"Ciao Everyone!
Sorry this email will probably be a little short. I don't have much time today. But first, thanks for the Happy Birthday and the money! I might use
it to buy some better soccer shoes or something. We have been playing a
lot of soccer here in Italy, and I really need to stop falling over!
I'm glad everyone is doing so well back home. Things are
pretty good over here. I know what you mean about the weather being hot
over there. It is pretty hot over here, too!
This past week, my companion and I took a trip down to Fondi to
contact some ex investigators. There, we met up with an African from Gana
named, Agostine. He is very religious and very interested in our message.
He invited two of his friends to listen in when we came over, and they
all bought us a ton of food and made us take it all with us when we left!
It was pretty awesome, and they were all super nice. The only
problem is, we found out that Fondi is just outside our area, so now we have to
hand them off to some of the missionaries in an area right over Napoli...
We've also been working with a little boy named Michele who
wants to be baptized. I think I may have talked about him before. I
just want to repeat that I FREAKING LOVE THAT FAMILY! The two little
boys, Luis and Michele, are super cool and they always want to show us their
pokemon cards and their toys. I also found a way to relate to their
non-member father when they pulled out the old guitar from the closet and
wanted me to play it for them. The father plays a little bit, too, and
when I started playing, that kind of opened him up to actually talking to us missionaries
instead of locking himself in his room the whole time we were there.
...One small step at a time!
We also had my second Zone Conference on my birthday.
Everyone got to meet the new President, President Whaddoups (I can't
remember exactly how to spell it). He is really cool. I think he
was some kind of state official or something before becoming mission President?
I don't remember exactly.
Other than that, this week was a lot of mostly tracting and
finding.
Until next time!
love,
Anziano Jared Burnham"
