Buongiorno!!!


Well, it has been a good week here in Cagliari! Anziano Garcia and I are working hard and it has been awesome! So, this week we started our plan for the less actives here. It has started off really well and we have found some less actives and one let us into his house and we had a nice spiritual thought. It has been going well. Going to the houses of all the less actives in the ward, we have seen that many of the members do not live at their houses any more unfortunately, so hopefully we will be able to clean up the ward list in that way also. This has been frustrating but it has still been going well. One of the less actives we tried to visit was out on his balcony when we walked up and when we rang the intercom he didn't answer and he closed his blinds and everything. Kind of funny. The leaders here have become very interested in this work we are trying to do with the less actives and they are going to begin helping us make these visits. This will be fantastic for the work here, because then we will be able to show the members how to check up on less actives and how to help them. The one man who let us into his house was very nice but said he was not wanting to come to church still. We had some questions prepared and we asked them and it went well. He was able to tell us how he met the missionaries and about how he gained a testimony and other things. We asked him if we could come back to visit him again and he said sure. Little by little we will get him back. 

Cagliari is finally working how it should be. Anziano Durham and Anziano Stewart are doing good and our house here has the spirit. We are seeing good things happening. This transfer inside the house we are trying to speak only in Italian. We will see how this goes haha. Anziano Garcia and I are getting along well and we are really happy with the work we are doing here. Of course it needs to get better always and it will get better. While we go to find these less actives we stop people along the way and it is good. We also plan to get referrals from these less actives. We have found that recently reactivated members give some good referrals. We have received and contacted some referrals this week and that has been good. I haven't really ever received referrals here from many people but with the less actives and recently returning people we are seeing more come out. 

La vita รจ bella! This week we have our specialized training with President, so that will be fun! Unfortunately the youth that we are trying to work with here are still not making progress and we are going to have to leave them. They aren't interested in the Gospel unfortunately. We are going to be doing a lot of finding this week while we go to search out these less actives.

This week has been a good week of hard work and I feel like I am on the upswing of my mission.  My mind has started getting into a good mode and I feel myself taking off.  It is good.  I am loving la terra Sarda!  It is awesome!  3 Oly guys is pretty sweet!


Well, That is all for today! Hope all is well at home! Also, a shoutout to my little bros, Seth and Jack, BUON COMPLEANNO!!!!! SIETE I MIGLIORI!!!

Sincerely,

Anziano Burton
