I don't think it gets much better than this.

WOW

So, I don't think it gets much better than this. This past Sunday was fast and testimoney meeting. We have this contact that has been coming to church for months, but just does it to pray to Jesus. Well, he got up to bear his testimoney. He's done it before and did a great job, so I wasn't really scared about what he would say. Well, he continued to say that as he came to General Conference he saw that all the members were there with their families, and they were all happy. He desired that his family could be there too, but knew that they wouldn't come. He began to think that maybe he shouldn't come anymore, but the next week while sitting at home he just felt so alone. He came to church, and said he felt so much love. Then he pretty much yelled that he wanted to get baptized, wanted to recieve the Holy Ghost, and waited for the person responsible to tell him when and what he had to do!!!!!!! It was a cool Sunday. So, we had a lesson with him yesterday. He has a cool house, and the lesson went very well. He had a bit of a problem with tithing, but he knows it's true. He's just scared of his wife who we met, and she was not happy to see us.

Other than that everything is going very well. English class is going really well. I have like 15 students in my class, and it's really fun. So, I have a request to make to all of you. I know that I have only one month left. I know that time is winding down. I know that I have to continue to keep working. I know all of this. None of you need to bring it back to my attention. I'm trying to stay focused, and I'm doing just fine. I'm not getting lazy or stopping to work. I'd really appreciate it if ya'll could honestly not write me these last few weeks. It will be better in the long run. I love you all. I'm really excited for next week becuase I get to go back to Bari to work on my permission to stay papers. It will be fun and great to see some more friends. I hope all of ya'll are very well. Have a wonderful week.

Vi voglio bene
