A Trip to Bologna and a hike

Here are a few excerpts from Drew's latest letter:

Well, i just got back from Bologna yesterday. We were there for about a day and a half to get my comps Permeso di soguorno. (A card saying you have the right to live here for....however long) Its a very pretty city. Full of culture! 4th largest Duomo is there. 1st is in the Philipins 2nd Milano 3rd Rome 4th Bologna. I bought a pretty fancy green tie there. Couldn't resist! I wouldn't mind getting called to that city. (Bologna is about 180 miles to the east for where Drew is currently serving. Above is a photo I found on the web)

We went on our hike this week. That was a blast! I had a ton of fun! I got some awesome pics! The butterflies here are pretty cool looking. I also got an EPIC pic of a lizard on a rock with plants in the background. Pretty cool. (No I didn't get a chance to catch it, I did however catch one and the little bugger bit me! Stupidà cosà!(stupid thing) I also got a pic of a Italian Slug that was about 8 inches long. I took a picture...Anyway we did this hike in the Mountains of Limonè. About 15 kilo to the French boarder. It was awesome. On the way up we all were eating WILD STRAWBERRIES! They were so good! They grew everywhere and were all along the trail. So once we hit the summit, we found a nice huge meadow and hung out there for a few hours. I got the chance to wrestle and fool around with The Cicciò brothers, they also taught me how to do a side flip. So that was pretty cool. (I believe he is refering to Limone Piemonte. Google earth shows it is just south of Cuneo about 12 miles. I'll post the pics as soon as we get them)

Teaching is going ok... i guess...we had to drop the ones with babtism dates,(they had committed 2 people to be baptized in the coming weeks), one we think he never told his wife about this and once she found out, she forced him to block us. The other one wouldn't do anything!!!!!!! We leave her commitments and she wouldn't do anything!
We are going to invite Sabrina (Claudio's friend) to babtism this week or next week. She wants to be a member, but we want her to have a spirtual experience first. She's been converted socialy, but not spirtualy yet. And the spiritual one is the most important.
