Hello Spring!
What a week.
Oh, I almost forgot to tell you about transfer calls...Anziano Miller and me are staying! Sweet right!? At the end of this transfer were going to have spent something like 2300 hours awake together. Nice right. I'm really excited and know that we can really make a model zone of Bitonto. We can already see results this week. We've been doing a lot of finding and I really like it. =) Oh, and Anziano Pedriera is the District Leader now, I'm really excited to have him as a leader. He is one of the best teachers I've met.
On Sunday we were waiting in church, expecting a new convert. As we were waiting, a man (Massimo) walks in and says that he wants to learn English (we've done a TON of publicity for our course). So we said great! And then he stopped us and said "but even more than that, I want to learn about your religion." We weren't sure what to think we were so shocked but we said "Great! Would you like to have a short lesson right now?" And we taught him and set up another appointment. It's such a blessing because we've had trouble actually meeting with our contacts. We've doubled, maybe tripled our potential investigator pool but meeting with them is pretty hard. So this miracle really helped us.
Quickly, I want to talk about how much I love being with Anziano Miller. It is so easy to work with him!! He really has a love for this work, and the Italians. His mom told him I don't talk about him enough so; I decided to talk about him a bit. =) She also say's Dad doesn’t put the right dates or update the blog weekly!! =)
Antonietta came to church again with her daughter. She is coming along well. She is pretty excited about Stake Conference but I'm afraid she's not reading...
Dad asked what I presented to the district. I used D&C 64:33-34 as a way to encourage them to:
1-work
2-strive to do so with the spirit and
3-look for the small things in work and in life.
It was great to hear from you Grandma Batty. And thank you for the package; I can't wait to receive it! My only request would be Laketown raspberries. =) But, sadly, I don't think you can send those to Italy... This week the weather was great! It actually bugged me that I have to still wear a jacket. I can't wait for General Conference.
Oh, Sorella De Feo went CRAZY when I told her about Sorella Weyland. She was asking me all kinds of questions that I had no answer to. She asked me how to find her on facebook. Do you think you could help me out with that...I had a question about that SD card I sent home in one of those packages. Were you able to restore it? I hope so because there were some good memories on it.
I'm sorry to hear about Mattie’s ears... let me know how it goes. What ever happened with Saras wrist? Maren, that’s great that you’re teaching J school but you need to think about the other things you teach her too. You're her big sister and she really looks up to you, make sure you set a good example for her to follow. Sara, how are those green smoothies? =P Still your favorite? I hope so!
Man, I really miss you guys. But I couldn't be happier than where I am right now. I know The Lord is "silent notes taking, of every action” big or small and that in the end all of our "losses" will be made up. And that is really what keeps me going sometimes. I read a talk this week by President Eyring where he talked about Isaiah 40:31 and waiting upon the Lord. He made a wooden sign for his son a long time ago and wrote "On eagles wings" referring to this scripture. This is also true. I'm grateful for you all and all you do, your prayers, letters, and thoughts. I love you. Ciao.

Vi Amo,
Anziano Stewart
