Subject: Transfers!

Well, it's transfer week again. I'm out of here! I'm headed a little farther north to Reggio Emilia, where I will be companions to Anziano Ellsworth and District Leader over Piacenza. In our district will also be a new copia of sisters that will live in Modena but will work in Reggio Emilia and will work with the same ward I will work with. The other missionaries in my district will be Anziano Minà, Anziano Proctor, Sorelle Chambers and Jones. In my place here in Pesaro will be Anziano Palmer, from my MTC group. Since I'm being transferred, please send all mail to the mission office until further notice. Tonight I'll be headed to Bologna to stay the night and then I'll head to Reggio Emilia in the morning. As I packed my bags today, I decided that I really dislike packing now. This is my fifth city. I love transfers, but I dislike the packing now. Anyways...

 

This week was pretty uneventful. Why, you ask? I respond, because Anziano Rockwood had such severe tooth pain all week that we were basically in the house all week. Fortunately we were able to meet with a dentist yesterday and get things straightened out with his teeth. phew! Anyways, Wednesday we went and gave Sorella Nardini a blessing because she had some kind of crazy disease that she attributed to witches and stuff. I think it was just allergies. That was funny though.

 

Thursday, we went to a district meeting where our Zone Leaders taught us how to do district meetings more better involving acting like a coach. Then we did some area book work, went out to teach Sorella Cardenas, and then that was about the whole day.

 

Friday, we did our planning session, contacted Renzo Tonucci who dropped us but said we could call anytime and was basically just not wanting to commit. If we go back though, we could totally baptize him. Then we went and taught Albert, our new convert at his house and that was it for the day.

 

Saturday, we chilled inside all day again, and then went out to work around 6, when we got a couple stand ups. Then I went crazy inviting people to hear the gospel.

 

Sunday, we had a nice day in church, and then we had a linger longer with delicious food including oatmeal chocolate chip cookies baked by yours truly. Then we had a really good ward council and chilled some more.

 

Monday, we had an appointment with a dentist that was a joke. She examined his teeth, told us that he had no cavities and that it wasn't urgent. and then we left. That was weird. So we went home, chilled and called dentists around Pesaro till we found one that was american trained and spoke english. We went to him tuesday morning and he fixed up Anziano Rockwood. Turns out he has gingivitis because he brushes and flosses wrong. So the dentist gave him a cleaning that made him bleed like crazy, then taught him how to brush and floss. seriously though, Anziano Rockwood bled a lot. Then we did some casa and taught our english class, who this week was Michael. Then we went to our WML's house, taught him a lesson and went home. This morning, I packed. Monday evening, President called to tell me I was headed to Reggio Emilia, where I'd be district leader and there would be sisters in my city for the first time well... ever. This should be a fun new adventure.

 

I love you all.
