Howdy doo family poo.
The week started off with transfers
which went along smoothly. Except the APs called us at like 8 o clock that
night asking where the Elders were that we sent off the bus about 8 hours
before. I guess they never showed up to where the APs were going to meet them
that night. Never found out what happened to them. Hopefully they are alright.
Hmm.
During transfers we had a bunch of
people staying with us in Messina because it is a central point entering
Sicily. I like transfers because you get to see missionaries from all around
the mission. Because it was P Day we were able to go to a really fancy Pizza
Place which was pretty good! Pizza here is super cheap. It is about 4 euros for
about a meal and half. My favorite kind of pizza here is called Diavola (Devil).
It is really spicy and has little bits ‘o ham on it.

We were able to go out to Pizza
again this week with two guys who have been coming to English Class for years.
Their names are Giovanni and Domico. They are really cool. They are moving to
Ireland next week and wanted to take us out to Pizza and to thank us for
teaching them English. We played soccer with them the other day and they love
doing things with the missionaries but not really interested in the Church. But
we still like them. They are moving to a smaller city near Belfast. I want to
find out where Ryan Lever or his old, Italian Companion are--serving maybe we
could give him a referral of some people to teach?
We went tracting with our friend
Dayan a few days ago (He is Sri Lankan), and we went tracting up in the Sri
Lankan part of town. It is crazy how differently people treat you when you have
a Sri Lankan next to you. 100% different! We were able to talk to a lot of
people and we got an investigator named Budika. He is funny and came to church
(The first investigator I have seen come to church!). He speaks English a
little and tonight we have an appointment with him at a Sri Lankan family’s
house. I hope it turns into a dinner appointment because the Sri Lankans cook
good stuff.

A missionary couple came from Bari on
Sunday and gave a seminar on Family History. It was like 3 hours and super
interesting. Have we done any family history? Because it is cool. The new familysearch.org site
is way nice and all the Vecchi (The Olds. That is how you say it in Italian.
Same as friends if what Ty said is true.) want to start doing indexing.
That just about sums up the week.
Oh! We got a sweet Johnny Cash Gospel CD from the APs this week. We listen to
it when we work out and make our muscles bigger. It reminds me of that trip up
to Jackson and listened to the Cash for hours while Dad just pleaded for us to
change CDs. But we didn’t let him, did we Ma? We just kept on listening!
