Ciao tutti!!!!
I really don't know how to start this email.... this has been the most adventurous crazy action pack week of my life... every minute something happened that i never expected... first off to start off the week I've seen over several dead cats in very random places... one was in a plastic bag on the bus next to the guy i was sitting next too... ill never get the smell out of my nostrils.. and then we also saw a porta potty on fire (that was self expanatory)
ok so first off I LOVE SICILY!!! its so crazy and SOOOOO beautiful!!! the people here are crazy and the island is like paradise!!! from our apartment you can see the see with all the sail boats on it and on the other side of the house you can see mount etna (the volcano) which is super cool cause at night sometimes its red cause the lava is coming down. its a super active volcano and its going off constantly (sorella stephens said that a couple of weeks ago it shuck the house haha) the only bad part about it is that its always kind of smoky/foggy. but its still BEAUTIFULL!! oh AND THE FRUITS AND VEGGIES ARE TO DIE FOR!!! do you know the mafia actually sells the dirt from sicily so that people can grow veggies and fruits like they have here. the other day i had a bag of tomatoes and i ate all of them like candy!!!
Second the people here are SOO open so they always listen to us!!! its great ive never seen anything like it on my mission!!!! we've met the coolest people this week!!!
Ok one of the coolest moments of my mission (when i walked away i thought thats the reason I'm here) (not like here in sicily but just in general. like moments like that make the mission worth it!) So last night were going to go finding and i felt like i should ask sorella stephen were to go and she tells us to go to this one zone that is right on the sea. so we are down there and we run into this family who is sitting on the bench just staring at the ocean. and we ask them if we can ask them a couple of questions on happiness cause we are doing a "survey" and they begin to tell us how a member of there family had died just a couple of days ago and the mom started crying and we sat down with them and read Alma 40. we talked about the plan of salvation and they were all just crying and saying thank you and how jesus and god were looking out for them by sending us to comfort them it was such a cool moment!!! THEN THEY GAVE US A SNICKERS BAR!! not that important but i cant describe how amazing it is to help someone like that and to know that you were led by god to find them. anyway we have a return appointment and want us over for dinner!! super cute!
OH so funny story!!!! so i was going to name this email rodents of unusual size.... they exist!!! because the other day me and sorella cano were picking blackberries on the side of the road and eating them cause they were so yummy and then we saw this HUGE thing!!! it was either a cat with no tail, a rabbit or a rodent of unusual size! and then it ended up with the two of us running with hands full of berries screaming at the top of our lungs. hahah good times.. good times
So interesting fact... when you train someone you do this twelve week program with them and it involves like training videos.... well the only languages available are english and spanish so... I'm training my greenie in spanish hahah al least she understands it.
this week i bought fifteen dollars worth of cerial cause its to hot outside to eat anything else
i got purposed to three times this week
... i think that is it...
Anyway love you guys!!! thanks to everyone who wrote me this week! i got a crazy amount of emails so if you don't get an email today I'm sorry! i cant wait to see you guys in two months! MWAHHH
