So after only a week of being here in Verona I have already
fallen in love with the city! I heard from everyone before I came here that the
city was beautiful, but I had no idea just how right they were. Verona is a
picturesque city, the kind you'd expect to see in a movie, and it's full of
amazing people! The members here are very nice and super helpful for the
missionaries; we have had no shortage of their assistance while I have been
here.
This P-day I went to go visit the famous tourist trap,
Juliet's balcony, where allegedly the original Juliet talked to the original Romeo
(however, sadly, the story of Romeo and Juliet was completely made up by
Shakespeare). The site is nonetheless pretty cool and total worth seeing as it
is free of charge (aka a missionary's dream)!
My new companion, Anziano Skinner, is a really good kid and
he and I are getting along well. He is from Utah and he loves motocross racing,
country music, and the outdoors. I'm excited to serve with him and learn from
him and make this transfer a great one. This week he and I made a big effort to
seek for service opportunities and now we have found some potential
organizations that we are trying to sign up for. We're hoping to be able to
find new people to teach more effectively through these opportunities rather
than conventional methods of stopping people on the streets. The idea is that
we will be able to build the trust of these people before we invite them to
learn about what we believe. And at the very minimum we will help many people
out though our volunteering, even if no one takes interest in what we want to
share with them!
Well, have a great week y'all and look for opportunities to
serve in your lives!
