Still Partying in Caserta

Buon Giorno Tutti!

So it turns out Anziano Faggioli and I are still in Caserta for at least another 6 weeks! It also turns out that we are both getting new companions and that Caserta is being upgraded to a four man place so that will be fun! My new companion is an Anziano Gunderson from Manti, Utah. I will be follow up training him because he came to Italy in the group just after me, so he has only been out for one transfer and I have only been out for two. I am also going to be the District Leader for the 4 Caserta missionaries and also the Senior couple here. So... This will be a pretty fun transfer! I am actually very excited! By the end of this transfer I will know how to speak Italian a whole lot better and I will be a lot more prepared to serve overall. This is going to be an awesome experience to learn and stuff! Anziano Faggiolis companion is a kid straight out of the MTC, so Caserta is going to be one of the youngest houses in the mission. Tomorrow we go to pick up our companions and I am excited! 

Everything else in Caserta is pretty much normal! We are teaching and having success. It is kind of a bumber that we have to split our investigators here. I gave Anziano Faggioli R* and G* because I really want to see them baptized and I know I cant answer all of their questions sufficiently  at the moment. It will be cool if I get to give them their baptismal interviews though. I will continue to teach S*, I*, and E*, M* mom. We have been talking with S* about being baptized at the end of June, so that is looking very promising. I* is still coming to Church and is basically a member without having been baptized. I think that this transfer will be a great opportunity to find and to grow the Caserta branch more. I love it here! I am so relieved that I get to stay here for another 6 weeks. That means that I will be here for the 4th of July when they celebrate it on the base and that will be great!

Today for PDay we are going with an American member and M* to play some Golf at the Golf Course in Pozzuoli owned by the American base. It will be really fun! It is M* first time playing even though he has watched Golf on TV for the past 3 years. Life is great and nice in Caserta! It is the best place to be serving! I am so excited for this next transfer! The language will be a little stressful, but overall it will just be a way fun transfer. With four missionaries in the house it is going to be really fun and we are gonna be having a lot of Pizza nights haha. The Pizza here is still amazing! Oh, and funny thing, in the last week I have had 3 different people say that I am gaining weight... I have been actually keeping close track to how much weight I have gained and I have gained only two pounds from the MTC... So... I dont know. Haha. Life is great here!

Sincerely,

Anziano Burton
