Buongiorno Tutti!
Well, to start off, sounds like my family had just a pleasant and
peaceful week in Holladay, UT... I am so glad to hear that everything is
easy going and free from stress. I am glad Sam didn't get sick or
anything and then go to the hospital, and that no big disasters have
happened to the school musical at OLY jr, or that some crazy thing
happened at OLY high and Dad has to coach baseball or something. That
all would just be so crazy if all that, and more, happened in a week...
Good thing right... Haha! I have just been in Italy...
Well, this week for me has been pretty good! Unfortunately
allergies exist here in the Mediterranean also. I have been hit kind of
hard this week, so that isn't too fun. A lot of sneezing and stuff.
Hopefully it will go away soon. So this week we have had some fun things
happen! The investigator of the other Anziani, P*, got baptized!
Pretty awesome for the ward here! Also, this week, Anziano Garcia and
Anziano Stewart went up to Sassari for some Zone leader exchanges. I
stayed in Cagliari with Anziano Durham and we had a nice scambio. We
were able to go do some service for a elderly less active here in the
morning and then the rest of the day we had filled with lessons and
appointments. It was a nice scambio. It was also kind of strange, we met
an American guy who is working as an Architect here and it has been
soooooooooo long since I have hear some of those choice English swear
words. Always a nice to have your ears hear what it is like back in
America.... Haha. He was a very nice man though. We also had a man from
Senegal stop us on the street and try to talk to us about Muslimism and
stuff. That was interesting. Very nice man, but not very interested in
the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
It has been a little bit rough this week because we are just having
problems finding and retaining investigators. The nice lady that we
taught with the G* family, M*, ended up not being as interested
as she seems and this week and when we showed up at the Gs* home
she left. Kind of sad. We were also able to have another lesson with
G*, a nice man from Ghana who we met a few weeks ago. He was
invited to be baptized in April, he rejected a specific date but said
that if he came to know that it was all true he would be baptized. We
have been continuing our less actives work, but unfortunately we are
finding more and more wrong addresses and phone numbers. It is kind of
hard really. For some reason we are having a really hard time finding
people. This week has been good, and the spirit has been in the work, we
just have had some difficulties with seeing the success.
Anziano Garcia and I did the big spiritual thought for the fireside
at the ward last night. It went well and L*, Lc*, and M* came
again. It is strange, they reject to take the lessons but still come to
our firesides and activities. it is good I guess and each time they
enter the Church they have the opportunity to feel the spirit. Mayber
later on down the road they will really seriously try to find an answer
about the truth. I hope so. This week we also had our English course
party and that went well. We watched the movie, Finding Faith in Christ
with all the members of English course and they enjoyed it.
Well, that is all for this week, I hope all goes better this week!
Love you all! Oh, also, I made some Pizza at a members bakery...
Pictures are attached.
Love,
Anziano Burton
