Hey Fam,
Another busy week done
here in Foggia. It was a good one though.
I learned a little about
holding back anger this week. In retrospect it wasn't that big of a deal but in
the moment I was very peeved. So here's the story. We went to go visit a less
active member of the church. Now this kind lady has two dogs, one of them was a
stray she picked up. The dogs are great but seeing as they are dogs who live in
an apartment they have a lot of energy. So while I'm trying to talk to this
lady I have two dogs barking, jumping all over me, and in general trying to
play with me and I wasn't really in the mood. Finally, the dog chills out and
lays down by my feet (bad sign). So we start sharing a spiritual thought and
then I feel the dog moving but I don't think anything of it until I realize
what's going on. I look down and see the dog has gnawed the strap of my
backpack in half. Swag. So I pick my backpack up and everyone there apologizes.
I play it cool like it's no big deal but on the inside I kinda wanted to kick
the dog in the face. I didn't though. So after this I try and finish the
spiritual thought but I can't because of my anger towards this dog. In the end
though everything worked out. I tried to super glue my strap back together but
I realized that backpack straps when mixed with superglue burn..... so that
wasn't good. But then a nice sister missionary took pity on my and sewed my bag
back up. So in the end, my bag got fixed and I learned a nice lesson about not
worrying about the little things so much. In the moment it seemed like the
worst thing in the world but in the end it all worked out.
So besides the backpack incident
this week went really well. It rained a lot less. We were able to meet with a
lot more people and do some more teaching. Me and my companion are getting
along great and having a good time here. We have transfer calls one week from
today and then after that I will start my last transfer. Only 50 more days left
as a missionary. That's weird. Hopefully I can stay here in Foggia and make the
best of it.
Today for PDAY we didn't
do anything crazy. We went to this city called Manfredonia and just looked
around. Nothing big happening. I'll attach a few pics. Anyways, life is good.
God is good. I'm happy. It might rain today. I guess we will see what happens.
Love you all.
