Ciao
a tutti,
Well I believe an apology is required here.
Sorry I'm writing you so late. We had a special Zone Conference last
week and Elder Kent Richards of the 70 came and spoke to us. He talked about a
ton of really, really important stuff that I am totally bummed I had to wait
til my last transfer to hear. Some real useful tools and advice for teaching
and cool new stuff I had never tried yet. At least I still have another 4 weeks
to try it all out though. We left late Tuesday night and took a weird little
train out to the Rome 3 apartment. Anziano Wright and Anziano Wultzl (he’s
Austrian) were there and took good care of us. They have a totally awesome
apartment too. The only problem was the water heater was broken and we would
have had to take freezing showers if it wasn't for me to save the day and use
my good old handyman knowledge I picked up from the mission and fix the water
heater. I'm so proud of all the random stuff I have learned to do on my mission
like changing power outlets, fixing water heaters, plumbing, electrics and circuits
and many other cool things. Of course I've become an expert at missionary work
too but that's a given. So yeah, after that night we had to wake up at
4:30 in the morning to get a bus and arrive at the church building by 7.
Arriving there I was able to run into a couple of my old companions that I haven't
seen in a long time like Anziano Lacey. I was able to talk to the missionaries
who are serving in Sassari right now and learned that Adhemar is still taking
the lessons! His whole family got baptized as
Jehovah Witnesses though. He's
still strong though. He still remembers me and wants my info so I was able to
write a little note to send back to Sassari with Anziano Stevens who is working
there. We got back late last night so no real time to do anything but return
home. I've been going to Roma quite a bit these last few weeks but now I don't
have to for the rest of the transfer.
As for missionary work I decided to give
all the work to the other companionship so the greenie could have a good
experience. Me and Whitfield are starting from scratch. We have already found a
couple really good contacts though and meet one of them tonight so things are
going forward. This transfer is blowing by a little fast. Looked at my blog this morning too and saw
that you already have my homecoming talk planned, on Easter! What a day for
homecoming! Cool to think that the next week is General Conference too. Do you
already have my flight plans? I'm praying I’m on a direct from London to LAX.
That would be super convenient even if it’s a 15 hour flight or something.
I want to have to pick you guys out through all
those Mexicans and Chinese people holding up giant signs in
the LAX international terminal. Make sure the setting apart is good and
everything too. I need to go on dates and stuff haha. Just yesterday the
mission presidents wife told me I was too skinny and I told her that I have to
diet because in 5 weeks I have to start talking to girls again haha. Being
towards the end of the mission is strange. It reminds me of how my trainer
Anziano Medina was his last transfer. He gets married in April BTW at the Vegas
temple. It’s strange how fast some things happen. I'm finishing strong though.
I made myself have a rough situation this last transfer on purpose so I can
keep myself working hard to the last minute. NO SLACKING AT THE FINISH LINE!!!
And it doesn't finish here. When I get home let our missionaries know
I’m ready to BAPTIZE the whole SCV!!! Woo!!!
Anyways, some serious things. I need a job when I get
home, but that's not just something that happens overnight. The fact is, the
sooner I get working back home the better. I'm gonna need HELP okay. I would
like to know if you could start asking around already if anyone knows of anything,
even if it's the most disgusting job ever. Even if it involves me commuting or
even moving somewhere (if it's worth it) please help me out because I don't want
to have to worry about this stuff yet while I'm still on my mission. Know that
I'm willing to do anything and whatever gets me the most I'll take. I'll get
right away on applications when I get home but still nothing beats getting into
a job where you have connections or something like that. Get me into PWC with
dad cleaning the toilets haha I don't know anything okay? Something that gets
me a cool cell phone though like the one mom and dad have would be nice though.
I got to hold a Nokia Lumia 920 the other day because a member had it, NOW THAT
IS A SICK PHONE, makes the Galaxy S3 and iphone 5 look like baby toys. =) okay
time to put my head back on.
Well I love and miss you all. I hope everything at
home is going well. I guess I'll see you in a little bit haha. Vi voglio bene!
Con amore, Anziano Kyle Hill
