If you could pray for us to find a family that would be great. We have a few family contacts but we need strong family investigators. Cagliari needs strong active families. They will be such a great ward some day and Sardegna will be an amazing stake... they just need to step it up. The members need to do their part. It's a lot easier than they think it is to share the gospel with their friends. Giovanni is doing great. He passes and prepares the sacrament. His hometeachers are teaching him all of the after baptism lessons. He is doing a little missionary work with a friend. I love this man to death. He will be a great leader of the church. Carlos is doing well spiritually. Physically, not so well because his knee is broken in 5 places and is hurting him preety badly. We had a great lesson with him and his family last week. It was on patience and the spirit was beautiful. I sure love that family. I love the mission with all of my heart. I am so blessed to be in this mission, at this time with this mission president as Zone Leader in Cagliari, with my companion. The Lord is blessing me so much. I am truly grateful for everything that he is giving me. This morning we went to the devil's saddle again. I love that place. It is my revelation spot. I feel so close to God when i pray and read my scriptures there. I had a great exchange with Elder Rogers yesterday who is the sr. Assistant. It was a blast and we saw many miracles. We got 3 new contacts and talked with elect. I am so very grateful. I learned many things about myself yesterday. I realized that i need to trust in the Lord so much more. I need to not stress nor worry for that puts full reliance on myself and not on the Lord. We had a couple in church that became new investigators on Saturday. They are interresting and have made mistakes in their lives. In fact a few members were scared when we brought them into church. But they enjoyed it and felt the spirit. I want to help them change their lives. Isnt that going to be great? We also had a miracle right after they became investigators. We went to Massimo's house to say hi and to leave him a note. He is an old investigator that we havent seen for a while. He wasnt there so we wrote a note and left it for him. I wanted to go to another part and find people or stop by people but it didnt seem right. It felt right to stay in that area. So we prayed to know where to go and we both felt that we needed to stay there. So we knocked that palazzo that we felt impressed to knock when we found Massimo. He was the 1st one that answered 2 months ago. Since then we never wrang the other houses. So we did it and on the 4th floor one man was on the phone and said to come back in 10 minutes. We returned in 10 minutes excited for the chance to present our message rather than having them see us and say right away, sorry, i cant or it doesnt interrest me. He let us in even though he didnt have a lot of time. Come to find out. He went to our english class with a handicap kid that he would assist. They gave him the Book of Mormon and explained our message. He forgot a lot about it because it was a long time ago. He did read half of the Book of Mormon though. We gave him a new one and taught him. We set up a follow up appointment for when he returns in 2 weeks. He is an airplane worker so he is gone often. Talk about a miracle. I love the mission. Love it, love it, love it. Love, Elder Beau Brewster
