We have been very busy and a little stressed out but it is all worth it. It is crazy because i just got my transfer call on monday and i leave tomorrow for.................................................................. Sardegna! I am a Zone Leader in Cagliari. I am in the same apartment as my son Elder Manwaring. I am so excited. I am way excited to be junior companion. It is about time! My new companion is Anziano Soro who is in my group and was one of my 3 roomates in the MTC. I am very excited! IT is so crazy because i never thought that i would get to this point i am so old but i still feel pretty young. I have 3 full transfers left and then 3 weeks, because unfortunatley i am coming home 3 weeks early. I think Cagliari will be my last city and then for my last 3 weeks maybe i will be in Rome. I am way excited for Giovanna's baptism! We have had trials after trials which has shown all of us that this is the right thing to do. We had her interview thursday morning. We were supposed to have it wednesday night but she was sick in bed, the zone leaders' train was late and then it's motor broke down so they had to get another train, it was raining and pouring a ton, and other little things just added to it, but it went so well. She talked with all of her kids and sisters and they are coming to her baptism tonight. Angelo told us on Sunday that he had to go down to palermo to work and didnt know when he was going to come back. He was the one who Giovanna asked to baptize her. We called him and he didnt answer us once so we supposed that he was in palermo still and couldnt come, but miraculously he got back today and he will baptize Giovanna. Today i am exhausted because we prepared the fonte, had a little flood in the bathroom, went everywhere and to add to it all my companion is a worry wart and stresses more than me! i know, it is hard to imagine but it is so true. I love him to death... today i especially love him to death... LITERALLY! h aha hah a. I love my savior Jesus Christ. I am so grateful for all that He has given me. He has made this baptism possible and we have seen countless miracles. Love Elder Brewster
