Wifi and Transfers and Pulizia
So you might be wondering why I don't write emails, and the answer is
because there is no place to send them. Our new church has opened and
it's gorgeous but the last thing on the priority list is Wifi.
Vercelli and Novara will be without wifi for up to four months, so ha.
We've done scavenging to find public wifi, and they are all extremely
slow, or don't connect. I'm supposed to see you're even reading this,
it means I have somewhat broken the barrier of discombobulated
communication and succeeded somewhere.
Last Pday we went to Domodossola and hiked a bit, learned the area up
near Iselle and had fun. This pday we cleaned and I packed and we took
apart three broken fans and made a 'robot sculpture'.
Wait...packing?! Yes, we received transfer calls on Saturday last and
they told me that I'm going back to Toscana!!! My city will be
Livorno, just south of Pisa. I'll finally get to see the Mediterranean
and I can visit La Spezia, Pisa, and Siena on Pday. I think in
English they monikered (stupidly) the city as 'Leghorn?'
This week I've had to say goodbye to everyone, except there is no one
because it is Ferragosto, also known as "leave and don't come back in
August" holiday. Maryke returned today, so I'll be saying goodbye
later.
On Sunday we had the blessing to take part in a baptism of 2
eight-year-old girls and Ting was there to watch as well. Sofia, on of
the baptized, lives with non members but comes to church with her
grandma. I was the one that began the lessons with her, even though
she knew everything, and we got permission to baptize her on her
birthday.
Ok, gotta go, I am super excited to get back on my feet and take on
another city as district leader and Senior Companion, serving with
Anziano Freckleton.
I'll update you next week!
Love you all
