Missionary
work.... I'm doing it!
Man, It's like we talked just the other day (Mother’s Day) =)
It was great to see you and harder than you know to hang up. The
fact that I could see you all didn't help much either. After I was pretty
trunky and was thinking a lot about you all. But the more I thought about
it the more it really drove me and gave me strength to work harder and dedicate
myself even more to this wonderful work.
This week we did 2 exchanges with Poggiofranco. First off I
was with Anziano Perry. This is his 1st and last transfer in Bari.
He goes home in 3 weeks! He's a really good example and has a lot of
experience, (as he should after 2 years!) I learned a lot from him, more
than anything how to work with Italians and help them understand how this
message really applies to them.
Then with Anziano Meldrum, whom I've known since last July in the MTC
and we lived in the same house in Napoli. Now we’re in the same district
in Bari, way cool story huh? Needless to say, we've become great
friends. He is a really hard worker. He played football for Boise State
and there he learned how to find what you want and to work towards it without
getting distracted.
We also set a baptismal date with Francesco Natale. Sadly he
wasn't able to come to church due to a communion. But we are still
meeting with him and hoping to get him to the waters of baptism. He is definitely
humble enough.
Also we kind of set a baptismal date with Francesco de Nicolo.
He needs to figure out how he is going to organize his Sundays but he is
ready to get things moving.
This week there's a lot of potential for new investigators, which is
exciting. Oh and next Tuesday we're going to Napoli to pick up my Permesso!!
I'm so excited!! I'm not sure how it's going to work out so I might not be able
to write next Wednesday... we'll see. I just don't want you to worry if I
don’t e-mail you.
Well, I love you all and I hope you have a great week. Maren,
tell me how those singing lessons go. Mattie, what book are you reading?
Sara, how's softball. J, how's the bunny? Abby, how are you liking
stocking? What else are you doing with your time
?
I gotta get going.
48 Wherefore, my beloved family, pray unto the Father with all the energy of
heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all
who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may
become the children of God; that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is;
that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure. Amen.
Pray for help, it will come!!!

Vi Voglio Bene,
Anziano Stewart
