Just as an FYI. Four months from tomorrow Anziano Eads will be coming home!!!! Just 17, YES, 17 more emails (plus one of those is a Skype for Christmas).
Hey you guys!
Sorry I couldn't be there for grandma's funeral and that I couldn't write right away. I just couldn't do a lot of it this week with it being transfers....I'm sorry....
But anyways, things went really good then? I'm glad. Wow, good amount of the family was gathered, that's impressive. Sorry the weather went bad, but it happens. I honestly don't know what to say about all of that.
Okay, so Mom: Glad you enjoyed the letter. I poured my heart and soul into that thing, and thanks for gma's stuff. Nice to see it.
Not too much has changed. Oh well, that's okay. Glad you enjoyed Halloween, it isn't super big here, but there are a few kids who go trick or treating, so it's not too bad, makes finding a little difficult but not too bad.
Dad: Man, from Mom's comment have you lost weight, pretty sure we won't recognize each other at the airport. Sorry things are busy, but I'm praying for you, and for the charitable service you have done, you will be blessed.
Well, I've made it to Napoli and things are going pretty good. The train ride wasn't too bad, we got into Napoli around 9pm, but then had to sit around in the train station for forever, but no biggie. I'm super happy about being here and the Lord has blessed us already with some wonderful miracles.
My new comp's name is Anziano McArthur, and he's only a transfer older than me, so if you are wondering, then yes, I think I'm dying (finishing the mission) here in Napoli. We'll do two together, I'll kill McArthur, and then get a new comp and then die. I'm okay with that.
He's quiet, but a pretty funny dude. I think we'll get along fine.
Napoli's okay. I've learned a few tricks to keep my things from getting stolen and I have the Lord's help so I'm not too worried about it. I always check my things though, like every 30 seconds or so. I'm already paranoid so it helps.
For Dad: Anziano Tew stayed in L'Aquila,. but the rest of the district got pretty scattered.
So, how are things right now? Well, after getting into Napoli, and planning out the week, we got like 10 referrals and managed to contact almost all of them, and most of them expressed an interest in hearing us, in fact we got a new investigators from these referrals, and the Lord is definitely blessing us!
So this new investigator is named Isuru, and he's from Sri Lanka and he's really cool. He was looking for a christian church to join in Italy, and we called him. He's pretty sure that God is leading him down this path, and I'm sure he's correct. We have invited him to read the Book of Mormon and he said he's going to.
We also got two new investigators from English course. Rosanna and Valentina are a mother and daughter who have expressed interest in the church, and have already come twice. We met with them and taught them the Restoration, and it went really well, and they accepted the invite to read and pray to know about the Book of Mormon. No date as of yet, but we're working on it.
I also met with Anna and Francesco, two of our new converts and they are an amazing family. She has a super strong testimony and Francesco does as well, he's planning on serving a mission. Anyways, we taught about the importance of scriptures and they really appreciated it. They promised to start reading the scriptures mores.
So overall, a pretty decent first week. We're going to be contacting the rest of these contacts and setting up appointments with them to teach them the restored gospel. I think we're going to see the Lord's blessings more and more over here. I know for a fact that the Lord is helping us out.
