Hey Family!

I got your letters and the package this week! It made me super excited. I had forgotten how sweet skittles and starbursts are, and I can´t even eat half a pack of skittles without feeling like I´ve eaten too much.

I really loved the photo book! It's good to see how everyone has grown.

This week, we almost baptised a 19 year old boy. We interviewed him and everything, and everything was going right. We put water in the font, and invited the members, but when the hour arrived, we couldn´t find him anywhere! We went to his house, and tried going to his work. We wandered in the rain for 2 hours, but it didn´t work out. :( He´ll have to be baptised next week.

The good news was that at the same time, a man showed up in Elder Tenney´s ward who wanted to be baptised. He´d already been taught by other missionaries in the past, and everyone else in his family was already members of the church. I interviewed him, and he seemed to be a perfect baptism candidate. He was baptised in the water that I had put in the font, and his family was SO happy that he had finally taken the decision to be baptised in the true church. I feel like everything that happened this sunday happened for a reason.

I can´t think of much else to write, and I´m out of time, but I love you guys! The church is true! Next week I´ll talk to you on a Wednesday because of transfers.

Love, Elder Forsyth
