WHAT IS UP PARTY PEOPLE!!! Another week filled with pure JOY has passed ladies and gentleman. I seriously am just always so happy here I just can't even begin to express it. 

I honestly don't have a lot to write about this week so I'm just gonna do some quick stats from being on the mission.

- pizzas eaten  : 26

- creepy old men winks : 37

- cars that have nearly killed me   : 75

- pasta eaten  : 32 ( I never get sick of pizza but I do get sick of pasta)

- gelato : 12 (honestly we don't eat that much gelato)

- padre pio shrines  : 47 

- amount of times we've been cat called by italian little boys  : 13

This week we had an eternal scambio because of a transportation strike. This happens weekly because I guess the train people just forget they have a job or something. Idk. Italians man. So what we thought was a day long scambio, turned into a 3 day long Scambio full of adventure. I needed a nap real bad after that one. 

Two Italian men found my tik tok. Never did I ever think that would happen in my life. Also never have i ever been so embarrassed. 

For the rest of the transfer me and my queen Sorella Anderson are doing an English fast so that should be exciting. Wish me luck. 

I have nothing else to say except God loves you, I love you, and don't you ever forget that!! Ciao

Con Forza E Fede

Yo yo yo what is good in the hood. Another settmina has passed us by ladies and gentleman and here we are again on the weekly email. Let's get right into it.

I stepped in poop 3 times this week. 

I had 3 men try to set me up with their sons

I was gifted a toothbrush head!! Oral B too!!

I tried this type of drink thats like coffee but not coffee. BARF MY BRAINS OUT why in the world do people drink that stuff

Another scambio story. Basically, we took a train from Napoli to Castellammare and while an Italian old man was telling me I have ugly eyeballs, we realized we had been sitting on the wrong train. After returning back to Napoli and hopping on another train, 3 hours later we made it home, walked up the 6 flights of stairs only for the apartment door to not open for another 3 hours. Eventually, after going through about 8 people to try and get the door open we called the one and only Vescovo (bishop) of Castellammare. This guy is the GOAT. He walked right up to the door, says "con forza e fede" and bam literally first try he just opens the door right up. Then he bought us gelato. What a guy. There you have it folks, con FORZA e FEDE anything is possible. 

Miracle for the week : I FOUND ROLLERSKATES. We were door knocking and just happened to pass by a nice little market and i saw a little twinkle in the corner of my eye. Low and behold there were these tiny little pink roller skates. You bet your sweet bippity i stopped on over and slapped those babies on. This may not be mission approved, but hey, you know what they say, work hard play hard. I think it was a sign for me to play hard that day. 

Here's my spiritual thought for this week. Our mission president asked us to listen to the talk called "Ask in faith" by Elder bednar. I LOVE this talk. Basically he talks about what it means to truly ACT in FAITH and he continues to talk about how missionaries and members work together. Missionaries are the designated teachers given authority and set apart by God and the members are the designated finders!! If you're a member, go out there and find them Jesus freaks!! We need your help!! Grazie mille!!
