We have been preparing for our training that we will be giving tomorrow. I am really excited. Very nervous, so please pray for me. I love the mission and the things that i am learning from it. I have to tell you about my mission hero, Anziano Pace. Elder Pittson is training him right now and he is so great. He has the biggest smile in the world and has so much love for everyone. He is 6 foot 5 and as skinny as a twig. He talks with everyone, spreading his great love, smile and laughter. He is so possitive and has so much faith. It is a pleasure serving in the same district as him. The members love him, even though he cant speak italian well. That's my favorite part because he doesnt let that get him down. It doesnt hold him back because he tries his very best to communicate and teach with all of his might. I love Cagliari. The members are wonderful. i would love to stay here for the rest of my mission, but i will go where the Lord wants me to go. The work is going well. Giovanni is praying to know if the 23rd of May is a good baptismal date for him. He is keeping all of the commandments that we have taught him so far. We only have a couple more to give him. The Gordillo family is doing well as well. Carlos is reading the Book of Mormon and is loving it. We talked with the wife and she wants him to be baptized so badly. I would love to see him and Giovanni baptized. I know that they will be. This last Friday was Sant Efisio who is a famous Saint here in Sardegna. The parade was huge and there were tons of people. We were able to talk to many people, especially families. That day i also cooked a delicious meal... horse heart. i wasnt a huge fan of the texture but it wasnt bad. I also made fried eggplant which was delicious. Well, I love you. I know that this church is true. God lives and loves us. Love, Elder Beau Brewster
