So many Friends!


I feel like when I write these emails I'm supposed to write some crazy
news about some mind blowing thing that happened this week or some
huge miracle or something like that. Like every week has to be the
best most interesting week ever. I can't really say that for this past
week. This past week was very normal. Nothing super horrible happened
but nothing like super mind blowing either. It felt like one of those
"same-old same-old" type weeks.

One of the best parts about being a missionary here in Catanzaro is
all the friends we have here. Lemme explain. So appropriately
missionaries usually carry a very formal relationship between people
they meet and know in each city. It's a really good and important
thing but sometimes the idea of "friends" is lost. So one thing me and
my comp have been trying to do is just be friends with everyone we
know. It's working out really good. So I guess that's why this week
went pretty normal. We just went and saw a bunch of our friends and
taught them the good word of Christ.

We have been doing a lot of English teaching as well. Other than the
class we hold twice a week to teach people English we have been doing
many different private lessons. We have like 3 or 4 different people
that we meet on a weekly basis to teach them English. It's actually
way cool. Sometimes it gets super annoying but deep down I love it. I
mean we help these guys learn and grow and then at the end we give
them a nice dose of the word of God and lift them up spiritually.
Honestly it's one of the most rewarding things I've ever done. So I
won't complain.

In other news the weather is starting to warm up. Which is good and it
makes me happy but I know once summer comes around I'll complain all
day long about the heat. It's like drinking a sweet poison, at first
you're like it but a little while later you're sweating in an
inescapable heat and ya feel like you're dying. It's tough but eh what
can ya do. Anyways life is good. Calabria is still beautiful. And
March in Italy is filled with a lot less madness ;) I hope all your
brackets are doing well. Love you all and have a great week.
