The Three-man Team

Buon Giorno Tutti!

é mercoledi di nuovo! 

I hope everything is going alright back at home! Things are still great in sunny Italy, so I cant really complain. Fortunately this last week things have been really nice and cool. It has been beautiful weather! This week things are suppose to get warm again. So this week we have a new President! His name is President Waddoups. I havent met him yet, but next Thursday we have zone conference, so I will meet him then. He will be the one to decide my fate for next transfer, so it will be interesting.

Things in Caserta are going really well! We have a jam packed week and are teaching a lot of new investigators and we have a lot of potentials right now. This last week I had the opportunity to extend a baptismal invite to our new investigator from C* named  B* T*. He is a really nice guy and he accepted and right now we have a date planned for the 20th of July. We feel that he can be prepared by then. R* and G* are doing great and continuing in their lessons. We are still trying to help them quit smoking but G* is having a harder time with it. Our investigator S* has been reading the Book of Mormon every day and she wants to be baptized at the end of this month, so probably on the same day has B*. We still need to set a date officially. An investigator we have named GF* has been reading a ton in the Book of Mormon and he is learning really fast and it is great to see him  progressing. We still need to explain some things to him though about the basics of the Gospel. One of M*'s friends has become interested in the Church and we will be going to his house soon and teaching his whole family, so we are very excited for that. The work has taken a big leap this week and we have set up our time so that we have a lot of lessons. It is really exciting. We think that we can set some more baptismal dates within the next few weeks!

I am happy to be out here right now, it is awesome! The work is progressing along and with the new Worldwide Leadership Broadcast announcements, I think that it will jumpstart missionary work again. Things will take off and it will be cool to see during my time here. This week I have continually thought of how lucky I am to be fighting the battle for the Church on the Catholic front. It is a really cool experience and it is incredible being in Italy and seeing how the Church can really change peoples lives. It is hard and everything, but every moment is worth it here. Hope everything is going well at home! Love you all!

Sincerely,

Anziano Burton
