venire a Cristo: Bagheria - The Work is Picking Up!

Here is Zach's response to some questions I asked him in my most recent letter. He was attempting to write in some sort of Old English. I was laughing so hard!

So, in a coordinating response to the above email that was received 10 hours ago, I am doing well. I feel great happiness for the family that has been aforementioned in the above email. Verily, I say unto you, I am doing many things of great worth and of my own free will and choice in Bagheria. The length of my stay here at this moment is unknown. Hence, an educated guess would bring me to the conclusion that I will be here for the end of the current transfer and 2 more. The before mentioned transfers are of the length of 6 weeks. Today we are commencing with week 5 of this before mentioned transfer....

Okay, that’s too hard, I’m done. I was trying to write in like a formal or smart sounding kind of way but it was too hard cuz I’m dumb. Anyways.

When Zach refers to the family learning responsibility, this was in response to Joe being gone for 2 weeks and the kids all helping out to cook, clean, etc.

Sounds like the family is doing well! It’s good to hear that y’all are finally learning responsibility ;) jk, lol. I love you all. But it’s so nice to hear that even though I’m gone you can survive without me, which is really nice to hear! I hope you can understand all the stuff I said in the first paragraph because I don’t want to try to explain it so good luck!!! But things here in Bagheria are going great! Every week we get more and more work and we get more and more done and we have less finding which is always nice. (Not that I don’t love finding but lessons are better tbh) I’m super excited for the future here! I’ve really come to learn to love the people here. The culture here is obviously really different than in America. So, it’s been tough to adjust to the way people think, because they think different than us and I get frustrated with them. But, it’s okay! I’m really learning to love the people here. We have been doing more service and all that good stuff so that’s really helped a lot!

It still rains here which is lame. I lost my umbrella, also lame. But, it’s okay, maybe someone else needed that umbrella more than I did.

I have been talking to Derrick. We email each other every week! It’s so fun and he makes me laugh all the time. I love him though and he is doing some awesome work in AZ.

Well, that’s pretty much it for now! I hope I answered all you questions! Thanks so much for all your love and support and your prayers! They mean a lot! And keep sending the world news updates! They are way nice to read! I love you all so much and hope you have an awesome week! Let me know how the swimmers are doing too! Love y’all!

Peace Out,

Okay, so the sandwich is called "panino di bomba" which means "the bomb sandwich". The word bomb does not mean like "da bomb" but like the explosive bomb because... look at it. You buy it at this food truck in the middle of nowhere. Only guys eat here because this sandwich is a true man’s meal. It’s this huge bun with sausage, chicken, beef, lettuce, tomato, and this delicious red sauce. Its soo good and the best part is that it’s only 3 euro. So, it’s like the perfect meal!
