Travels to get "Permesso di Soggiorno"

Dear friends and family,

This week was pretty full. It involved a lot of traveling, a lot of

eating, and a lot of traveling. The beginning of the week was

business as usual. We had PDAY, we had our weekly Tuesday meetings,

Wednesday we went to go see friends, members, and do other missionary

things. Thursday is where it all kinda changed.

So here in Italy we have to have this thing called "Permesso di

Soggiorno" which is our permission of stay from the State of Italy. So

it's like the Italian green card. You get one for one year and so

after a year you have to do a new one. Well my companion needed a new

one. So, 5 months ago in Bari he started the renewal process. During the

process you have to get fingerprints and so they give you an

appointment to get said fingerprints. His appointment was the 22 of

April. The only problem is, is that you have to go back to the place

where you started this process. So, we had to go back to Bari. The trip

there took forever. Like the whole day. We ended up taking 4 different

trains and a bus. But we made it.

While in Bari we went to this neighboring city called Bitonto where my

companion had previously served. We went so he could see old friends

and stuff, it was a good time. We saw a lot of people and I met a ton

of new people. Friday we went to go get the permesso but there were a

lot of problems (not our fault). So, after 2 hours they sent all the

info to Catanzaro. Now he will have to continue his green card

process there. Swag. Friday for lunch we went to this Chinese buffet

and boy did I eat a lot of food. Then that night for dinner we went to

this family’s house and they made a LOT of food. I've seriously never

eaten so much food in a day in my entire life but it was so good. Then

Saturday we came home. That's what we did this week haha

In other news, transfer calls came this week. Unfortunately, I'm

leaving Catanzaro and I'm going to this small city in southern Italy

called "Sciacca." They say it's really beautiful and I believe them.

I'm super excited to go back to Sicily and I'll also have the

opportunity to stop in Palermo to see old friends. So that's exciting.

My new companion is Anz. Whitaker (spelling?) and yeah. I'm excited to

get fat eating a lot of delicious gelato and Arancini and Canoli. Ha-ha

Should be a good time.

Anyways, love you and have a great week :)
