Ciao
Tutti,
Well this has
been a BUSY last few weeks. Quite a change from what I have been experiencing
my last few transfers here. From traveling to appointments, to whatever else
random stuff we need to do, I feel like I've been everywhere this last week.
But the real hero this week is our branch president, President Panisco. He has
given us so many rides to so many random little places for appointments and
picking people up. I thought the poor old man was gonna fall asleep at the
wheel this Sunday. We had to wake up at 5:30 to get picked up by him to drive
out to a city 40 minutes away, to pick up an American member who had just moved
in, to get her to church. He slept only 4 hours or so the night before also.
Than after a huge lunch in church he drove us out to meet our new huge
investigator family out in Palombio (a little town 20 or so minutes away). That
guy is such a champ. We owe him something nice.
So I guess you're
wondering about my companion. He is okay. We went to the Dr. in Roma and he
wasn't sure what was up with him so he has to go see a specialist in a couple
months. But no worries. Everything should be okay.
Our trip to Rome was
great! I have a ton of pics but I don't want to spend another 20 minutes
uploading them all to you guys haha. It was fun. We got on a SUPER FAST AWESOME
TRAIN called the "Freccia Argento" or "Silver Arrow" in English.
We got to Rome in 4 hours, stopped by the church, ate lunch with the Assistants
(who are both really good friends from the beginning of the mission) and then
we hit the trams and buses and saw some cool stuff. I know Rome like the back
of my hand now. We ran into a couple members on vacation too. It was my first
time getting "hey elder'd" as we call it. We saw the Vatican and a
couple other things. I ate a sandwich with a bunch of African guys under
the obelisk in front of Santa Maria Maggiore. We then went to the
Doctor and then to the assistants apt. I slept on the balcony on an air
mattress! It was actually really interesting to sleep outside under the Roman
night sky. The stars are very clear in Rome surprisingly. Way peaceful. I
slept really well. We got a train this morning and here we are now. Sat next to
a woman studying to become a prosecutor, she was reading a 1000 page
massive text book filled with laws and articles. She had to memorize it all…
poor thing.
Okay, and to
answer your questions. The family we are teaching is great. They are coming to
church next Sunday. The branch is doing awesome. I’m eating fine. So no ci
preoccupate!
I hear Elliot and Carlton come home soon. Give those guys big
hugs from me! The mission goes by way to fast. Their farewells feel like
yesterday. I'm working on letters to all you guys so hang in there! Have a
great trip at Newport and I miss you all so much! VI VOGLIO BENE!!
Con amore!
