We're going to have a baptism on Sunday! A little guy named Gerardo is going to be baptized. His mom is a member, but the dad isn't, so I'm going to see what the Lord can do to get the dad baptized too. We're going to work hard for it! We're been praying SUPER hard and fasting for him, and for the Munoz family so that they can get baptized.

I have been developing a greater love for The Book of Mormon, and Nephi has been helping me out a whole bunch. I am learning more about personal revelation, and he says that if you keep the commandments and ask in faith, you will surely receive! It's a perfect message for a time when I need revelation more than anything.

Elder DeTavis and I are doing well and working hard to baptize. I'm grateful for the opportunity to see all of the Gospel's blessings, and I hope that we can help others experience them too. There are several new families we have found, and lots of other people that are going to be baptized too.

Ryan has emailed me and he seems to be doing well. I know he is feeling the stress and I told him all the best things I could. They're teaching him what he needs. All he needs from us is to hear our testimonies as often as possible, and as simple as possible so that his faith can grow with ours. He's getting used to the Peruvian food, apparently! Good for him.

I love you so much. The Gospel is amazing, and the way is simple! I pray for you every day and I know that the Lord is conscious of us in our personal and daily needs. I know that He answers with time and with grace. Thanks be to God for that. I love you!

Love,

Elder Talbot
