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.
