Hello everyone! So this week has been good, finally started getting some work done after being ill (both of us, I can't say my companion doesn't ever give me anything now), and it's gone well! I had a miracle happen last night. Even in English I can't keep track of more than one person at a time and what they are saying. Want to confuse me? Have two people speak to me at the same time! In Italian it's worse, I struggle to keep up with one Italian! Well last night we had an appointment and my companion had the brilliant idea of taking two chatterbox Italians to an appointment with another chatterbox Italian and a chatterbox Cuban! Great! I can't keep up with ONE of them usually, never mind FOUR! Unfortunately I was in Piacenza with Anziano Winegar at the time so I couldn't stop him. Well, I went in with a fervent prayer or two in my heart, one that I'd understand what was being said, and two that I'd get my revenge on my companion. Well I sat down, and the chaos began, ALL FOUR talking to me at the same time, about four different topics, and a hundred miles an hour. It took me a minute to figure out what was wrong, I could understand everything they said! I wasn't able to say much because they wouldn't stop for breath, but I understood and digested everything they said. It was just crazy! The Holy Spirit really can do wonders when you let it! Just let Him work his magic on you, and I know that He can do anything, even help you understand a whole gang of Italians!

I love you all!

Anziano Nelson
