Hey family how’s it going? Things are going well here. Zone conference got moved to the 19th so President came and did interviews yesterday. That was fun. He took us out to lunch and ice cream after. I did get my packages and letters so thanks so much.

I bet the car lift has been a project but that will be really neat when it’s all said and done. Mom sounds like your picture class is going well.

Okay I don’t have too much time but this week we baptized and confirmed those 6 young men, and they still call me Dad ha. And there families came. There were 16 people there to watch and none were members so that was sad but it was so cool. And the best part was that all 16 - yes 16 people - all went home in ONE car hahaha - a little 4 seater 2 door car - 16 grown people! I’ve never seen anything like it. I thought it was physically impossible but I was wrong! But these families are so great; they know it’s the true church. The parents are all working on getting married so they can get baptized but it’s not so easy to get married here because these people don’t even know when they wore born. Seriously they have no idea. They don’t have birth certificates or anything, so it’s hard but we’re working with them. They said one time they took a class about how our church is about the devil and it taught so many bad things, but yesterday she said “but no, I just know that that is Satan working against OUR church because it’s the one true church with the priesthood - and a prophet.”

Here are some really, really basic things I have learned about the church that we teach that I had just never thought about. 1) This is the exact church that Jesus Christ started when he was on the earth. If a church doesn’t have a prophet at it’s head, as was Jesus Cristo in that time, and 12 apostles and the priesthood... then it’s not the church of Jesus Cristo. It’s that simple.

So yeah I love you guys and miss you. I’ll try and send the voice clip now. Love you. Chow.
