May 27, 2013


Dear Family,

This week was fantastic.  We had a great Zone Meeting about true growth in the church coming as a result of TRUE repentance.  It was inspiring and everyone left there feeling like a million bucks.  We baptized a recruit named Thompson this weekend and confirmed him right there on the spot.  It was really cool!  They have a baptismal font in the ground that fills up in like twenty minutes and it was in the middle of one of the chapels.  Thompson was telling us that he was feeling great and that he is excited to get home and tell his parents about the changes that he has decided to make in his life by becoming a member of the church.  

Today we had a zone P-Day, a rarity for the Savannah Zone...  We played baseball on Parris Island with a member and a bunch of other missionaries.  They came up from Savannah and the surrounding areas to play.  We went to a museum afterwards and learned about the history of the Marines.  I don't think I would ever put myself through that.  I guess a mission is kind of like the spiritual equivalent though!  

It sounds like you are having a LOT of fun in Italy.  I would love to be there with you.  I saw probably all of the pictures you posted on Facebook and it really does look like a dream.  It's amazing!!  I hope that you have a great last week!  What's the best thing you have eaten???  

Love,

Eric
