A Trip to Palermo for Zone/Stake Conference

Hey friends!

So we had a very busy week filled with a lot of traveling. We were
basically only in Sciacca for two days. But none the less it was a
very good and uplifting week.

We went to Palermo twice this week, once for Zone Conference (for
missionaries) and the other for Stake Conference (for all members) and
they were both pretty cool. Stake conference entails all the members
of Sicily so everyone came down to Palermo on Sunday for the
conference. Obviously the churches here aren't built to hold that many
people so we had the conference at this hotel in Palermo. We had a
member from the 70 (Church leader over European area) come and meet
with us too. He didn't speak Italian though so me and another
missionary had the (intimidating) opportunity to translate for him at
both the conference Sunday and another one that took place Saturday
evening. It went alright.

We also went to Palermo for Zone conference this week which was on
Thursday. Honestly I went into it with a not so good attitude but I
was humbled and learned a few new things. One thing I realized is that
it doesn't matter if we are hearing the same general speech for the
5th time. You can still learn something you didn't know before. I had
forgotten that and was reminded of it this past week.

Also because of the fact that we were in Palermo so much this week I
got to see a bunch of old friends from my time wayyyyy back when I was
in Bagheria. It was cool because I was scared they weren't going to
remember me but they did so we like that. They also fed me some good
food which was still just as good as I remember so we won't complain
there :)

Other than that things are going good here in Sciacca. It's getting
hot out which really isn't news to state the obvious but summer
weather is always beautiful. There are a lot more tourists here than I
thought there would be which is surprising because you can see
everything you need to in Sciacca in less than a day haha. I'm happy
though. Like I said we were able to stay pretty busy this past week
here in Sciacca and I hope it stays the same for this upcoming week.

Finally transfer calls came this past week and me and my companion
will be staying here in Sciacca for another 6 weeks. I'm pretty pumped
because me and Anz. Whitaker get along really good so I won't complain
about my time with him.

Anyways have a good week everyone, love you tons. Stay safe. Ciao ciao
