Re: Back to winter BRRRR 4-17-13

I'm so freaking jealous of all the snow in Utah. In fact I really really missed the mountains and the snow when I saw the back of Heathers wedding invitation. The chances of seeing snow here are practically zero percent. I heard about the Boston marathon from one of the english course students yesterday morning. Maybe dad should think about taking a few years off from the marathons if people are starting to target them.

Ok on with the week. The work picked up alot this week. At the start of the week a member invited us to come with him to go visit a less active family that is now accepting visits from the missionaries again. We went and took a small spiritual thought just to see where they were and how they felt about the church after being away for so long. They were really nice and really open about everything. At the end we asked them to come back to church this sunday. Sure enough sunday they were there for sacrament meeting and they seemed to really enjoy it. Hopefully they will come back for good and become strong members again. 

One of the investigators we have been working with for a while to agree to baptism now has a baptismal date for the end of the month or the first week of may. We started teaching her a lesson in church and she stopped us and said "I want to tell you about my dream" she had a dream about baptism and confirmation and now feels it is time to be baptised. The lord works in mysterious ways. We are really excited for her. She just needs to get married to her husband and she is clear for the baptism. We aren't sure about the date because of this, but they are working to get the wedding organized now. 

P-day today was really fun. We went to Bari to play some soccer. We got together with all the elders in Bari and played for a few hours. The soccer Field was the coolest. It was about 30 meters away from the sea. The beaches here are so beautiful. 

I'm still in Bari because there is zone conference tomorrow and I'm sitting in an Internet point so sorry if the email this week is really short. There were really more things I wanted to say, but they are all in the journal so maybe next week.
