Well you are all probably tired and everything but I am glad you had fun. It isn´t fun being sick though. Well anyway, things have been going well for us. Valentina was baptised yesterday and that went well. There is no greater joy than that. At least for what I have known. It was a great experience, the photos are attached.






As for everyone else, well that could go better but its going well enough.

We have activated a family and their 8-year-old daughter will be baptised next week and we have some people set up for the next week. It will happen.

Well, right now I don´t really have all that much to say. I will tell you an experience I had Saturday. We were inviting people to take an open tour of the Chapel and no one was listening. After a while we switched so that I was singing in front. Our zone leaders showed up late with some extra hymnbooks, and then the older one turned around, saw someone and contacted her. Immediately he found the one person interested of the day. She went in, listened and then even accepted to prepare for baptism in three weeks when she knew it was true. Sometimes it is amazing how the Lord works. His grace is with that Elder, that is for sure. That was amazing to see. I would like to be able to do that but I just have to be content with what I have been given, and I have been given much. Well, thats one interesting story from the last week. Anyway I hope everyone is happy and doing well. I love you all and hope you enjoyed the trip immensely.
