Yeah, I once got really cold feet from walking barefoot on the marble floor, and it was always tough to decide if we should eat dinner looking at the Alps or the Mediterranean. I almost died from indecision.

Well, you didn't have to worry about working with German women who were bigger and stronger than the average Samoan lineman, where baths were considered unhygienic so we could only go to the City Bath once a week, where we caught mice and rats for entertainment and you lived in the land of Turks.
Take your primitive and raise it one notch. Add to that no discussions and no baptisms for most.

We solved our problem by eating dinner on the roof so we could see both the Mediterranean and Mt. Etna.

That is brutal. But it can't compare with this. In the first 4 months of my mission I didn't have a car. I had to ride a bike. I felt violated; every man has a right to a cherry Ford Escort.

I didn't even get to ride a bike. I had to use public transportation until I became an AP. We were forced to drive a 1984 Alfa Romeo Giulietta.

I don't know how impressive it really is. Word on the street was that the mission president brought me into the office as an AP to keep an eye on me.
