A LITTLE BOY WENT DOWN TO NAPOLI, BECAUSE HE MISSED THE SCENERY (DEAN MARTIN SONG)

haha I don't know if that is exactly how the song goes by dean martin but you'll have to look it up. We always sing it,  the "HEY MAMBO, Mambo italiano" song for the subject line.

Hey Everyone,

Well it has been a really great week!!. I have already fallen in love with Caserta and I know that there are people here that are ready for the gospel. Anziano B and I are ready to bring them the "great news". I am excited also to be in an area with many of the Americans and Italians so that I can learn from both cultures because I think that each one has something to offer. 
I feel that in my time here I will try to really focus on getting some referals from the members because they are all really strong and very helpful. The church organization really works here and I think that we can really use that to our favor. We also were able to go to a ward activity last Saturday on the American Base and I think that really helped others get to know us and us to get to know them and just to create a good relationship with them. It was perfect timing for us who are newly arrived!  Members and missionaries really need to come together to bring this work forward. Neither one of them can do it by themselves and I think the general authorities of the church are really trying to teach this especially recently.
In terms of work, it seems as though this area has had a lot of baptisms in the recent past and that calls for a lot of work with our new converts and helping them grow in the church. That along with the fact that we will be teaching our own people calls for a lot of hard work and so I am super duper excited!!
We do have two investigators that were going to be baptized here at the end of the month but they have decided that they want to wait until they can do it together in their home country of Austria. They came here planning to stay for about a month so they could get married but the papers didn' work out very well so they have stayed for longer, but during that stay they have met the missionaries, taken all the lessons and excepted invites to be baptized. We are very excited for them and we know that their short time here in Italy was for a reason and that reason was to meet the missionaries but more importantly come unto Christ. They already have the address there in Austria and have promissed us that they would go. They are both very strong spiritually and we are very happy for them and the family they are about to start and that they will be able to grow that family in a home blessed by the gospel. 
We are really doing "a great work" and we are so happy to be dong so. The pizza is just another little plus (by the way, IT IS SOOOOO GOOD HERE!!)  Have a great week everybody and remember, miracles do happen and they happen every single day!!!!

Love
Anziano Passantino
