Haha wierd week. So this week on Thursday and Friday I had two consecutive scambios and I did work in the other Genova Anziani area. It went well I did a scambio with Anziano Johnson who used to be my companion when we were in a three some and Anziano Squarcia. Both went really well I had a lot of fun and for one of the days I helped them clean up their apartment because it had to be inspected by a senior couple. Anyway both exchanges went well and it was cool because I did Anziano Squarcia's last exchange with him. This transfer he finishes his mission. By the way before I continue I would like to wish Barry and Kimberly Thomas a wonderful happy aniversary Aguri!! 25 years wow che vecchietti!
Other news we had a trip to the Emergency Room this Monday!!! Yeah! So what happend was Anziano Hansen had not been feeling so well so Sunday morning he took 2 ibiprofen pills and that night his stomach was hurting so he took two more Ibiprofen pills and he started telling me that his stomache was hurting. So we went to sleep and at 4 in the morning he wakes me up and asks me to give him a priestood blessing because his stomache was killing him so I give him a blessing and go back to bed. At 5 in the morning I here him moaning a little and am like uhh... Anziano are you okay? And he's like can you call the mission president's wife Sorella Wolfgramm? So I call her and she doesn't answer and he's really bad now like laying on the floor, bad. It was pretty bad so I tell him to get up we're going to the hospital I knew where the hospital was and it was about 10 minutes in bus. So we started walking out it was a little cold outside and my companion starts crying telling that he's never been in so much pain before so I'm thinking that his appendix burst or something. We start walking to the bus stop and he's crying and asks me <<Anziano, why don't people just repent??>> I was like uhh.. that's a wierd question to ask haha the he goes on to say because I can't imagine the eternal pain of people who don't repent.. so uh.. you could say he's a missionary haha but before we got on the bus I said a quick prayer with him that everything would be alright. But we got there got inside the emergency room and they gave him a wheel chair and shoved a needle into his arm and immediatly the pain went away. So, I was waiting outside the emergency room and there was this woman and her husband (who was older) fell out of the bed and and a bad cut on the back of his head. So we get talking and she asks me who I am and I explain everything and jump into the restoration and ended up giving her a Book of Mormon! She was really cool and after we stopped talking for a bit she started reading through i,t really cool though. She gave us her number but I think she's more interested in feeding me Italian food haha then hearing about the gospel but we'll see. So what ended up happening with Anziano Hansen was that he took to much ibprofen pills and it was bad for his stomach. I was a little annoyed I thought it was something really serious but I'm glad that he's alright so that's what matters. For the rest of the day except for appointments we stayed inside and rested. It was a nice morning adventure though.
As with investigators we only have Rafaele with a baptismal date but have found some new investigators so things are picking up again. It's up and down with the work, oh nice this drunk guy just got on the computer next to me haha the internet point we go to is so ghetto but it's only 1 euro for an hour so that's nice. It's in a ghetto area too if you walk out and go deeper into the allyways there are prostitutes everywhere it's gross. One time when I first got here we took a wrong turn and walked passed some and they're like hey baby.. nasty. Also we saw this creepy guy ask one of them if she was working.. the world is nasty time for a second coming?
Other than that the work is picking up so hopefully this next week all goes well as I'll find out where I'm going so I would like some city guesses haha.
Thanks for everything love you all!
Anziano Thomas
