Chapter Three: The 5th Epistle of Anziano Stewart to the Bitontians


''My sports car has a wheels more shiny than that of my brother'' - English course student. =)

Well another week has flown by.  I hate it when it does that! In the MTC Fratello Silva told us to pray for a slow mission and that sounded insane!!! But it now makes sense.  On Friday (the 20th) I will have been out for 6 months. 1/4 of my mission…and it feels like a couple of weeks. Insane right?!

Well this week we started to do a lot more work in the other cities in our area. there’s 8 or so and each have a bout 50,000 people.  And miles of olive trees separate them all.  But we went to Terlizzi and did some publicità and finding.  Its a beautiful city.  We also went to Bisceglie and Molfetta.  Both of which are right on the coast and are beautiful!!!!

It's amazing the power of testimony.  Every time I bear testimony its strengthened.  And if the person receiving the testimony is open just a little bit and they exercise that particle of faith.  They receive a testimony from the Holy Ghost.  The only problem is when the people don’t want to listen... there were 2 men we talked with on the street and both have searched so long and hard for the truth they had become closed. Absolutely closed to anything.  It’s so sad to see and to have to accept that even though the truth they are searching for can be found in one chapter of this book, they refuse to read it…but that’s free agency for ya...

We also did a scambio with the elders from Poggio Franco.  It was sweet.  I was with Anziano Curzola.  He’s 1 month old and from northern Italy.  Already he is an amazing example.  Its pretty cool to be with a verdino (greeny) they are something special.

At district meeting Anziano Pedriera gave the teaching and it was great! He’s incredible.  He talked about how it’s our right to baptize and if we don’t then we are actually of the devil.  (A little harsh I know, but he’s from Uruguay, that’s how they roll) it was sweet!

Its great to hear from grandma and Abby and dad and mom this week, there was so much to read it was great! I don’t have much more time but I hope the sleep study goes well and that grandma can continue to be great.  That’s crazy about Mattie reading Lord of the Rings.  Sara needs to do something about all that Wii time.  And Abby that’s a pretty sweet schedule you’ve got going.

I love you all and hope you continue to choose the right!!!! Thanks for your support and all your prayers.
