A Week Full of Travel

Greetings Fam,

Well we did a lot of traveling this week. We traveled between Palermo,

Agrigento, and Caltanisetta. We spent a combined 8 hours on busses and

2 on a train. It was a good time. Really tiring and I had a headache

afterwards but after it was all said and done it was good.

So we did an exchange on Wednesday with the missionaries in Agrigento.

I had a good time. We had food fed to us. Hot dog and French fry

sandwich with mayo and ketchup on it. An Italian classic. I'm not

kidding. It's way good though. Then Thursday we travelled basically to

the center of Sicily to Caltanisetta. It was cold enough there to

where I wanted a jacket and it rained a lot. I don't think anyone was

expecting that kind of weather but, it's whatever. Then we came home to

Sciacca. Of all the places we visit or basically of all the places in

the mission I'm convinced that Sciacca is the hottest and most humid

of them all. I think I've said that three weeks in a row but it's

true.

So something new and interesting happened this week. We had a funeral

service in church on Sunday. We did Sacrament meeting (mass) earlier

than normal to accommodate for the service that followed. The funeral

was for one of Sciacca's ex-branch presidents. He was the only member

of our church in his family so as you can guess there were a lot of

people at the funeral who are not members of our church. Then our branch

president asked me to give a talk on the "Plan of Salvation" and it

went pretty well. All in all, it was a way spiritual meeting and even

though there was a difference in beliefs we were able to rejoice

together in the firm belief of life after death. Afterwards we went to

the cemetery and for all the time that I've been in Italy I've never

been to a cemetery. So it was a cool experience.

In other news. We get a new mission president tomorrow so that should

be interesting. This next week we get to go to Catania. It's the

second biggest city in Sicily. I've never been there, so I'm way

excited to go. Should be a good time. Hopefully I can remember to take

pictures. We will see.

Today for PDAY we made pizza. It was the best ever. Definitely not

the worst pizza I've had in Italy though. It was fun :) Anyways, hope

everyone had a good week! Keep it real guys! Love ya
