I love you all! So... This week after P-day, Elder Cook came and talked about the economic circumstances in 1837, which was the year section 112 was given. He said that the economic situation today is similar to then, and that that means good things for missionary work. People have been humbled by the economic situation.
My life here at the MTC has been pretty repetitive. We've taught in the TRC 3 times now, and yesterday, I was very impressed by my skills in talking in Italian. I was a little peeved that I didn't know how to explain stuff about priesthood authority, but all in all, it went well.
On my birthday, I got an incredible amount of letters and packages. I have so many cookies now that I can't handle it. MERCY! Stop sending the cookies for a while. I can't handle it.
I've had a really bizarre time with my health. My sickness I had a week ago is gone, but I still have a cough that's pretty nasty. Last night, my tooth that's been having a cold sensitivity for a year just started killing, so I talked with a doctor. He prescribed Lortab and Amoxicillin. My tooth hurt quite a lot, and I started crying because it hurt so bad. I took a Lortab, and an hour later, the pain subsided. This morning, I woke up with minor pain in the same tooth, and general nausea (could this be a side effect of either of those drugs, dad?). I picked up a sack lunch, and then threw up. Not a fun feeling. I still feel nausea right now.
In other news, I've read through the book of Alma, and I have finished Isaiah finally. I'm learning all sorts of fun things in class, and life here is actually pretty good, in spite of my health problems. I hope I get better soon. I'm going to the temple for the 12:40 session... we go every tuesday. Hopefully this time I can make it through without coughing up a lung.
I have pictures of my district and my companion and me that I'll send in the physical letter.
Abbraci e baci!

P.S. Can you send my blue hoodie from south pacific in my next package? I need a P-day sweater. I want that one.
