A Transfer to Catanzaro

It was a good week out here in Pescara! We had a couple scambi

(exchanges) with other missionaries so that was pretty cool. After

district meeting on Tuesday the missionaries from Ascoli stayed and we

did a scambio with them. It went really well, that evening consisted

of a lot of house finding and then going to English course. So you

could say it was pretty exciting. The next morning, we went downtown

and went to this huge piazza and did a "gesso" which is where we lay a

bed sheet down and write something on it. People come and look at it

and we talk to them about it. So we did that for a couple hours

talking about English Course. The police soon came over to investigate

all the trouble we were causing. I guess he had nothing better to do

than investigate 4 Mormon boys spreading love ha-ha. Swag.

After Ascoli left the zone leaders came down from Terni (another city

in Italy) and we did a scambio with them. It also consisted of some

finding but we did meet up with this guy, Angelo, who wants to learn

English but can't come to our English course so we were like "yo, we

gunna come over to your house and teach ya English but only if we can

share the gospel too" he was like "I'm down" so we went and taught him

English and the gospel. It was swag. We ended up going to see him again

Saturday and it went really well but the cool part came after when he

gave us a ride to where we needed to go. He loves jamming out to Lady

Gaga hahaha.... Italians. Also Lady Gaga throws down some good beats.

In other news, transfer calls came this week and I barely made it here

to Pescara and I'm already getting transferred out. My new city is

going to be Catanzaro. It's in southern Italy. Like near the end of

the boot but not quite at the end. The city is small and it's a branch

in the only district in Italy so lots of members there. It should be

swag though cuz I'll be there for Christmas. People have been

telling me that missionaries eat real good down there and the food is

spicy apparently so I like that. I'm a lil sad to be leaving Pescara

but what I've realized is that as soon as a missionary says he is

leaving the city every single member now has every night, afternoon,

and morning free for the missionaries to come over..... What? Ha-ha,

anyways, I'm pumped for my new city and I'm sure good things will

happen down there.

Lastly this upcoming week on December 10 I hit my one-year mark as a

missionary which is crazy. I have some mixed feelings. On one side

it's like bruh I barely got to Italy and I'm going to be going home in

like 2 seconds. On the other hand, I'm like "........bruh a whole other

year. Wow, I'm sure it will go by fast though. Anyways love ya all.

May the force be with you. Peace

P.S. So we come to Rome today to play soccer with the zone. There are
