General conference, baptisms and blessings

Elder Allen called for a bit this morning to say he is doing really well! He and his companion are working extremely hard and experiencing great success and are grateful to the Lord for blessing the people in their area so much. He is definitely excited for general conference coming up this weekend and asked anyone who would be willing to pray, to pray that many of those they are teaching will feel called to attend conference to hear the inspired messages from the leaders of the church.

In addition, Elder Allen is very excited that there are multiple baptisms planned, in between sessions of conference. There are several young men wanting to be baptized this Saturday, with another one or two following on Sunday. I am praying hard that will happen!

It is a great time to be a missionary in Brasil. It is a great time to be a missionary in general. I'm so thankful for the tremendous missionaries that serve all over the world and especially feel deeply grateful for this boy of ours and his goodness and his dedication and especially that our Father in Heaven would bless him so tremendously as he tries his best to represent our Savior, Jesus Christ and share His love and light with the world. It is an incredible time to be alive and to have the gospel and to know what we know and to have what we have.
