Reggia

Jesse in Reggia

Reggia 

Ok I'm going to start out by talking about the work in Caserta this week.We have been working with this one woman that has known the Anziani from  English course for about 1 year or so. They taught her when they met her and dropped her when she stopped making progress. We decided a few weeks ago to just take it slow with her and read the Book of Mormon together. This has made all the difference. She is now reading all on her own and we are just beginning to help her realize what the holy ghost feels like. She reads everyday and tells us how wonderful of a book it is!

Then there is another couple from English course that we teach. They are progressing really really fast here. We still haven't gotten them to come to church, but we talked about the spirit for the first time with them. They said they feel a really calming feeling when they are with the missionaries. I explained to them that it's not just these young men that bring this feeling instead it is the holy spirit and that they can feel it more as the read and come to church. They are committed to come to church this week. 

We had a baptismal date set for another investigator this saturday, but it feel through because she wasn't ready. We will keep working with her and helping her get ready we just don't know when she will be able to be baptized.

It was a really full week of lessons. 

For p-day we went to the Reggia again with the elders from Bari, They needed to come to Caserta to do some Permesso stuff and got to pass the p-day with us. It was so huge. This is the palace where star wars 1 was filmed. This place honestly put the Vatican to shame. 

I'm just loving caserta. I'm so lucky to be here in the Napoli zone. As long as vesuvio doesn't blow it's top while I'm here. 

Vi voglio bene
