How are you? I am well, and happy to read your letters! This week has
been quick, and it's hard to remember what we did! However, we did
have two baptisms yesterday, of Monica and her 13-year-old son,
Ricardo. Monica has been waiting for a few weeks to be baptised,
arranging for her husband to be there. She's a teacher, and used to
teach Catechism. She's finding lots of answers and comfort in the Book
of Mormon, and through prayer, and also in the Conference Ensign.
Ricardo is also learning a lot, and received an answer to his prayers
about the Restoration last week.
In response to your questions, we were eating hamburgers today and I
thought as well about how we used to think I would go somewhere with
very exotic food! We eat lots of pasta, bread, a bit of meat,
occasionally mashed potatoes, and not very many fruits or vegetables.
I think the strangest thing that I've eaten has been pizza with
hard-boiled eggs on it.
I've been a bit tired this week. I was getting my hair cut today,
somewhat sleeping, then really sleeping while I waiting for Elder
Lopez's haircut! Occasionally I had trouble falling asleep in the MTC,
but, so far, not here!
I'm sending photos today! Photos
Thank you very much for your letters—I do enjoy very much hearing from
you! Also, Dad, be sure to let me know how your Argentine experience
was, and what was new or different to you! Also, Mom, I hope that your
tooth gets better soon!
I love you all very much,
Elder Schlachter
P.S. Sorry for a short letter today; I am sending a couple in the mail, however!
