The work is very different here. Very productive.
My companion is Anziano Green, from Palmyra, NY, although his family
moved to Clarksville TN while he was out here. We get along super well
and this is going to be a really good transfer, we laugh often and
think alike.
I am the only westerner in the district though. Sorella Barlow, this
is her last transfer, is from Great Britain. Sorella Marshall is from
the Toronto Canada area. So, they often make fun of the USA, and more
especially Utah.
But guess what, too bad, because they serve over the American ward
here. There is a large military base here in Aviano, and it makes
things so fun. Yesterday we went to Burger King and it was paid for by
the members. The young single military men often invite us to shop on
base with them at the commissary, so we can get anything we want for
cheap. Though, honestly, Italian food is just fine
Thursday's we visit Renato Leban, a locally renowned artist who is a
convert. Wednesday nights we teach English to Italians. Thursday's
nights we teach Italian to Americans.
Tuesdays we have a 'Family Home Evening' serrata familiare , with
anyone from either ward. Last Saturday we painted a house for service
of some Portuguese people, (there was no communication between us,
perbacco!). Lots of people we talked to in parks, on the street, and
then lots of people came to church that were invited by members. The
work is slow but we may say that the field is ripe.
Questions?
Cool, love you all, remember your prayers!
