Life is good

Part of our responsibility is visiting all of the Sorella’s and Anziano’s  apartments. They give a spiritual thought and a prayer. There are no words to describe these great missionaries. They are the finest of the finest. We never cease to be amazed at their depth of dedication and their optimism. They show great respect and love for each other.The custom here is to give great "abbracios” or hugs. When they get together it like a big party. They are so glad to see each other.I am sure there are probably some problems but I honestly have yet to meet anyone who is not of the highest quality.They are from all cultures,economic groups and countries. So far we have become acquainted with native Italians, Ethiopians,Canadians Peruvians and ofcourse many from the United States. Last week we visited with Elder Tinoco born in Peru but living in Genoa and Elder Cooper from Tooele, Utah    It was obvious that they were great friends. Elder Cooper is the senior companion and training elderTinoco. Two days later ElderTinoco had appendicitis and had his appendix removed the day before yesterday. Elder Cooper sat by his side all night and cared for him. I have enclosed a picture of these good young men.
