Transferring to Foggia

Hello,

Well transfers calls came this week and me and my comp have been
"blown-out" of Sciacca. Meaning both of us are being transferred at
the same time and two new missionaries are coming in. I'm taking my
talents to the great city of Foggia. It's like in the "Achilles Heel"
area of Italy. Idk how else to describe where it is. Then my comp is
going to Reggio Calabria which is the end of the toe of Italy. So
that's pretty interesting. We weren't expecting that both of us would
be transferred but "my ways are not your ways."

Nothing super exciting happened in Sciacca this week I would say. It
was one of those "put your shoulder to the wheel" kinda weeks here in
Sciacca and at the end of the week we definitely saw the blessings.
The missionaries from Palermo came to do an exchange with us to see
how we were doing. All in all we had a good time and I definitely
learned some new things from the experience.

As my time in Sciacca here comes to a surprising close I've been able
to look back and see a big change in myself (in a good way) during my
time here. The Lord knew that I definitely had some things to learn
and that a lot of it needed to come through hard work. I guess I was
able to learn what I needed to, to prepare me for my next city. I'm
sad to leave Sciacca but like always I'm excited for the new
adventures that lie ahead. In case you're wondering this city, Foggia,
may be my final city here in the great Italy Rome mission. I won't say
anything for sure though because then I will jinx it. Haha

Today for PDAY we’re going to go revisit one of my favorite places in
Italy. We are taking a quick bus ride out to the beautiful city of
Trapani and then taking the boat out to the even more beautiful
Favignana. It's a small island right off the north western tip of
Sicily. It should be a good time. Love you all :)
