40 Days Fast

Buongiorno Tutti!

Well, things are just going along nicely here in Oristano! We have had a good week and I am happy! So this lady from English course, R* is pretty awesome! On tuesday we met with here a little bit after and also two of her friends and we gave her the Book of Mormon. She had sooooooo many questions and she kept telling us that she is really interested in what we have and what we believe. That is pretty great! She is awesome! We weren't able to set up another meeting this week, but we called her and talked with her on the phone a little bit. Even on the phone she had a lot of really great questions and she is really excited. Tomorrow evening we will meet with her and officially teach the Restoration, so that is going to be fantastic! This week we had three investigators in Church. It went well! G* came with his family, S*, this girl that a member is going out with, and E*, the husband of a newly baptized lady named K*. That is pretty sweet! We set up an appointment with E* this week and during Church I was able to talk with him a bunch and we became friends! On Tuesday we will meet with him and his wife and we will be able to talk with them and see if we can recommit him to baptism. Hopefully we will be able to drive out to Orosei to meet G* this week, we will just have to see. As for S* she has told us that she is going through a little bit of a rough time right now and we are trying to set an appointment to meet this week and continue her progression that the other Anziani started before us. On Sunday our church building was filled to the brim and people had to stand in the back, it was pretty incredible. Things are going well for Oristano and the work is moving along. It is great! So, Anziano Flynn and I have decided to try out this 40 day fast thing of all of the little things we could do better as missionaries to help us focus better on the work and the people we are working with. I am pretty excited for it. It is going to be hard and stuff, but it will be awesome! We are going to see some pretty great things. I am excited to work this week and just see awesome things. We will begin it tomorrow morning.

Overall, this week has been good! We have done some good walking and talking, and this next week we are going to do even better. Life in Italy is good and goes on. It got pretty hot again this week, but overall the heat is going away slowly. It is nice. I am excited for September and all the kids going back to school here, it will help move the work further even more. Hopefully this week we will be able to land some baptismal dates, we are going to try really hard to get some, it will be great!

Well, that is all for today, life is good! Hope all is well at home!

Sincerely,

Anziano Burton
