He started volunteering  and he made friends there, and he began going to a church and he made friends there, and at Christmas he invited my husband and me to a party in his apartment, and the place was filled with his friends.
Iniziò a fare il volontario  e si fece degli amici; iniziò a frequentare una chiesa, si fece amici anche lì e a Natale invitò me e mio marito  a una festa a casa sua ed era pieno di suoi amici.
