We had our last classe with Sorella Francom and that was kinda sad, but anyway she predicted i will go to Sciacca. Anz. Macdonald and I got haircuts, which were actually pretty good, at least for me. We then had our last classe with Fratello Hatch which again was crazy and sad. He predicted I'll go to Roma 5.

14 Nov--On a Plane the Whole Day (they had really good food on
the international flight)
15 Nov--In Italia Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! €
First thing you notice, at least in Rome, it smells like smoke but that's expected. Second thing is like in New York you might die by taxi, here they are all worse than every taxi driver in New York. With their tiny cars they try to see how many they can fit into one lane and if that doesn't work they just hang out in the bus/bike lane as well. That whole day i suffered from jet lag and literally fell asleep standing up and almost fell over. We also met Elder Southworth an Italian waiting for a Visa to go to Arizona, he is very cool.

Today we went out and saw the sights including the Collesium, a building they call the wedding cake, and St. Giovanni's Basillica. Each of these places you think are big but they are much much bigger in real life so definitely lived up to expectations. That night we learned which section of the mission we will be serving in and I am serving in PESCARA which is an awesome east coast city, my new companion is Anziano Olsen also awesome.

I met my comp. and he is super awesome and we get along really well, he calls himself Thor so that's pretty funny, he is from Cedar City. I also met the two Sorelle in my district who live almost across the street from us. Sorella Calio (Italian)(apparently she is my mission mom and i am her son, I don't know how this works yet) and Sorella Walch who is from Cali. We taught an English class for people who want to learn english for free, that was super fun and the people are way way nice all the time. We also went to a square plaza and talked to people for a while. We ride busses practically all the time here so I'm getting used to that.

We are planning a thamksgiving party just becuase why not eventhough they don't celebrate thanksgiving just to eat and meet more people. I had a Kebab which are really deliciuos sandwich things overflowing with meat and whatever else you decide to put on it. We taught Carlo who will probably be getting baptized soon hopefully I'm not for sure yet. We also got to help Carlos, who is blind, get money from an ATM and then go shopping so that was a pretty great experience.

We woke up early and jogged to the beach (like five minutes away walking) and kicked/hit a volleyball around for a while in the sand, it was fun and quite beautiful during the sunrise. We met a girl on the bus who is here from Turkey going to school and we got her interested in our english class becuse she doesn't know english or italian very well so they she can learn both. She also translated the header of David Morrell's message which is in Turkish which was super nice of her and now i know what one of those things say.

There are about 40ish people in the ward here which is quite a lot for around here and I met a bunch of them and introduced my self and bore my testimony in Italian which was different but still fun. We also taught a lesson to some Africani in english (luckily) they are really awesome and way spiritual it's great. We had lunch at the church with a bunch of members and all the cibo (food) was deliciouso and some things i did not like before are actually quite good the way they cook them.
