we had another really good week. We've been working with all of our
investigators and a few of them are making some really good
progress...
So we Margarita, and she's a 65 year old lady and we found her about 2
months ago doing house finding. She told us to come back later and so,
this past week we did. She let us in and just told us how horrible her
life has been lately. Her brother jsut died, her husband left her for
another woman a few months ago, her dad was murdered and i could
continue. But, these things have really pepared her for this gospel.
She feels the love of God and she wants to be baptized, so, we fixed a
day in the end of November for her baptisimal service. She needed to
go buy glasses so she could read the book of mormon. shes great,

then we have the cousin of Salvatore and her 9 year old son. This is
really cool. We went over to teach them for the first time on thursday
and they were shocked with teh spirit. I haven't really ever seen
something like it, but, they just couldn't speak, and they agreed to
read the book of mormon and they really wanted to see us again, so
they invited us over for dinner monday night and the spirit was good.
Then after rosa, the mom, told us that her son is stuggling in school
because he's been only reading the book of mormon lately. I couldnt
respond to her. but, i guess its a good thing. Anyways, they want to
come to church and they are really promising.

other than that, the work is going reasonably well, this last week, we
finalized the stuff for the few hogh schools we were talking with, and
one said we cant present our church there and another said that we
can. So im excited for that. We'll try going by some other schools as
well.

then this weekend, we had district conference and it was a lot of fun.
I got to see Anziano Nelson for the first time in the mission and it
was good talking with him. We talked about some of the good times our
dads had when they served the people of England, it was really cool.

Oh then some really dumb thing happened was that i had to sing this
dumb tenor part of a musical number during the district conference,
and i've never sung any tenor part, i didn't like it, but, it was all
good.

Just one problem here in the city of Crotone, and its a big one... our
branch. we've got a lot of fights going on between some members and
divisions and i honestly have no idea what in the world we can do,
but, we're trying, and i'm sure things will work out. It's caused me a
lot of stress though and i dont understand why some people are doing
certain things. we've organized a meeting between our branch president
and elders quorum president so they can discuss some stuff. I think we
need a branch council meeting, anyways, we wont worry too much about
it, there's only so much that we can do.

okay, well that's it for this week, the church is true, and always
will be. ciaoooooooo
