venire a Cristo: Transfer to Rome 6

So the trip to Rome was long. Like 12 hours. But on the way we got Napoli pizza which is where pizza was invented so it's literally the best pizza in the world and I almost died eating it. So good. Idk what my address is. I'm close to the mission home. My church building is literally the same as the mission office so that's neat. I'm like a 15 min bus ride to the temple. Idk when the temple will be done. My new companion speaks very good English and he makes me laugh all the time. I love him so much! I hope that answers your onslaught of questions. Haha!

So this week was kinda crazy. Had to say all my goodbyes to the people back in Bagheria and stuff. Packed up and hopped on the train for the long ride up to Rome. We made it. My companion is Anziano Castillo and he is from the Philippines and he is super cool! We laugh wayyyyyy to much. It's like my abs workout ha-ha. The part of the city where our house is, is on the north part of the city and it’s so nice! There are a ton of parks and piazzas and stuff. A lot of green everywhere which is so crazy for a big city. Also the culture here is so different than Sicily but it’s way cool! I love it up here and it's so fun. My birthday is in a couple days so that's weird. Probably won’t do anything super special. Probably just will do the same thing I do every day. Swag. Idk I'm happy. It's going to be 98 tomorrow. 100 the next two days after and then 102 after that so I'll just die here this next week but we will see. The nice thing about Rome is, is that everywhere they just have these fountains of water that just runs everywhere and it's all clean and drinkable and I love it. It's usually pretty cold too so that sweet. Anyways that's pretty much it. I love you all!!
