Forza Caserta!

Buon Giorno Tutti!

Another week down and it just so happens that this week I passed my six month mark in the mission. It is crazy to think that I have been gone from everything for six months. It has flown by! I am already a quarter of the way done with my mission! So crazy!

Well, this week has been good! We got a few more investigators and we are keeping ourselves pretty busy with teaching lessons in the evenings almost every day. We got a new african investigator named F* who is friends with our investigator S* and her family, K* and A*. We have already set a baptismal date with him for August 31st, so we are very excited for that! Right now for S*, she just needs to have her baptismal interview and then she can be baptized. We are working that out right now.

R* and G* unfortunately still have not come to church, but we are working on that. R* has been doing well with the quitting smoking and G* is doing well working his way down. They are progressing a little more slowly, but I have seen that they are really seeing the power of the Book of Mormon in their lives. It is really cool to see!

Another new investigator we have is a man from english course named U*. He is a brilliant guy and he thinks of everything very philosophically. We have continued to meet with him even though English course has ended for August. Last night we taught him the Plan of Salvation and I feel that it went very well. He asked really deep and good questions and we were able to answer well. He is awesome and I feel that he could have great potential. Next time we meet we are going to show him the Restoration video and then challenge him to read the Book of Mormon and pray about it. 

Anziano Jones and I are getting along very well and I am very happy with how things are going in this companionship! We are working hard and we are doing a lot, so it is great right now! This week I really have been pretty happy. I have been having really good personal and companionship studies and it has really helped me out in the work overall. Caserta is great! It is hot and humid, but it is also great and I love being here. An interesting fact that I figured out recently, Anziano Barone, my MTC companion, and myself have been in the Napoli zone longer than anyone currently in it. Just kind of strange. Anziano Barone is in Napoli and that is where he started off his mission. Pretty cool to think about that. The Napoli zone is the best, there is so much that makes it fun here! Well, this week has been good!

Sincerely,

Anziano Burton
