Dear President Kelly,
Man, this week has been interesting. Trying to adjust cities as
quick as possible is hard. I feel like I'm exhausting myself out, and I
don't know how, it's weird. But Cagliari is, on first impression, a
great city! My second day in, we contacted a referral named Gaetano,
whose wife had recently died, and is really crushed by it. We talked
with him a bit, and he seemed perfectly willing to meet with us whenever
he's free, with his member friend (Sorella Safina). She in fact told us
about an incontro they had after we saw him, and it seems like she will
be a fantastic help, answered his questions, addressed concerns, it's
great!
We've set up quite a few appointments with members, less active and
not, for this week, and so far they're working out well. We talked with
this one guy, Ricardo, who has a decent testimony, and told us he would
be willing to talk to his friends about changing up work schedule so he
could come to church this week, at least. Hopefully that all works out.
Thanks for being there President!

Hi guys
Man, I'm beat right now. I really think I've been pushing myself
too hard in some way, but I don't know how. I can't even really think of
what to say right now in this letter, or what I need to do to help
myself. Crap.
But Cagliari is fantastic, and huge! I've got my first district
with Sorelle, so I finally have a "Mom"! She's french, too! Haha, but
yeah, this place is really nice. We have a car every other week (we
share with some other Anziani in our district, Oristano). There's
flamingos here (although they're not quite pink, a little more white).
And it's not destroyed. Which I find is a plus.
And the branch here is big, with consistently about 60+ members. So
far, they're really great! My companion is Canadian, named Anziano
McIntyre. I'm not quite sure what to make of him yet. We'll see. He's
rather quiet and shy. Maybe not so much shy as timid. Oh well, you get
what I mean.
But yeah, ummm, we got here by plane from the Rome airport. I came
with 3 greenies to Sardegna, so I was the one making sure we got to
everything right, and asking questions and so on. Weird. 4 transfers in.
But I think Heavenly Father decided to bless me with the Gift of
Tongues at THAT point, when I needed it, because I noticed that I've
been understanding and been able to talk a lot more comfortably since
then. Oh, and I did not see Sorella Rossell at transfers, although I
just saw in my email where everybody went. She went to a city called
Battipaglia. Which is near Napoli. Not Naples. Naples just sounds weird.
It's Napoli. :)
Yeah, district leader. We'll see how that goes. I've got an
addestramento (training) to do for Zone Conference this week, wish me
luck!
Sorry that emails came at a bad time for me. Plus, in the place we
do them, it's free, but we only have an hour on the computers, so I'll
see what I can do about writing better and more meaningful letters in a
smaller amount of time.
Ciao ciao!

Almost forgot: Skype may be around 6 o clock on Sunday evening my time. I
don't know a heck of a lot. Subject to change. Possibly a call. We get a
call to set it up, if it's different, I'll let you know.
