Alright, not much happened this past week, but, Pina, our incredible progressing investigator is doin awesome! We were able to meet with her 5 times last week and we already have everything taught to her. She came to church and President Kelly is making a special exception for her to be baptized early, so, instead of the normal having to be in church 3 times before baptism, she only needs to come this next sunday and then she can be baptized the following saturday. She is super prepared for this church. She doesn't smoke, doesn't drink alcohol or coffee, and she's down with all of the commandments. We just gotta keep pushing forward though becuase she's not baptized until she's baptized. She really is our only progresssing investigator right now . We have Stefano, but his mom just keeps procrastinating talking to her husband about the baptism of their son. We also have Charles and Costance, two Africans that aren't coming to church, so, if they dont come this next week, we're going to need to drop them. But overall, my almost 6 months here in Foggia have been incredible, and i dont want this sucess to stop, so, we just gotta keep up with the obedience and have the desire to baptize.

Btw, its getting pretty hot here, i'm buring up and the humidity isn't helping, but, im openly welcoming the heat because no weather is bad weather for missionaries. (Actually i really dont like the mosquitoes, they're so dumb, i dont understand why they like to attack me). Also this week we got to play soccer for an activity that a member organized, and it was us and a few other members that dont know how to play soccer and we got beat pretty bad. So, next this week we have to make these kids lunch. The soccer idea i think is really good, it gets the kids here in our area involved in the church and we get to talk to them and about the church, so, i think there's possibilities of baptizing some of these guys. The nice thing is that we have a soccer court/field at our church, so, they come to chruch and play.

Well, unfortunatley, thats basically all that went down this week, i'm loving the mission, i wish it could go on forever because this truly is without any doubt, the greatest opportunity that i have ever been given, and the greatest blessing.

Love you guys, have an awesome week and we'll hear from each other next week
