I am getting back on my normal schedule of writing every
week. But I have more news that’s a bit shocking for me and certainly will be
for you all. That and I am going to do
the top ten countdown again cause it makes writing more entertaining.
#10 – We went to Taranto again to do splits. 10 hours on the trains and buses trying to
get there. Other than that I had fun and
ate some really good food.
#9 – We had transfer calls on Saturday. Even though we spent
most of the day on the train, our call came during an appointment with a crazy
new convert (who drives everyone nuts) being respectful, we took the call and
made her wait. If you ask me why I can
just say you won’t understand unless you know her and such.
#8 – Well, the crazy lady above is named Anna and her
boyfriend/future husband of now a little of two weeks, have broken up and
gotten back together over 3 times which makes me extremely happy for point # 1
and you will see why.
#7 – This week I finished pretty much a dedica for Sorella
Taylor, Sorella Cojan, and Anziano Furia (I just need to write on his). I spent a boat load on his. There are over 50 photos. Why? Because
we had a lot of fun. That and all my
dedicas slowly become bigger and more complicated. I only need to do two more – one for Anziano
Kafel and Salvatore.
#6 – So on the train ride I will take on Thursday, I will
take 3 verdini (greenies) to a certain area of the mission.
#5 – Last p-day we had a super p-day and went to LeCastella
and other places. I also ate a great
pasta at LeCastella with mussels and clams if you believe it or not.
#4 – Every August 15 is a holiday or a start of a holiday
here. We cleaned the apartment like we
were supposed to then we went and spent the day with Salvatore and his family
which was a lot of fun.
#3 – We created a new anti-gossip lesson that we are
planning to make into trainings and talks.
We randomly came up with it and it was a killer spiritual thought.
#2 – So you all will be proud of me for this one. When I was in Taranto for splits we went to
an appointment and the lady offered us ice cream which I was happy about. Well in this ice cream there were two or
three flavors and one of them was a shady brown. Having doubt I asked what it was and received
the answer coffee flavored which is normal here. Sadly I rejected it because I knew it wasn’t
right and that Mom would kill me if I ate it.
Unfortunately, the other missionary I was with ate it. Go
figure. It bothered me, but it’s between
him and God. After the lesson we went
home then after a while he and another Utah missionary came and confronted me
about it. I wanted to tell them a few things, but in the end I just said that its too close to the line and I would
rather keep away. I wanted to say that coffee is against the
commandments not because it’s hot but because of the contents. You have to watch the content of gelato here.
#1 – Last. I got
transferred again. I was really shocked
to hear that I was going back to Sicily.
I wanted to go to Rome, but I love Sicily. I will be in Catania which is very close to
Siracusa and it’s a big city as well. It
will be with Anziano Hansen who is a great missionary. We have done splits together. We will see how it goes. That and unfortunately again I am a district
leader and I have sisters. Nothing
against sisters but they are either great or a hassle. I liked the ones I served with in
Siracusa. But I don’t know the ones in
Catania unless they stayed from before. I hope everything
goes well and I am certain I will miss Crotone, but I have plans to return.
That’s all my news for the week. 5th city and a lot of interesting
events. Hope to hear from everyone
soon. Lots of love. Anziano Hosford
