Well, another week has come and gone. This week was pretty good, especially because it was conference. I really did enjoy the conference, but it was weird without the presence of Elder Perry, Scott, and President Packer. I hope we've seen all the changes we're going to see for the next couple of years. Still, I know God has his purposes for everything he does. And I can see that the new apostles have been prepared for their callings. In particular Elder Rasband. As I was looking at the list wondering who would be called, he was one of the ones that really stuck out to me. I know that God has great things in store for them, and I just pray that he supports them in what has to be the hardest calling in the church.
As far as news, Nazario, the golden investigator, is going to get baptized this Saturday. I'd like to ask you to include him in your prayers so that he can resist temptation until then. He's had problems with alcohol in the past, and I know that Satan will be doing all he can to make him fall in this week. That's the big news for this week.
The time is passing me by, so I'm afraid this is going to have to be a short one. I also loved Elder Holland's talk, and Elder Bednar's. I'm glad to hear everything has worked out well with the car situation. I hope everything keeps working out OK for you.
I love you, and I promise I'll write a better letter next week. We kept busy today, so I didn't have as much time as I would like.
Love,
Elder Samuel Long
