Carissimi,
Fufu: Sunday night, we had the pleasure of tasting this African staple, cooked by none other than Felix! We were graciously hosted in an awesome member's home, and what an experience was!
The soup was made with okra, goat meat, mini-crayfish, and some African fish I couldn't even begin to pronounce, let alone write.
Lets just say I was sent to the land of spaghetti, arrosticini, lasagna, pesto, ragù, cannoli, gelato, and so much more for a reason, haha neither my stomach, nor my taste buds were ready for that collection of exotic flavors. That's not to say I didn't enjoy an eating style best compared to coating Playdoh in vegetables and random fish bones, and throwing it back without chewing! All in all, the adventure of a culinary lifetime, and without a doubt worth a repeat experience!
Brand New: Sunday Morning fulfilled 4 months of waiting here in Pescara, as Sacrament Meeting was held in the largest chapel in Europe, the newly reconstructed and renovated Pescara Chapel! Investigators came, the spirit was felt, and each recognized the marvelous work God has prepared for Pescara! President Pickerd joined us in the celebration of the moment, along with the Rome East Stake Presidency. The eyes of the church in Italy, at least for a moment, were turned towards the work in Pescara, and this monumental step forward!
Etc: Enjoyed a scambio this week with Anziano Farinotti, native Italian from Bergamo. It was awesome being jolted out of my habitual language usage, and speaking 100%, in Italian, with an Italian! Other highlights were performing the baptismal interview for Pedro, who will be baptized on the 7th in L'Aquila, and anticipating a week full of conference, both Zone and General!
All's quiet on the eastern front, at least for the next few days!
Vi voglio benissimo!
Anziano Toronto II 🇮🇹
