OK transfer calls came in and I have been transfered to
Ascoli with Anz. Parkinson! For those of you not in the mission that probably
sounds super cool, but it is literally the least distance I could have been
transfered. I have nothing against Ascoli it will probably actually be a really
cool city and it is super old and has some pretty cool stuff, but since Ascoli
is not a big ward yet, it is technically a part of the Pescara ward which is
were I was before so that's fun.
Before actual
transfers we got to visit with some of our investigators and to say good bye
and when we were with Michele and Lucrezia Delle Foglie after a great lesson
and after we bore our testimonies they were just crying and there was a lot of
emotion in those last few moments with them. This 80 year old couple and us had
just gotten so close through the sharing of the gospel I just hope to be able
to see them again and since I am only in Ascoli I might be able to see them
during a Scambio, ma vediamo.
Then during
actual transfers on Thursday Anz. Bohn and I went down to Ascoli to be with
Anz. Parkinson while his old comp left stayed there for two hours and went to
L'aquila to see off Anzi. Daniels and Bohn. So that Anz. Whited wouldn't be
alone and after that we came back to Ascoli for 6 hours then went up to Pescara
for a ward conference the next day and stayed there for Pday and we are now
heading back. All this means that since I was transfered to Ascoli on Thursday
I have been there for less than 9 hours in 5 days so yah.
It was actually really
cool to do an awesome Giro and see everyone before they ship off and then to
meet all the new anziani e sorelle
I also got to say
goodbye to some of the cool members in Pescara and got to help out Carlos,
the coolest Italian blind guy I have ever met, one more time.
That Sunday night
we did a gesso with the sorelle since the anziani of Pescara had to teach a
lesson. It was really cool we asked people what they did for Easter (Italians
don't really do much is what we found) but we met some cool people the have
some potential I think. We also met this super super fancy guy with a
blue suit and a red flower and a red tie and pocket square and gold bracelets
and a Rolex and this ring the was just covered in diamonds and a big jewelry I
the center. It would have been cool but he totally just flirted hard with one
of the sisters and asked if he could have a kiss and all this random stuff and
the sister obviously said no and then he eventually just went away. To make all
of this even better this guy is like 80 so we were all just laughing as he was
talking. (also imagine all of this but in Italian, it just makes it
better)
Then for Pday we went
to the beach for the last time (since we can't go to the beach between April
and October conferences as a general rule) and we played some cool games and
tried to have a picnic but we forgot a blanket so we ate over the sand and the
wind just blew it into all the food so we all had sand covered sandwiches and
juice. Also all morning Anz Parkinson and I had on roller skates from the
Pescara house and rolled everywhere. It was not only more fun and we never fell
down but it was also a great finding tool we got a couple of cool conversations
out of it.
