1st week in Italy! YAY!

Im going on an adventure!!!!!..Actually im in one big adventure... After calling you mom at 3 in the morning, which i dont apologize for, we finally made it to Milano. President picked us up, and than kept us up for the rest of the day... which was awful in the sense that i thought i was going to pass out while shaking his hand for the first time, but awesome because i just love Italy, and Italian people, and the food.. i just love everything. The rest of our group wich was six of them including my companion that we left in Salt Lake made it by eightish or so that night.. So as of now my city is Sanremo, but we are not in Sanremo. We are in Savona. Our apartment has Anziani in it because we are pink washing! First Sorelle in Sanremo will be Sorella Egbert and i! So AWESOME! But its cool because we get to travel every day, and meet people from all over. We are right on the ocean though. Google it. It is amazing. I cant figure out how to do commas and other things on this keyboard, and its driving me crazy. Our pdays are on Wednesdays, which is the best day to have a pday. I LOVE our branch in Sanremo. There are some of the strongest members i have ever met in my life there. They know how important missionary work is, and they do it! One of my favorites is Sorella Pol. She was baptized over five years ago, and has gone through the temple now, and everything. Her husband is a nonmember and so we are hoping we can possibly change that. He his such an amazing person.. He just needs to be even more amazing, and accept the wonderful, true, and just plain awesome gospel. He wants us over for dinner though, so hopefully thats our in.. i feel like im some person that just does whatever to get into someones home.. but i guess thats exactly what we do.. Sorella Pol though, ah I just love her. She talks a million miles an hour, but so does everyone here... its a problem sometimes, especially when they want to talk to me specifically. I just smile, and pretend to know what is going on... which usually i do.. depending on who is talking. My top favorite things so far are the food, food, food. Please still love me when i come home fat. One of our members Rosa fed us lunch yesterday.. but get this. Their lunch is like our Thanksgiving.. but it happens every day!! It is probably the best thing that has ever happened to me. We walk all day every day though so hopefully that will equal the intake of getting gelato 3 times a day. Heavenly Father new Sanremo needed sorelle though. The members are so excited, and we have so many less active single woman who just need someone. I cannot wait to officialy move there... which is hopefully by the end of this week. To continue on with the list of my favorite things so far is the people. They are some of the coolest people. I love their culture, their way of life, and just them. Especially the members. Some of the most genuine people EVAAARR! Im just really stoked on life. And i want everyone to listen to me (which they dont) They see the black square that im holding and than look at my tag... and almost flee) but for those who do stop and listen, i respect. I learn every day. I LOVE my trainer, Sorella Egbert. She teaches me new things every day.. and i thing i added excitement to her life.. We were planning a Halloween party yesterday, and she told me i would be good at it because i seem like a partier.. what does that even mean? (That question mark is at the top of the keyboard... strano) Any who, i just love this gospel. It is so true, and i realize that more and more every day. I realize how much i need Jesus Christ. I realize how much these people here need him. Just lots of realizations here.. and all for the best. We have a baptisim in Sanremo this Saturday, and one here in Savona. The work is working. I am just so happy. I wasnt happy yesterday for like an hour because all we were hearing was, no no no!! Sto bene... and than you just things. Cosa male con Lei? Accept the truth! But Viviamo é impariamo... the keyboard actually spells Italian.. otherwise all other words are squiggled under with red that they are wrong.. its driving me patzo. Well i dont really have much else. We get a lot of kisses blown at us, and a lot of comments that probably arent really appropriate, but i figure i dont understand most of them.. so we are doing just great. Our area book was a complete disaster, and being the OCD person that i can be, we spent three hours on the train and here in Savona fixing it... figures though. It came from Anziani... ... that was rude. Scherzo, scherzo. We have some great Anziani in Sanremo now though. We have 2 simpatizzanti that we need to see this week, and lots and lots of non actives. But we are doing it, and i am so excited! Just some advice for the week... Spread the gospel! Read your scriptures, and sincerly pray to Heavenly Father. He is always waiting and listening. We just have to take the time to speak to him. He will speak back.. i promise, and learn how to make some good Italian food, because i never want the food we have at home again. I love the gospel, and Italian people... maybe more than all you at home now..
Scherzo. Io buffo... but really.  (:
Love Sorella Cristal Woodsssss! ... and they cant say my name, so they just call me the word for Woods which is boski..? Penso di si..any who, and go Ahhh..... and than attempt at saying Woods again. Ah! I just love them. (:(:(:
