Ciao Time: First Week in Italy

Ciao Famiglia

I just arrived in my first area yesterday and we needed to go shopping so we just did Pday today.

So here I am!!!! I'm doing well, I met my trainer yesterday and we went to our area last night. He's really cool, really smart and likes running, so that's awesome. Although he's way better than me, I'll still run with him cuz I need to with all this pasta I'm gonna eat. His name is Anziano Leavitt. I think you talked with him on the phone Mom.

My city is called Pesaro and my trainer and I are whitewashing (this just means they are both new missionaries to the area) it. He was trained here as well though, so he knows the area. It's a small town near the middle of the country right on the Eastern coast. There are ten members here and there hasen't been a baptism in a really long time. But! my trainer has a few contacts from the last missionaries and even one who might be close to baptism.

It is soooo weird being in Italy. It seems like it's America, but everything is slightly off. It's really trippy. As far as the language goes I can't understand anyone except for my trainer and even then it's only sometimes. I'm jetlagged, and culture shocked, and just overall confused about everything. It's alright though because the food makes up for it.

I learned today that Italians don't get sarcasm so that's just great.

Overall I'm doing good. My apartment is kinda big and has two showers so that's nice. The only thing is that there's no AC and as you know I'm not a wimp when it comes to sweat.

I love you guys! Tell me what's goin' on at home. How's school going? How was the beach? is flubba still kickin? That ol fart better still be alive when I get back. I don't really care about Bruno but it'd be nice if he survived I guess. I'm kiiiiiiiding. I miss playing with that little goober.

I think that's it for this week! there's probably more but I'm kinda out of it right now. I'm so tired that I can't even keep track of what I've said already and what I want to say.
