Cari Miei,
I hope this letter finds you well.
Well, let’s get started.
We got to Prato and got settled in, the
apartment is good, it’s about 3 times as big as the Alessandria apartment, but it
is lacking in the Kitchen and the shower is...fun...just really...not easy to
use. But, I really am liking it more and more as the time goes by. Anziano Frustaci
and I are getting along really well. We will be good friends by the end of the
Transfer. Also since the time we got into Prato, we have set 5 baptismal dates and things are really rolling along, it is really
really beautiful in Tuscana. We actually drove down from Milano with Sienna,
they have a car. They dropped us off in Prato, so I got to see a really beautiful drive. I really like the Branch President and the
Branch is really good, we had about 70 people in church. So not as big as
Alessandria's 110...but still decent.
So a certain Wife of my brother will
like this next thing a lot. Guess which city is in our District...yeah, Sienna.
And so Anziano Frustaci is our District Leader and that means he has to do a
Scambio with everyone in our district. That means I do a scambio with everyone in the
District and so, yesterday, I went to Sienna for a day. It was REALLY beautiful
and I saw more or less all of the Touristy sites, we just walked around the center of the city and did some street contacting all
day, so I saw everything in Sienna (All the main attractions at least) 4 or 5
times. So it was a really really great day. Super excited to go back down, because
my camera battery was dead and I got 0 pictures. So the next time I will be
better prepared. Anyhow, it was ridiculously cool and I'm loving Tuscany.
Which brings me to where I'm sitting at this moment. At an internet point in
Florence, we are going to go the huge market after this and see some sights. So
within the first week I've already seen Sienna
and Florence...I'm so happy that I came to Prato. There is in the Market, 2
Euro Ties...they are famous in the Milan Mission. It is a must go for every missionary,
I will be heading back to Prato with 15 additional ties today... Also there is
a rumored Subway here in Firenze. (Florence, But it is Firenze for me) So I’m
super excited. Things are going really well.
Anziano Frustaci is a really great missionary, like I said last time he just
got done being one of the Zone Leaders in Torino, so he is really good. I am
super excited for this transfer. We are already doing so much good work and
with the help of a really great missionary like Anziano Frustaci, I know we
will be baptizing soon.
OH yeah, my mission call has been
changed, I’m now in the Milan, Italy, Chinese
speaking mission...Prato is about 30% Chinese people....There is one street in
particular, I will take a picture, but it is just in Chinese...all the stores
and signs they have the Italian name and then the Chinese translation...it is
just infested with Chinese people...So, I will be learning Chinese...So far I
only know how to say Jesus Christ.
Anyhow, I love you all and you should
see some postcards soon. Hope you are all doing well, I am doing VERY well.
I miss you and love you,
Love,
Anziano Memmott
