What a good week we just had. We have 5 baptisimal dates set and we're pushing forward. Some missionary is going to be comming to Foggia next thursday with a nice little surprise. As far as right now. Anna Piano is getting baptized this Saturday, however, we cant call her to see how things are going (because she doesnt want us to, only because shes really busy). But, were hoping for the best and we feel like she's ready. Then we've got little Stefano. He's the man, our little 10 year old who cant wait to get baptized, but, the problem with him dad... We figured out that things aren't going to well for stefano's parents, they are going through a divorce and the dad is uncooperable, if thats even a word. However, stefano's mom, who is a member, hasn't told the dad yeat, who is a catholic, and we're pushing her to have the courage to do so, becuase we need his permission as well to baptize him. Also we've got Emilio who is kind've a pain, this is the guy that lives 100 miles away and he's not really progressing. He finally got his license and he's working on the insurance so he can start coming to church, and once he starts coming, he will be able to get baptized. We recently also found a couple families, one lives close to us and the other in a different city. But, we found this family and we taught them the first lesson and it went well, then the next lesson only the 24 year old son was home and we spoke to him and set a baptisimal date with him, he's reading the Book of Mormon and praying and he's the man. He has a huge testimony of Christ. The last family is from Africa, we found them as we were finishing some of Anziano Packer's documents. It's a family of 5, the parents have 3 daughters ages 2, 5, and 9. They're awesome, we visited them yesterday and we could only teach Charles, the dad and he's been looking for the truth for 20 years, he loves his family and wants to know how he can be with them forever. So, our message was appealing to him. We set a date for the 11th of June with him. Him and his wife have been in italy for 20 years and they speak perfect english and italian, they're legit. We're gunna baptize them!!

Also, i've been studying the new testament a lot an i found out why the boccio (kiss) is so common in italy. People always doing the cheek kissing, anyways, it's becuase Paul told them to about 2000 years ago. (Romans 16:16) it's actually probably not where they got it from, but, i made that connection. Last thing, yesterday evening after planning, me and Anziano Packer were bored and we saw a box of jellybeans that the fam sent me and in this box there were 2 of each color jellybean. however, one of each was a good flavor, and one was a nasty flavor like skunk or dog food or vomit, something like that. So, me and Anziano Packer each took the same colored jellybeans and ate them, one of us would get the good jellybean, the other would get the gross one. Well, we did this untill we finished the box, which wasn't too many, and the only thing i learned from this activity is how bad my luck is. Out of the 15 jellybeans i ate i only ate 2 that were not disgusting, anziano Packer on the other hand got 13 tasty ones. Anyways, that was the week, not much else went on. We're excited for Foggia's short future and we get the call on saturday to who's going and who's staying.

Love you guys,

Anziano Lane
