We are doing really well here in Caserta. The work is going well, we are still trying to grow our teaching pool but those who we are teaching are really showing some great progress.
We do have two baptismal dates for the week of conference. These people are both youth and Italian and we are really looking forward to having them become members here because they would be the only Italian ones that are active. The ward here in Caserta has made a goal to make this an Italian self-sufficient ward and we cannot do that if there are 0 italian youth here. They are very excited and have great testimony's of the gospel and how they can really recieve answers to their prayers. They are even sharing the gospel with their family members because they have found this joy for themselves they want everyone in their families to have the same thing as well.
Caserta is great, it is amazing to see a ward that is run correctly because of all the American members that are here and it really makes a big difference, the only hard thing is getting members to lessons when we have to teach in Italians. Hopefully they will show the desire and we will be able to help them with their desire!
This whole subject of how to get the Italian members excited about missionary work has really been on my mind the last week during my studies and my prayers! I know that we need to help them out and the only thing that has come to me thus far is just to love them. We have to love others, that is what gets them to work. Without love it is harder for others to have a desire to share this messagge with others so we really need to love them. I hope this will be something we can really work on here.
Have a great week everyone!!
Love Anziano Passantino
