ALO!!!
Well Zach is in his new area of Gorbea. It is a tiny little town, like I said, in the southern most part of his mission area. His Italian cohort is Elder Giner, who is originally from Argentina, but has been living in Italy. From the sounds of it, they are both hard working and getting along great! Zach described him as his best friend, and every night they end up laughing themselves to sleep (sounds like a slumber party). The lord blessed him with what he needed and he needed an obedient, happy Italian. Gorbea is a rainy cold town, so basically Zach won't see the sun for a while, and he will always have an umbrella in his hand. There are only 30 members, and the elders teach priesthood, Sunday school classes and give talks in sacrament every Sunday. He has his work cut out for him, but I think this is just what he has been waiting for.
Well there wasn't much in the letter this week, but there was one kind of funny story that he wrote about. Elder Giner and Zach were walking down a street when a drunk man yelled at them. He said, "HEY! I am gay.", he then looked Zach in the eyes and said that he had beautiful eyes. Well then... Instead of being freaked out, Elder Giner said sarcastically "Yes, he is very beautiful!". They both laughed and went on their way after giving him a tarjeta and an invitation to church.
Thats all for this week, just a little update. Anyways, keep them in your prayers as they have a lot of ground to cover in Gorbea.
HASTA LUEGO!
