Victory

Victory! Alain was baptized yesterday, and confirmed a member of the Church today! For those of you who offered your prayers on his behalf, thank you. They worked. He received the strength he needed. He is happy, very happy. What a wonderful young man he is, and now he has started a new life.


For the past two weeks, my wife and I have been practicing with a returned missionary choir in a neighboring stake. Even though I warned them that I sing like a frog, they wanted us to participate. Today we sang for their stake conference. The mission president let me provide them all with name tags. For the final song the men took off their jackets and we were all wearing white shirts and name tags, though the names were for missionaries in our mission. The women, too, wore name tags. I was so moved by the voices around me that I had trouble singing—probably a good thing. The songs carried such a wonderful spirit. Our choir director was marvelous. She was so animated and excited that she pulled the best out of,us even me. My wife commented that I sounded really good. That made my day.
