Ciao tutti!!!
So… I'm in foggia!! It's very different from Sassari and I miss Sassari A TON!!!!! Im just going to square my shoulders and work my butt off here in Foggia though!!! Also I got it wrong, Foggia is on the adriatic sea and its like the ankle, not the heel. hahah. So first, on Wednesday morning our district distretto dropped us off at the train station and we said goodbye to everyone then Elder Birberg his companion and Sister Knudsen and I traveled four hours down to Cagliari where Elder Birberg took a boat and all my luggage to Rome and the next day I took a plane... BY MYSELF!!! It was so weird being all alone!!! Then I got to rome and saw all the new kids going up to Sassai!!! So jealous!!! Then I went with the assistants to the mission office... This is just an apostate day all around so be prepared... so first off flew by myself.. did a tj scambi with the assistants .... when you do a scambi with an elder or sister.. then after the office they sent me and Birberg down to Foggia on a train so we were companions for the whole day?? hahahah! We had lots of fun though…we did origami and played games... Then we got to Foggia. My new companion is Sorella Baker. She is from Idaho Falls, she has a really cute family. We are the same age in the mission and we are also both 20. Ummm... she is awesome.
Foggia is huge. Twice as big or even three times as big as Sassari. It doesn't really look like Italy because during world war 2 Foggia was actually bombed and so it destroyed the oldness of the city. So everything is like from the 40s. Our apartment is HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! like GINORMOUS!!!!! Seriously though, it's HUGE!!! we have a bedroom, a kitchen, a study room, a hall way and a nice little entrance room. On top of that we have this HUGE spare bedroom and it has balconies... its just huge!!! However it is SUPER old!!! There are ugly chandeliers and gross wallpaper.. oh and cockroaches. Also they didn't have any sheets and I left mine in Sassari so.... I'm really hoping to go to a chinese store and get some.
The ward is awesome and huge!!! The work seems to be really good here. I already love some of the members and investigators, but its hard knowing that the same thing is going to happen to me like Sassari and one day i'll just have to say goodbye to all the people I love.... ma la missione cosi. Thats the mission though.
Our bishop is awesome!!! He met his wife and she converted him... they are in there early 30s i'd guess.. super young and super cute, way awesome.
Also mom I got the Valentines package you sent and I was soooooooo happy!!!!! I love the pictures!!!! Thats probably the best package ever!! Just to get a bunch of pics!!! Also, I finally finished off all the turkish delight you sent me!! Elder Birberg and I ate it on our train.
well thats about it.... I'm still super sad, this week has definitely been filled with tears and I'm still trying to move on.
I love you all so much and I want you all to know how much I love our Lord Gesu Christ. I'm so thankful for everything he has done for us so that we can overcome anything in this life. I'm thankful for his example of love so that we can learn how to love others. I'm just.... AHHH SO THANKFUL!!! I'm sorry I can never really express myself well. All I can say is... I LOVE JESUS and THE CHURCH IS TRUE!!!
con tutto il mio cuore
Sorella Felice
