February 2

Hello! I’m doing great. Life is good and the work goes on.
So this last week we had a really cool experience....we got an email last week that was a referral from a man for himself....He said that he agreed in eternal marriage and wants to be baptized....so we called him and set up an appointment...on Saturday we went out to see him in what we thought was the very outskirts of our area and it took us like 2 hours and 15 min to get there. We asked him where he found out about the church and he said online. I then asked him when and he said two years ago...He then told us he has been reading about the church and the Book of Mormon online for 2 years. He is amazing and we taught him about the restoration and he knew everything we taught him. He knew who the prophet is and is awesome...We also set a baptismal date for the 6th of March. Then after more research I found that he lives like 2 hours closer to Foggia and that he can make it to all three hours of church there and he would only make it to one hour of church here (traveling by train and bus) so on Thursday we are meeting him in a city with the Foggia missionaries to pass him off to them. He is 27 years old and is just awesome. It’s a bummer we can’t keep teaching him but we did our part and that’s all that counts...the Lord really does prepare people and this man, Donato (his name, means gifted) is really prepared.

Today we are going to Castellamare to play some soccer with our district and then tomorrow we are going out to meet Donato again. We are doing well and my companion keeps up with me usually ;) life is good and things are going well. We have zone conf on the 10th I think. Anyway I hope all is well and that you have a good week.
