By the way that is a new suit that I had made for the winter here by a professional tailor, for only about $90. He does suits for many of the missionaries in the mission. Nearly all.
Anyway this was the baptism and they were confirmed yesterday. We are also teaching another boy Andreí and a young man Marco. They are both great and progressing well. Andreí will be baptised Sunday and Marco the week of General Conference or before, hopefully the week before. His friend who brought him into the church wants to baptise and confirm him but can´t until then.
We are doing well and trying to find more people to teach. Teaching really can only be done by the Spirit, there is no other way. I have given my testimony every day, several times a day to bring in the Spirit and it is powerful. My testimony has grown an hundred-fold.
I´m grateful for everyone's concern for me and know that whatever happens the Lord is on our side. I love all of you and pray for you. Truly obeying the commandments and living a righteous life is the way to happiness. There is no other way. May all of you continue onward and find joy in our journey to perfection and righteousness.
[to Nathaniel] I'm teaching several young kids your age right now, preparing them for their baptism. Andrei will be baptised this Sunday! As for the weather--hot and dusty. With lots of smog. It rained a tiny bit once. My favorite food, I don't really have a favorite here. I do like nearly all the food though [a surprise because he used to be a very picky eater]. I'm really not so picky anymore. Anyway, one of my favorites is humita. Its like mashed corn cake that is nothing but the corn. Difficult to make. Anyway, I love you and glad you are having a great time. Chow, que esten bien!
