Am I the only one in shock that we are halfway through April??
This week was WILD! For starters, we got transfer calls today. I'm about to start my fifth transfer. And after only one here in Bari, they are sending me off to Caserta. So I will be in the Napels zone, where I can get the best pizza! I'll also be where the US Base is, so I'm going to have access to America food too!! I'm sad to already be leaving Bari, but I know God is in charge of this and He knows what He's doing. However, I will miss the people.
Other cool events this week--I got to visit Polignano a Mara twice. Once to visit some members and then today for P-Day. It is just sooo beautiful. Aaaannnddd it is the birthplace of the man who sings "Volare" (Dominico Modugno) I know you all know this song. If you don't remember it, look it up and you will. I've been singing the song for like 6 weeks now. So all the photos with the beautiful ocean are there. Absolutely lovely.
We spend a good chunk of time finding and we have been trying to get creative. We remembered there was a member's daughter who cut hair. So we went there to get my hair cut. We built a good relationship with her, and she did a good job. There was this cute little girl in the Salon, her name was Rebecca and she was just the queen of the block. She was maybe 10. But she comes walking in and declaring she had gotten this huge foccatcia for free. And then she showed us how to do the salsa. Haha she was so cute. Sorella Silva told her I sing, so she asked me to sing something. So I sang Volare. She must have really liked it cause she kept asking me to sing something else. So I ended up singing a song in English for her, and taught her how to sing Mary Had A Little Lamb in Italian. It was really cute. She agreed to help me learn Italian. She told me it is "facilissimo." The cut turned out really cute, and it was nice being able to visit a less active. She even gave us a discount so that we could come back. We will be letting the future missionaries know they should go there.
I love you guys and thank you for your support!
Sorella Thorup
