Dear Everybody,

I don't have too much time, we had fun today so that takes away from computer time of course. . .

We had a baptism this week! Carol was finally able to be baptized. It was the most touching baptism I've ever been a part of. She's the most innocent person I've ever taught, and she had the most sincere desire to be baptized of anyone I've known.

Also, it was questionable whether or not she'd be able to be baptized. But when we taught her, the Spirit told us yes. And then, the miracle was as we taught her, her ability to learn increased. I love Carol, and will always have a special place in my heart for her.

The scriptures mention a joy that comes from bringing a soul to Christ. I can honestly testify of that joy--it's unbeatable. Honestly, do everything you can to be able to take part in it. It's worth it.

I will never EVER regret the time I have spent serving the Lord full time. I gotta say, though, I'm tired. December 15 is starting to look pretty good right now. . . .

(That's when I go home. 48 days! At least that's what Elder Barnes tells me.)

Anyway, I gotta go. Love you!

Christopher, gracias por tu carta. Me dio feliz escuchar de uds. Yo tambien quiero estudiar como traducir, pero puedo imaginarme que dificil seria. !Dile a Katy como le quiero!

Love,
Hna. Crowley
