He says now that he's older and has more time, we would like to join our church.  I am super excited to see what happens with him in the coming weeks.


Last week for P-Day we went to a big cave called Grotta Gigante.  It was super cool!  I heard it's the biggest tourist cave in the world.  Cool stuff.

This week the ward had an activity where they invited African members of the church to present the African Culture.  It was super cool.  The sang and danced and then we ate some typical food.  Super good time.  Pictures attached!!

Well gotta go!  Love you all!  Ciao!
