A Baptism in the Ocean

Dear Fam,

 I felt like this week we were super busy doing a lotta good stuff so
even though at the end of the week me and Eldridge were tired we both
felt real good about everything that we had done.

This week we went and helped a member and her 2 kids move into a new
house. It took a long time and a lot of hard work on their part. Lots
of prayers and fasting but we got them a new house finally so we
helped them move in. Basically everyone cleaned the house while me and
my comp brought all the stuff up 2 floors to get it to them ha-ha. It
was a good time.

What else. We also had a Karaoke Night this week in church. I mean it was
real good. We had a ton of people from English course and just a ton
of people not from our branch come. Me and Eldridge sang a little bit.
People still liked us afterwards so we didn't suck THAT bad. Ha-ha. But
it was a good time. Idk why but Italians love Karaoke. I honestly
can't tell you why but if they wanna do an activity in church the
go-to idea is Karaoke. It's fun tho, I laughed a lot.

Also Saturday morning we had a service activity in church. We made
little rescue kits for people who are in 3rd world countries and
stuff. Basically we made a big assembly line and sorted out towels,
toothbrushes, toothpaste, and other sanitary items in these bags. The
branch did a little over 800 in total so it was fun. It definitely
reminded me of the days when I worked in the factory.

Last but not least we went to a baptism in Crotone this week. Usually
we don't go but they asked me to be a testimony (guy who makes sure
the person getting baptized goes all the way under the water) for the
baptism. The cool part of the baptism was that we did it in the ocean.
The less good part was that it's still March so it's cold and the sand
tuned into big fat rocks once you walked into the water. But even
though it wasn't the most pleasant experience it was still amazing. I
felt super lucky to have the opportunity to just go to the baptism.
All in all it was a great day and a great week.

So we thought transfer calls were last week but President had to
change some stuff so now they are this week I think. Anyways me and
Eldridge are definitely hoping to stay here in Cat City cuz we got a
lot more work to do! Anyways love you all and have a good week!!
