There is a lot to cover in this email,
so I'm just going to breeze through it all and hope that it all makes sense 😁😁
Pizzas eaten: 59
Gelati: 46
Books of Mormon: 96
This whole week was just nuts, and I
have about ten days to cover because of an offset preparation day. So, I shall
begin with Monday the 16th and go forward from there.
Monday: volleyball at the temple with
the Zone was appreciated and many a ball were spiked. I was doing a lot of
spiking, and that's thanks to a very small and short net that we use. I can see
over the top of it without needing to stand on my toes, so it was a literal
breeze to raise my hand and crush any hopes of victory fire the other team. We
don't keep score, but it was a fun amount of competition. I discovered that
Anziano Smartt used to skateboard and we enjoyed a wonderful cannolo together.
Tuesday: Nothing spectacular occurred,
we had district council and then ate some dolce afterwards before we dealt with
technology issues almost the whole time after that thanks to a sim card that
didn't want to give us data for some reason. We figured that out and did some
finding, nothing to crazy.
Wednesday: We went finding and I handed
out a Book of Mormon to a wonderful woman who is a stay at home nurse for an
old man that is up there in years and experience. Anziano Taylor recited the
first vision to him and the old man interrupted him and told us to watch
because "there is light" and so we did just that.
Thursday: we helped the area 70 move
houses and he bought us lunch. We spent the day doing that and then we went and
taught English course. I have some photos of how Italy is too small for me, and
those will be attached to this email.
Friday : Busy day, we spent the whole
morning finding and we didn't have a whole lot of success. But, we did have a
lesson with our guy who wants to be baptized even though it was unplanned and
he just told us that he was on the way to the church. So, we ran that direction
and we taught him for a while and then proceeded to do more finding with a little
more success.
Saturday: We made mini cheesecakes and
enjoyed a wonderful family night at the church where all the members played
American games with us like musical chairs and telephone. They thought it was
super fun, and we had a blast all throughout 😊
Sunday: The single biggest group of
members that we had show up in one day ever. Almost all of them were tourists,
and we ran out of translation devices. We have almost 130 of these, and we were
out with 20 people needing translation, so we all spread out and translated to
those in need. It was fun, and definently worth remembering.
Monday: Permesso travel! I had to travel
two hours to wait for three hours to do a task that took 6 minutes, just so we
could travel back for another two hours. I have to go back in a few months for
my second Permesso, so that should be super fun.
Tuesday: My companion fell ill and we
were unable to leave the house after lunch, but we were able to reschedule our
appointment with a wonderful older man with interest because he is a school
teacher so he understands when someone can't meet due to a stomach bug out of
the blue.
Wednesday: we spent the morning handing
out English course cards on a bus while I was wearing a white board around my
neck with the translated words "Free English course" while we handed
them to people. We blew through 250 of these in about two hours and then we had
lunch and weekly planning because of the week we've had so far.
Today! We have a session at the temple in
about an hour so until then, we've been traveling and just hanging out at the
visitors center so we can talk to tourists and other things like that. If you
have any questions, let me know what they are and I'll attempt to answer them 😁😁
