well, i titled this letter "Austin" because that's ALL i heard about in my letters this week. but i'm happy for that. So if he's there at the airport for me, it would be really sweet!! but, lets not talk about that, i have lots of time left. Oh by the way, President Kelly is letting me extend a transfer so i'll be coming home the middle of august instead... haha, just kidding!! But, I'll skype you guys on the 13th and if 8pm my time doenst work for you, let me know so we can make some rearrangements. About MY mission now... It's been pretty intense this past week. We've had a few meetings with President ans Sister Kelly, pretty much just to plan this transfer out, and it's amazing how President is already talking about next transfer and the transfer itself with moving certain missionaries around. It's a lot of fun working with him. Anyways, our investigators are doing pretty well. We have Pietro, whos building the foundation of the temple, who we'll see tonight, and we have Edward, and Sariah and alsoa guy named Enzo. We're really excited becasue all of these people really want to be baptized. The only concern right now is we've been faced with a small problem with Sariah. Her father is the obstacle right now, and it's just laziness. They're not coming to church, but, we'll see what we can do for them. So, the work is going really well. Other cool and interesting things that are going on are just we have the Bari/Taranto Zone Conference coming up next week and we just had the zone leader council and we had all of the ZLs up here with us in rome. we have a mission goal to get 20 baptisms in the month of May. It would be the first time that this mission will have ever seen 20 in a single month. but, right now we have almost 40 baptismal dates for the month and we think we'll get it. A ton of other stuff has happened this week, but, you all know me and i dont remember things really well, but one thing that just came to mind is that it's never been so hard for me to write in my journal as its been these past few weeks. I'm all caught up, but, its tough because we have almost no time to do it certain days. I better get off the internet, my hour is just about up. I love you guys a ton!! have a great weekend!!
