Buongiorno a tutti! We are getting ready for our open house this saturday called 'Chi sono i mormoni?' ''Who are the mormons?'' We have printed tons of fliers and have invited everyone we know. We have planned it very well and it will be a very spiritual night. We really hope that people show up.We are very excited to have our members be known and give them this opportunity to spread their bright light. The language is going well. My problem is vocabulary! Last night on the phone i had a funny situation calling the branch primary leader. I wanted to ask her if i could move the pictures that were posted on the board for this open house that we are doing . I had no clue what verbs to use so i tried so many and she just did not understand. We talked for about 10 minutes trying to understand eachother. She then called back and realized what i meant and then was really cool with it. I was so exhausted and my brain was fried. I had a really neat ''scambi'' (exchange) with Anziano Pratt yesterday, who is going home in less than a week. His dad went to Milan on his mission so he is really excited to come and pick him up. I learned a great lesson on humility, understanding, and gentleness. He is a little more timid but shares his love with those around him. We met a really great guy named Roberto that we had the neatest talk with and then after Anziano Pratt said, ''He is going to come and be baptized.'' He got really excited and was full of faith at that moment. That changed my day and my attitude. When we expect the best out of others and believe in them they will then do the same to themselves. Love, Anziano Brewster
