I drank a lot of hot chocolate.

Ciao,


Ok, again I need to ask forgivness for not writting for a few weeks. Statte (pronounced stat-te, sorry I never realized that that would be a problem until I just recieved a letter telling me about a mix up) is not the biggest place, so things don't really happen a lot. We had transfers, and my companion and I were the only ones not transfered in the entire zone. We are really happy about it though, well until the other day when we had a disagreement over whether soccer or baseball was the better sport. Although, I do believe we all know the answer to that one. Let's just say 4 billion hooligans can't be wrong. Continuing, we had the great pleasure of going to Foggia(pronounced fo-ja) to get my companion's green card. Well, we took a three hour train ride, spent the night, and had to wait 5 hours before they called his name. Then, of course, they told him that he didn't have everything, so he had to come back. I was fine because there was an amazing hot chocolate machine there for only £.30. I drank a lot of hot chocolate. So, this past Saturday was the 10 year anniversary of the Puglia (pu-ye-a) Stake. We, all went back to Bari for a wonderful night of standing around. It was great. As for our contacts we are kind of coming short on that, but never loosing faith we keep working hard. Speaking of working hard this Sunday an american couple came to church, so we got to translate for them. That is very hard to do. It went pretty well, but the last speaker did something that I did not like at all. He gets up in church, says well there isn't much else that I can say that hasn't been said on this argument, so he decides to just ramble off for 30 mins. Second of all he is already hard to understand, and when he just starts talking about completely random stuff. My companion just gave up. I think even the children were all asleep at the end. It was brutal. Anyway I hope all is well for ya'll. Stay safe and healthy.


Arrivederci
