Italian Hearse

March 13, 2017

OK, so we did a Scambio in L'Aquila and that's where everything started to go wrong, but before that L'Aquila is really old and really cool and resides in the mountains so literally no matter where to walk to, you walk up hill even when you walk back the path you just came, you walk up hill no matter what. 

But we had a good lesson there, while I was with Anziano Daniels in his 2nd transfer and it was interesting being the one to know more Italian but really lets you realize how much you know, so that was nice.  

But on the way back we had to run and we caught our bus barely and then I look at my tablet and it's the wrong tablet...  Because me and Anz Daniels have the same case amd it is really hard to tell them apart so know I have been stuck with his for this week, so that is fun, but I will get mine back on Tuesday so I can't wait! 

But it didn't end there, after we got off the bus I realized my phone had slipped out of my pocket and we had to go retrieve that for the bus dispositorio, but there was a nice bus driver that gave us a personal ride to the place so it was resolved. 

Also it was Italian women's day that day so after being guilt tripped we bought the sisters these yellow flowers that everyone buys for all the women because of this holiday, so it was fun to do something nice. 

You know what's funny,  when a member asks for your help and then when you get there, you wrap up six feet of clothes shoes and bags, and then another six feet of diapers, all in plastic wrap each in the biggest bags I have ever seen, and then leave like nothing happened. Cause you know that's just normal here. 

Also we met this awesome family that live out in Cepagatti and after talking to them for a while and explaining why we are sorry we can't eat the cake you made for us because of alcohol content we gave our message and they want us to come back because we are "bravi ragazzi" so that's just nice and the father gave us a small tour of the city and showed us his garden and vineyard, so that was fun. 

Sunday the mission president came and just miracles happened, because we have been struggling with getting investigators to church but this week, 3 came and another potential showed up in the last meeting and participated and is giving us an opportunity to teach English to 20 something giovani in Chieti so that'll be great!! 

Also this P-day we got to go to Caserta near Napoli and I am going to have Napolitano pizza soon so I am excited I will send a picture of me eating the best pizza in the world later so don't worry. We are her for Anz Bohn's Permesso, and he showed me this giant palace that was in Mission impossible as a copy cat for the Vatican and the temple scene in star wars as well, so cool! 

So yah that's it so far have an awesome week!
