My dear family,

This week has been wonderful. I won't say much this time, because I usually use my planner to remind of things that happened, and I am carrying my new planner instead. hence, this may be shorter.

On friday, Candide got baptized. I mean... CANDIDE GOT BAPTIZED!!!! scuse me, I was a little confused. the baptism was awesome. Candide brought three of his friends who said they might be interested in hearing our message if we work through Candide. it was awesome. I now have done what anziano Jones wants too, cioè to baptize someone I found. On Saturday, we taught Edwin again, about the tree of life, and about Nephi's vision. He still wants to be Nephi. we also taught Candide about the priesthood. On Sunday, Candide was confirmed by Anziano Jones, who was SUPER nervous. he shook like a leaf. literally, as he was giving him the blessing, his hands were shaking hard. But it was good. He said something about finding a wife and getting married in the blessing, which Candide was pleased about, and which several of our YSA's took notice of. It was pretty funny when he told us later what he thought about it. Sunday night, we did a LOT of finding work.

Our Bishop, Walter Zafarana baptised Candide. He also directed. we sang Choose the Right, and Joseph's first prayer. Anziano Jones and Sorella Accardo, a member here, gave talks, about the holy ghost and baptism respectively. They were both good. after being baptised, Candide gave an awesome testimony, involving the dream I think I mentioned earlier. He is so cool. He was totally serious then, though. AND, he wore a sweet suit while he gave his testimony. I don't know where he got it, but it was good looking.

On monday (I have my planner now.) we had district meeting in the morning, to which Anziano Bona, from my MTC group came for the first time, which was a lot of fun. That night, we taught Candide, and then we had our serata familiare, where we found out that one of our members essentially doesn't have a testimony. So.. we taught a lesson about how to find one. It's unfortunate, that.

Tuesday, we taught a sister and her mother, about the family, and found out that their family situation is not a happy one, so we'll be teaching them the gospel, which should improve said situation. we taught Edwin again, about baptism, and what it is. he said he'll come to church when he's free. that will be fun, when he does. later, we had the best ward council meeting I've had here. it was awesome. we got everything we needed.

Today, we picked up Anziano Brawdy from the station, because the mission leadership (including his companion) are all in Milano doing a leadership conference till friday, so we're in a threesome with two areas till then. we went to the church, where we had an appointment, which fell through, so we instead talked and found a man named Mauro, who is interested, and I got his number, after giving him a tour of the church. We then had lunch with a family here, the famiglia Simoncini. they're awesome.

I don't remember the rest of my week. but Anziano Jones got sick, and now I'm getting sick. pray for me.

Vi Amo!
