Hi everyone!

So stuff from home first. No more hot tub? I'm sad.  Okay not really, I'm glad it's going to people who will use it. Good luck with everything, I'm not sure what you're talking about, but good luck with that talk about the trailers and the well.

More dog problems. Well, it's not something too drastic.

I really do expect Grandma to be gone within the next few months. Still think it'd be better for her. Let it go Gma. The Savior loves you and your family is waiting for you.

Wow, I forgot that football season started. Oh well, I'll be busy so probably won't care too much. Sounds like Dad is too busy also.

Well, where to begin this week? Good things happened, and then some other things that caught us off guard. But overall, a great week.

So, we first got all of Anziano Tew's permesso stuff done, we're just waiting for the appointment time, as they didn't give it to us at the post office, so just checking the mailbox every dya. Then we went to some caves with Federica and Alfredo, another English course student. I think Alfredo took the lessons in the past, and I just have the desire to ask, and see if he would take them again.

Then we had a lesson with Federica about tithing and fasting. It went rather well, until we started talking about fasting. She had a major concern about going without water for 24 hours. Food she was okay with, but water was the problem. We calmed her down, and she admitted that she would try it out on the 6 of Settembre and see what happens. But besides that, she's doing good. She wasn't able to come to church this week, as her parents put their foot down, but when we meet her this week, we're going to try and invite her this Sunday...well, I should say commit her.

Then there's Iole. We went on Wednesday to teach her tithing (the last thing we needed to teach her), and it went really well. We had some time left over, so we went over the baptismal interview questions with her. Well, there's question 4, and I always dread reading that one, but we did, and let's say there may be something that has to be covered by President.

So, no baptism this week, that's been postponed until the 30th, because now Iole needs to have an interview with President Waddoups (henceforth in my emails, to save typing space he shall be called PW. ) But we're going on Saturday and I already know that things will turn out all right. The Spirit told me that when I was doing the mock interview and later when I prayed about it.

Besides that, we've been doing a good amount of hunting down people. I've trying to get some member appointments set up so that we can go and start asking for some referrals, because I know the branch is working on that, so I want to start getting them to invite people.

Yup, that's how things are going. Anziano Tew is fantastic, a great person to have as a companion. I'm learning a whole heck of a lot from him, and he's doing some great things. He's still a little timid, and doesn't speak a whole lot yet, but he's going to be doing that this week. He's going to be taking charge in some of the lessons.

His language is okay, grammer wise. He still doesn't know a whole lot of words of course, but he's getting better everyday. I think him giving a talk on Sunday should help his confidence.

Okay, well, that's it for me this week. Next week, I'll let you what's down!
