okay, last wednesday when we played golf, some old guy picked us up and took us to his practice range, it was nothing great, and we had some cheapy clubs to use, all irons were grafite shafts and the balls were pretty cruddy, but, it was golf, and i loved it! The guy also put in 4 holes, so we went out on his course and we played the four holes, each was about 350 yards except 1 par 3. I was striking the ball pretty well for not playing in 8 months. It was a lot of fun. Then these 2 rich guys came out and started playing with us, they had pro bags and nice mizunos, but, awesful golfers. They own the McDonald's here in Foggia, and it was funny, they thought that i was like a pro, so they want to take us to a nice golf course down in the Bari area, but, i dont know if we can do it. They also invited us over to lunch today, so, we'll see them later, but, one of the guys doesnt have any interest in the church, and when we see him today, we'll share a message with him, and if he doesnt want it, we'll tell the guy we cant see him any more, b/c our purpose here in italy is not to play golf...

As far as the work, we did a ton of finding this week and we're going to try to start working a lot more with members, we just need to get more investigators because as of right now, we have 2, i wanted to drop the others because they weren't progressing, so, these 2 are great, they have baptisimal dates on the 27th of March and they are a young married couple. The man is trying to quit smoking and coffee. We gave him a program that is great and we're putting all of our faith in God to help this guy. They have a young 1 and a half year old girl and previously they have had 3 miscarriages, so, this little girl is a miracle and the parents want this girl to have a hopeful future and they have tesimonies that this church will give her what she needs. They're awesome!!

Yesterday we had a zone conference and we talked about working with members more and getting them involved in the work, because as members, we are inclined to be missionaries as well. We have that responsibility to always share the gospel, not just as misisonaries. And we cant deny a friend or aquaintance from the possiblitly of accepting the gospel, we cant choose for them, so we need to give them that chance. This member misisonary work is something that i've been big on ever since i was with Anziano Wood and even before with the missionaries in Sweden. It works. Then after conference i got to talk with Anziano Nelson from down in Sicily, just over the phone. It was pretty cool, he's doing good.

Well, thats about it, not much else happened this week, we're going to keep working hard and we'll find some more investigators pretty soon i feel and hopefully Pasquale and Angela (the couple) will be able to continue pushing hard and they will be baptized on their scheduled date.

Anziano Packer broke a glass cabinet here at the internet shop a few minutes ago on accident and the people here in the shop are freaking out, even though its not a big deal, but, whatever, i think he needs to pay for it, they're taking all of his information and its like a CSI case, rediculous. Anyways, hope you all have a good week. Just be happy, and if you're not happy, smile and then you will become happy.. I dont know how it works, but it just does.
ciao, vi voglio bene
