Hey there family,
Another week has gone by and the work goes on. In missionary work the same thing happens again and again but it never seems to get old. You are always finding new people and trying to baptize them. It is very enjoyable work. What is even more neat is that you change so much as well as the people that you teach. It is really a lot of change. We are planning to have another baptism in two weeks. João Gabriel is a great 15-year old boy. He is a great example to his family. He is intelligent but also has a lot of talent. We are very excited about his baptism. I know that the gospel of Jesus Christ is true. I know that through my diligence and faithfulness many people will come to a knowledge of the truth. We have to endure to the end. It is the hardest thing to do but it is needed. It is just like the quote of President Hinckley. Put your trust in God and move forward w/ confidence and faith in the future. The Lord will not forsake us...He will never forsake us. We are to Go Forward w/Faith.
Well, my sister is coming home I just can´t believe how much time has gone by. It really is incredible. Happy Homecoming to you Ellen. May your days be lovely and bright. I love you all.
