Hey, i just wanted to let you know that bishop sent me a letter the other day and he said that you guys are all doing great and that you're awesome examples to everyone in the ward. So that made me really happy. So, at district meeting on Monday my zone leader brought down the birthday package that you sent me and then when i got home from Bari that same day, there were 3 mor packages sitting in front of my door. It was one of the best days of the mission. So, dont worry about the packages, they're all in my apartment now. So, just wanted to thank you guys for all that was in them, like the Arizona shirts, the disney cruise shirt and hat and pictures and the toothbrush heads (which are awesome) also the pajamas and the little toys and the sweet tie and the thing that holds the tie to my shirt, also all of the easter stuff and stickers and all of the candy, it's gunna take me a long time to eat all of it, its a ton, but, it will last a while and it was nice to get. Also the videocamera is pretty sweet, i took it to the isole tremiti (the islands of tremble it translates to) and i took some really cool videos there. They're just a few islands out in the adriatc sea between italy and Albania. I'll send you at least the memory card from my camera next wednesday when i print out pictures again so you can see the pics from the past few months. But, you dont need to send me any more stuff for a while, im pretty much set for a long time. You guys are the best though, you do too much for me. but it's all appreciated, so thanks a bunch for all of it.

i gotta go really soon, we were out of town all day yesterday at the islands, so i can only write you guys a little today, but just an update on the work here in Foggia... It's going good. We have 2 baptismal dates for the 30th of April and another a few weeks later. One is for a lady that has come to church for many years but hasnt found the need of being baptized until sunday. We went over to her house, ate lunch and then the spirit convinced her that it's something she needs to do. We're really excited for her. Also for the 30th is a young man named Favour, he's from Nigeria, and he's the man! he keeps his comitements and he just wants to be baptized. He's come to church 5 weeks in a row and he's the first time we saw him he basically said, when can i be baptized? Anyways, he's doing great and we're hoping to have him baptized next saturday as well as the lady, Anna.

My time's about up, but i want to get you some qucik pictures...
Love you guys,
