Everything is going well here and we are having fun. Due to certain
circumstances we didn´t have a full week of work but we are doing
well. I did get the package but I still don´t have it. I will get it
soon. I wasn´t there to pick it up this morning. As for my week to
come, it is the last one with President Moran, my birthday and I get
to go to the Temple on my birthday Wednesday.

Things are going well but we have had some problems with investigators and recent converts. Every one of them nearly with their marriage. But other than that
things are going well. We are teaching two people in particular that
are great and progressing quickly. They have accepted to be baptised
now it is just a matter of getting them to church and to fulfill their
other commitments and requirements for baptism.

As for the photos, I will get them to you sometime. They will come, don´t worry.

Well I´m glad everyone is doing well and happy. Just remember to be patient
and enjoy it, even the difficulties. It will be a long time before
you can do it again. Well, I am doing well and happy. Sorry that my
message this time is a little short. I took all my time writing
Janai, Carlene and Dad. There are more details about some things in
each of those but just remember I am doing very well, learning and
growing every day. The Lord does the work here and no one can
frustrate it. He will get it done. I love you all and pray that you
are doing well.

Talking about Temples I have the opportunity to go again this Wednesday, on my birthday.

This is the last week for President Moran so things are going to be changing for me as well. And it looks like when some of the family have a hectic life, all do. This last week has been interesting. I explained it to Carlene and Janai, that our whole district, the four of us in this ward, have gotten sick. The other three enough to stay in bed. I worked every day as the third just got sick but still we didn´t get a full week in. I have now truly experienced some of the blessings that I have learned about before.

As we teach, the physical symptoms all stop, and we can teach with clarity and power even when sick. It is truly amazing. But true, life is good. I´m glad everyone realizes at least a little bit what is truly important about everything that is happening with the wedding. The fulness of the Gospel comes through the Temple and it provides us a way to recieve blessings that are not known or
understood in this world. The world does not understand it.

Well, I love you and am glad things are still going well. I hope you can enjoy everything and have a powerful, spiritual experience with everything.
