So transfers came at the beginning of this last week and I got transfered down the bottom of the foot of Italy in the area of Calabria, the name of my city is Catanzaro hence "cat city". This place is actually really cool and it has some of the best stuff like a great apartment and friends at a pizzeria and stuff it is a little harder work but the harder the work the more satisfying it is for us here, also the bases are completely unreliable but it works our patience. 

I have been enjoying this area and my new companion (yet another) Anziano Haws except this one is from Utah. He is great and also one transfer younger than me, so this is my first time being the senior comp. it really doesn't mean anything especially since he is only one behind me so its just fun because we are basically on the same level in most things. 

Also my mother in the mission died, Sorella Calió, she was the oldest Sorella in my district when I was "born" in the mission so yeah she is cool. 

Before I left I got to say good bye to a bunch of members and it was really nice to be able to see all of them and sad I'm leaving but I'll see most of them again probably. 

We had a good first week in this city doing finding and waiting for busses and we found some cool young people we hope to meet with again this next Thursday so we are super excited! 

For P-day we went over to Crotone, a nearby city, and saw a castle over there which was pretty neat. There was a tunnel that just kept going in complete darkness and it was just so awesome! We also toured a few of the churches here just because when your in Italy and you want to see something interesting there is a church on most corners. District photo and others of the castle
