Ups and Downs

Buon Giorno Tutti!

So this week has had some ups and downs. Anziano Gunderson unfortunately went home because of Severe Anxiety he has been having for a long time. I took him up to Rome on Friday and then came back to Caserta to continue working. I am now in a threeman companionship and it is good but just a little different. I think I like being with just one companion rather than two. My companions are Anziano Morgan and Anziano Faggioli. It is an adjustment, but we are still working hard and getting things done. I enjoy being with them, but there is a little more room for contention and stuff, but it is alright because everything works out in the end.

This week we have continued teaching R* and G*. Rosanna is smoking only one cigarette a day and so that is great! G* is having a little bit harder time with it, but I think he will start progressing quickly soon. He has the potential to, he just needs to really give it a go. Our other investigators are doing well, but progression has been slow recently. It is a little hard but we are still working and we are trying to find others in our spare time. It is hard doing street contacting or house, so we mostly just hand out tons of pass along cards for our English Course. It is hard to find success with any contacting right now. I am enjoying being here still though! I love Caserta and cant really complain.

Yesterday we did a exchange with the Zone Leaders and that was really fun! They helped us out with our work here and we got a lot of things done. It was really good! I was with a guy named Anziano Da Ponte and he works really hard and gave us some new ideas for getting more people to our English Courses. It was good! I am not sure how much more I will be in Caserta, but I will try to do my best to help the area progress and help the people to progress. Things overally are good though. I cant complain being in Italy and being on a mission. It has been an interesting week, some ups and down, but overall it has ended alright.

Until next week!

Sincerely,

Anziano Burton
