My 20th Birthday and Leaving Sciacca

Ciao Tutti,

This week was weirdly long. We had so many things to do and it seemed

like every day was so full of stuff and yet the week went by slow.

Weird. Anyways let's talk about it.

So I left Sciacca on Wednesday. Saw a bunch of people and said bye to

Them. It was sad but it was okay in the end. So Wednesday we got up at

like 5:30 and went to get a bus (1.5hr bus ride) to go to Palermo

which was followed by a train trip (9hr) to Napoli. We stayed the

night there and ate some wayyyyyy good pizza. It's the place where

pizza was invented so it's good. Then we stayed the night there.

Thursday morning, we got on a train to Caserta (50min) and then another

train to Foggia (1.5 her ride) and then me and my new comp finally

made it to our new city.

So Foggia is a pretty cool city. It's not super big but not super

small either. It's medium. We have a really nice church building that

stands all by itself. Honestly I don't know much about the city. It's

cleaner than Sicily so that's cool. Also the weather has been very

cool. Saturday it got down to 50 which was weird. But after the heat

in Sciacca, I won't complain.

My new comps name is Anziano Jensen. He's from Connecticut. He's been

in the mission like 3 months less than I have and we get along really

well. I really like the guy. We both crack sarcastic jokes all the

time so I think we will get along just fine. Also he's 21. He looks

older though.

My birthday was yesterday!!! I'm 20 now. It wasn't a bad

birthday but it didn't really feel like a birthday. Nobody in church

knows me so it's not like a huge party was thrown for me. It was just

kinda peaceful and we did missionary work. Wasn't bad haha but thanks

for those who sent the birthday wishes cuz I really did appreciate

them. Also today I bought of a pair of birthday shoes for €25. Even on

my birthday I find the good deal.

Anyways, I'm really happy for this next chapter of my mission to start.

I'm feeling really good about it and it should be a good one. I love

you all and hope you have a great week. Ciao ciao
