Hosford Family,
The first thing I want to say is that summer here is
officially over. It’s still hot during the days but the nights are cooling
down. I am going to miss summer, but it’s nice not waking up all night because
of the heat.
The work is going well here. Only problem is that we don’t
have enough time to see them all cause we are busy and so are they. It’s nice
just to have a list of people to call.
Right now the people we see often are these: There is a kid named Salvo who is about to
turn 12 who will be baptized in these coming weeks. We are thinking the 21st,
but it might be the 29th. He is great, keeps the commandments,
involved in the ward, etc. We are also teaching his mother who is supposed to
be baptized with him, but she doesn’t do as much. We just want something to
click with her.
Then we are teaching this 50 year old (maybe older) named
Pietro. He sat a date/goal for the 29th of Settembre. We are seeing him about 3 times a week (he
became an investigator last week) and is progressing. We taught the restoration
and half of the plan of salvation. He agrees with everything but wants to know
if Joseph Smith was a prophet or not. We are going to see him today, even
though I will be in Siracusa. Hopefully, things go well today.
We are teaching this guy named Jay from the Philippines. We
have taught about the restoration and he said he would get baptized if he felt
these things were true. He was raised a Catholic, but doesn’t read the bible.
So our lesson with him today will be about reading the scriptures and why its
important then that will lead to the plan of salvation. We think the key for
Jay will be to read.
We have more investigators than those three. We made a list of all of them and we should
be having 4-5 lessons every day. Two a day with investigators and 2 a day with
new contacts, and then a member lesson.
Just it’s hard because everyone is so busy and I am glad vacation is over
because people won’t be busy or out of town anymore.
Other than that things are going pretty good here. The city is huge and still confusing, but I
am slowly learning it. Thanks for the family reunion letter. I enjoyed it.
Glad everyone is doing well. Love
everyone lots!
