This week was crap 💩

Hi everyone!!! How are you all?!?! Seriously let me know because I love getting emails and messages throughout the week. Its like a little present. Also I am now over 2 months in the mission. That sounds like nothing but is so crazy that it's already been 2 months!! Um anyways lets get to the knitty gritty. 

First let me explain the title "This week was crap" hehehe. So basically everywhere on the streets in Caserta is poop. Like seriously people don't pick up after their dogs and they just poop and pee everywhere. Its literally a game of Mario cart dodging the bananas. Anyways, there I was walking happily along, doing a great job of dodging each piece of dog shazzz. Then we sat down for some din din and I start smelling something reallll bad and im like "Sorell, do you smell that like that smells terrible. She literally says "yeah it smells like cacca." Well folks it was in fact a huge ball of cacca. Joy  Okay now time for a cool story frfr. Okay so Sorella Crane and I decided to do some good ol knockin of the doors. We picked this random apartment building and this was a Padre pio LAND MINE. I seriously have never seen more Padre Pio shrines in my whole existence. If you don't know who padre pio is, basically he stinks because hes like Jesus but he only pays for 1/3 of your sins and he wears gloves because he has like the marks that Jesus has on his hands. I personally don't understand it but ya know jesus said love everyone so I guess I love padre pio. ANYWAYS, we get door after door slammed in our face and then we decided were going to do one last apartment building. We walk up all five flights of stairs and no one gives us the time of day. And then we knock on the very last door and BAM SHE OPENS WITH A SMILE?!?!?! She literally knew where our church was and we exchanged numbers and were going to visit her on Saturday!!!! LAST DOOR LAST FLOOR FOR THE WIN!!! I thought that was just a myth but i guess it's real. 

Okay last story and then I'll let you all go. Pov there we were 6:30am starting the 30 min walk to the train station for Zone Conference. Sorella crane and I are just talking and jollying along, halfway to the train station, when Sorella Crane goes "Do you have your name tag." Well folks lets just say we started running the fastest I've ever ran at 6:30 in the morning with a full face of makeup on and in a dress. It was awful to say the least. We made it on the train as the doors were shutting. 

This week has been tough for me with the language. It's especially hard when we teach lessons and I just want to be their friends so badly and tell them about how much I LOVE JESUS and how much jesus loves them and how this Gospel can help them with every single need they have. but instead I sit there like a mute unfortunately because I literally speak English. This week were doing an English fast too (every conversation, every district and zone meeting, and every waking second is all in Italian) so the only thing keeping me going is that there's coke in Italy and prayer. Anyways, anyone who has learned a language, don't be shy, give me tips on how I can be people's friends even when I literally can't speak to them. Grazie. Sorry this was a long email. I think I'm getting all the English out that's in my mind. So thanks if you read all this. Now enjoy some silly photos.
