Email 12/8/2014 Transferred

So, not gonna lie, I am not in a super good mood as of late and I guess I'll start off with the reason why:

I'm getting transferred. Yup. I only am going to do one in Napoli, and now I'm going to Rome, which in all honesty was an area I never had, and still don't have, a major desire to serve in. Oh, and my comp is getting blown out as well. So, we are not super happy about this.

The main reason that this sucks, is because our three dates we have for baptism on the 20th. But I'll talk about that in a bit, so enough of my ranting and going off, I'll talk about things from home and then about how my work, or we should say my old work, is going.

Mom: Honestly, it's just the end of my mission coming around the corner, that's all. It's not that I'm homesick, just tired, and nearing the end. Working as hard as I possibly can right now, so I'm doing okay. You guys aren't that weird, believe me, so it won't be bad.

As for Skype, I'll let you know what's going to happen, because I don't know right now, so once I get to Rome 6, I'll talk to you.

Glad that Coda is doing better, and that he is his happy dog self again.

Zone Conference was all right. Learned some stuff, aka: Return to the basics, keeps things simple. I wrote some stuff down, but I don't have my notebook with me, so I can't say. Besides that, had a lot of fun with my friends, it was fun.

Glad that Festival of Trees was fun. I can't believe I missed you playing!!!!!!!! I hope you filmed it so I can at least listen to it when I get home. Sorry work's been so busy, but that in and of itself isn't a bad thing. It keeps us focused.

I really like the branch here. It's pretty cool. We're working on increasing member work, but we have talked to our branch president, and he is behind the missionary work. He just called a new ward mission leader, an American who lives here, so things will probably start growing quickly.

Dad: Congratulations! You are now done with school, and can finally move on to doing what you love: Whatever that is.  I don't know what you like to do anymore since I am not there. But congratulations anyways, it's super cool that you completed everything and did so well.

Both: Hey quick question, but I want both of you to work on this if you can. Can you guys look up information on BYU pathway? It's run through BYU Idaho. It's a college prep class that also can get you over into college right away. It's online and it's pretty cheap. We had a fireside on it here in Napoli, and I was wondering if you could look it up for me?

You can go to the byui.edu, and then look for pathway. If this is pretty good, I might go and do this instead of SLCC. Just wondering, keeping my options open.

Okay, so for my work:

Work was okay this week. Zone Conf, kinda messed it up but it still went pretty well.

We met with Claudio and Evelina this week. Evelina, like always, is ready for baptism, but Claudio is still struggling. He just wants to make sure that this is going to be a decision that when he makes, he's going to keep. So, we planned to just go over the interview questions with them, and then see the responses. I personally find both of them ready, they just need to get the courage!

And Sara is great as well. We taught the "rough" commandments aka Law of Chastity and Word of Wisdom. She was down and willing to try and live them as much as she could. We are going to try and help her stop smoking, and are going to give her the stop smoking program.

I should make a note that we also teach Sara with her mother and sister who are both investigators as well.

And yup. That's how things went this week.

Later.
