Alright, im in the new city and life is moving forward. First off, when i told the members in Terni last week that i was moving to Foggia they were sad, not necessarily that i was leaving, but becasue Foggia is not a very pretty city. Then when i met my new companion, Anziano Packer from Ogden, i asked him if it really is like the members in Terni were saying, he said yes, he told me that italy had a survey of about 130 cities about cleanliness, climate, beauty, everything, and Foggia is 3rd to last, haha. Well, i got here and its incredible, i really love it, its a big city, way bigger than Terni and its great. Im really excited to serve here. Our appartment is right next to the church, yep, we have a church and a ward here in foggia, but its weird, because we dont have as many members as terni, and terni's only a branch. Anyways our members are great, i love them and our bishop is a tiny old man. hes really a stud when it comes to church business and missionary work. The work on the other hand is a little slow right now, only becuase Anziano Packers old companion had to go back home in the middle of last transfer and anziano packer had to go stay with the Bari missionaries, but, its going to change quickly. The work is going to get going fast. We have an investigator, her name is Anna and she has been coming to church for about 5 years, but is not baptised. Last week we went to her house and invited her to be baptised and she accepted. She said she wants to do it in the sea and we're really looking forward to it. She is an incredible lady. she is definitely and elect daughter of our heavenly father, she's about 50 something and her spirit is incredible. Me and my companion have talked about how we're going to work this transfer and far as what we're going to do. Somthing that i learned form Anziano Koozer is that as a missionary, you need to work smart, dont waste your time and energy doing things that arent very effective. You gotta work with the members! So, me and Anziano PAcker are going to do as much member work as possible. In Terni we saw a lot of sucess from it and its only going to continue here. But, we got a nice amount of refferals a few days ago and yesterday we went to the city of Bovino to contact them. Bovino is probably the most incredible city ive ever seen. Its one of italy's most beautiful midevil cities, so i've heard. Anyways, we went there and the people there were incredible as far as listening to our message, its a city that not many people go to and the population is only about 4000. But, we're going backnext week to do some teaching. But, im really excited to serve here in Foggia and im going to do as much as i can to fulfill my purpose, to invite souls to come unto christ...

Love you all,
Anziano Lane
