Guess who is back!
I am! After 6 months I am back in the field, thinking that it has been 6 months is just crazy! So I have now been here in Pozzuoli for about 4 days now, and I am in love with it! It is an incredible area in just about every way imaginable. We don't have a lot of work right now, but that will change very quickly because there is a ton of potential here!
So last Tuesday the Italian greenies got in, so we got to pick them up from the airport and then do scambi with them that evening, it is super fun because they have no idea what to do or say, but just want to get out and get work done! Wednesday is when the American greenies came in, and that was also fun, they are always just so tired. haha And in the midst of all this mess, I had to get myself ready to go and all packed.
So Thursday morning I headed down to Napoli on a train. When I got there the Anziani weren't there to pick me up, so I hung out by myself for a while, it was weird. Then they got there and we grabbed the worlds best pizza, then headed home. The last couple of days we have been doing a lot of finding, and my companion is only in his 2nd transfer and is one of the 18 year old anziani.
Our members are super awesome here and there are even a ton of American members, so I will continue to get sweet stuff from the American base! Our church overlooks the ocean and it is incredible. Our area is HUGE and Saturday we went out to teach a lesson and it was 1 hour and 45 min away! But it was super awesome.
And since the ward has a lot of Americans that speak no Italian, everything is church is translated! So yesterday when we got to church before anyone introduced themselves they said "good! your here! you can translate now!" And it is crazy because you literally translate every word said! It really fries your brain! haha
And last is our miracle for the week. We were walking back from church yesterday night, and a car stopped us and asked if we could translate some stuff for him (which happens a lot) so I told him to come to English course. And then he said "Do you know who I am?" And so I replied, no. And so we talked for a few minutes and he offered us a ride home, and so we accepted. Turns out he is a less active member that about 10 years ago was the branch mission leader!! Crazy, so we have an appointment with him this week and I am super excited to get to work with him! I love being a missionary! I love yall a ton, sorry no pictures this week, forgot my camera.
love,
Anziano Bird
