Week 28- Sicily, here I come!

Well my week was awesome! We had a baptism! A guy named Claudio, who was friends with Gabriella! He had taken the lessons from these Anziani in our district, unfortunately this one Anziano had just finished his mission and was about ready to go home when he was hit by a motorcycle!  Luckily he was almost totally fine except a bad bruise on his leg!  Fortunately we were able to go ahead with the baptism!
Also I got transferred, Finally, I leave Bitonto......  I have been called to serve in a city on the western tip of Sicily, called Trapani.  It's a 15 hour trip from Bitonto and will take 2 days to get there!  I leave on Wednesday this week and we will be staying the night in Napoli, which means I will be having Napoli pizza and some gooood mozzarella! Haha! Also, my new companion is only one month older than me in the mission so we are reallly young in the mission still as a companionship, but I am sure we will receive Divine help! His name is Anziano Tew and he is from Idaho, I think. (I haven't actually met him yet). Well, its incredible that I will be going sooo far away and I am sooo very excited!  I am looking forward to the crazy change in culture and food down in Sicilia! 
Also, we got news that we will be receiving iPad's soon!  President David A. Bednar is coming to speak to our entire mission in Rome on April 28th! So, I will have to travel from Sicily to Rome and then back again.  So I am getting ready for a bit of travel Hahaaha! Man it was a great week! Unfortunately we didn't have a lesson with the doctor because he had other things to do but we had a lesson with the raggazi that went well! So one of the 11 year old's is going to be baptized on Easter or the day before and the other is still waiting because his parents haven't come to church yet (so they are not twins, by the way, but are cousins).  So I will not see that baptism but I'm sure both will happen.  Also, hopefully Francesco, the doctor will be baptized soon! Man I am so pumped! This is the best time ever! 
Well not much else happened, I have been saying goodbye to all the members I got close with during these past 6 months and that's about it. The work here is going really well, we have been really blessed! Today for P-day we will do some good eating and play some ping pong and volleyball! The perfect day! Haha! Well anyways, if I think of anything I need I will let you know! Thanks for all that you do! You are continually blessed! 
Love you ! Have a good week!
