Adam wrote to let us know that even though he is feeling a bit under the weather and he is on Tamiflu, he is still having great spiritual experiences. He has tested negative for H1N1.

Elder Lourenco is loving the MTC and says he is having many spiritual experiences. ( but has not given us many details yet.)

We received our first letter from Elder Lourenco. It seems the he is fulfilling lifetime goals for himself, which is, eating and going on a mission.

Adam tells us that, even though he had not yet received his name tag, during a layover in Detroit, a couple recognized him as a missionary headed for the MTC.

Adam has made it safely to the MTC. Has made some new friends. His companion at he MTC is Elder Ayala. Adam is excited about the spirit that exist there in the MTC. and we are very happy for him.

Elder Lourenco has received cards and letters from many of you already and says thank you.
