June 5th....
Well to start out this week we have some good news. Our investigator is ready for baptism and we will be holding the baptism this Saturday! It took a lot of work to get there, but he is so ready. The Atonement is an amazing gift. The wonderful thing about the Atonement is that it isn't just for sinners! It's for you, me and everyone around us. It can help us with the pain we feel when we have lost a loved one, or someone who doesn't think they are good enough for the people around them. If we just put our faith in the Lord he will make our burdens light, no matter what your going through. Use it! Thanks for all your love and support!! Hope everyone has a good week!

June 12th....
Well this was such a cool week! So much happened!! So first this week we had a scambio (we switch companions for a day) with the Anziani from Lecce. I was able to go with Anziano Jensen. He is a good guy and has a great testimony. Then later in the week we got some haircuts. On Sunday we were able to go over to a members house for a pranzo appointment, and it's been since we have had one so my stomach wasn't ready for it. Haha it was a lot of food but miraculously I made it through. These people are so generous when it comes to meal appointments! But the highlight of the week was definitely our investigators baptism! Wow was that so exciting. He is such a good guy and has a strong testimony. Haha the font was pretty cold though. After we got out I asked him how he felt and he said "I feel really good, like a new person, but I am also really cold". Haha I agreed and we had a good laugh.

After the baptism our investigator said something really interesting. He said "I want to tell others about the gospel now so they can see the light that I see". He had never felt the gospel in his life, and now that he has, and he realizes what a blessing it is, he wants to share that with others. Just like Enos he felt " I began to feel a desire for the welfare of my brethren" (9). I think the more we become converted the the gospel, the more we want to share it with other people. I have definitely noticed that lately in my life. This week try and look for someone who doesn't have the gospel in there lives and share with them the "light" that we feel everyday in life!
I feel like he is the reason I've stayed in Brindisi, it will be so hard to leave everyone I've met. I've made some lifelong friends and I've been taught by some of the best people ever. Thanks for all the love and support! Have a good week everyone.

June 19th...I've been Transferred!

| Anziano Fryer and I |
I’m now in Napoli and its awesome! Wow, it's been a fun week! It is definitely a lot different from Brindisi! I think I am starting to get the hang of it! My companion Anziano Fryer is awesome, I love serving with him. This will be a fun transfer. The members here are so fun too! This Saturday we had an activity to try and bring out the less actives and investigators. We just wanted to have some fun, and share a spiritual thought at the end. It was cool to see how the members interacted with the less actives and our investigators.
We have an investigator we are working with right now and he is awesome. I think this week we are going to be able to have some really good lessons with him, and hopefully get a baptismal date set! We’ll see. We’ve also had a solid amount of finding this week. Here you have so many different places to find, so it's actually pretty fun haha. Hopefully we'll be able to find someone interested in the gospel here pretty soon.
This week our district has been trying to focus on charity. In Moroni 7:47 it says "But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him." Charity is the pure love of Christ! When we try and have that pure love of Christ we strive to obey the commandments of God and you start feel a greater love for the people around you. I have definitely seen a difference when I try and do my best to have charity. I am a lot more happier and willing to help out others in anyway possible! Thanks again for the Happy Birthday wishes! Hope everyone has a fantastic week! Love you all!
