Dear Family,

So I heard in a letter from my mission president that someone in my last area received baptism and it was neat to hear. His name is Motobayashi and it was neat when we found him. That day we had been riding our bikes and ended up teaching a lot of people on the way to an area. We so happened to teach him out of the many people that day. He is way amazing and it was fun talking with him. It`s funny because he looks like he is 24 years old or so, but he really is like 38. We would teach him and he would read a lot of the Book of Mormon even though he had a hard time with it. It was really neat to hear about that. A member in that branch came to my ward yesterday and told me that the members pitched in money so he could have a suit to wear to church and that was neat to hear. Well this last week we had a lot of fun working. Because it`s really cold outside, they suggest that we take time to go in a store or something and do some natural missionary work. This last week we had a couple people start talking to us and it was neat seeing Heavenly Father help us do his work even when the weather is cold. The Lord works in mysterious ways, but if we follow the Spirit then we will be able to see his work happen. It`s been amazing being out here. I love you all very much.

Love

Elder Daniel Gandy
