Our week was great we
got to meet with a part member family and play basketball on a patio thing that
I could touch both walls at the same time and I could touch the ceiling senza
jumping so it was hard but it worked with the younger kids there, also he has a
music room and I got to play the bass, and the piano, and the drum set that was
in there and that was just fun, then we gave a good spiritual thought and we
were able to just talk about the book of Mormon and such for a while which was
really nice, especially with the younger ones in this case too.
After DDM we had the
awesome opportunity to eat with Sorella Francom (one mt teachers at the MTC)
and a few of her friends that are here for a while. We ate and talked and
shared stories, it was really cool for us (everyone here that she has taught)
and I hope it was cool for all of them too.
So, we also had on
Sunday a huge surprise, we are used to about 20ish people in church maybe a few
tourists, but when we walked in it was packed, we set up extra chairs and all
this stuff.
What happened that
caused this great crowd you may ask, BYU study abroad students, about 20 of
them not including professors. It was actually really cool to talk to a bunch
of Americans again and see there take on Italy as tourists. And lo and behold
another surprise, I actually went to school with, one Sara Summerhays who
was there and I got see her again. Shout out to Elder Morrell for also being in
both of those classes too.
I got to talk to my
family over Skype which was, as always, awesome
Then was Zone
conference which as always is great, we talked about being excited for the work
but not being overly anxious about any problem or about how long we have left
and to just lower our stress levels to a comfortable zone and do our best to
stay like that.
Today for Pday we went
to a castle of Saint Elmo and got to see some great views off of that and Yah
that was about it.
You are all awesome
have the most amazing weeks!!

OK so I can't remember much
that happened before Thursday besides a lot of hype for transfers and
stuff getting things in order and whatnot, but we still got work down so it was
good.
I got transferred to a
city called Castellammare which is a really beautiful city just south of Napoli
(Naples ) and on the coast, next to Vesuvius, and Pompeii. We are going to have
some great times and I'll probably have a lot of really cool pictures.
At Castellammare and
just the Napoli area in general you can't drink the water out of the tap but
they have random spickets of drinking water randomly around town so it's
cool.
I got to meet the
branch on Sunday and that was really fun, they have some really cool
members here and I can't wait to get to know them better it will be
great!! Also at an appointment one of the kids asked me to draw with him
and I asked him what to draw and he said Goku, so I did my best.
This Pday we were able
to go to Napoli and I got to see Anziani Wiggins and Daniels, and bunch of
other Anziani I haven't seen for a while that are serving here right now, so
that was super fun. We went to this place called Sotterranea which is this
underground city aqueduct thing that was also used as a bomb shelter and all
this stuff, for a part of the way we used candles to light the way so it just
made it that much cooler. We went through some tunnels that were only about
50cm wide with ceilings 7 meters high to only a meter and a half, it was crazy!
We also ate at one of
the best places in the world to get pizza, Sorbillo, it was one of the most
liquid pizzas ever but it was amazing, just like all the stories and legends I
heard while I was up north.
Lastly I just want to
say something small about the light of Christ. This is an influence that
affects everyone and if we let our light shine we can help others to see the
way and also help them to find their own light and make the world just a better
place for everyone.
You are all awesome!!
If anything crazy in your lives happen just let me know!
