This afternoon I sent letters to six of my friends, using a carbon copy because of time limitations. Copies went to Bob Russell, in Provo working on his masters degree; Elder Jeff Boswell, in the Samoan Mission; Elder Brian Rabe, in the Portuguese zone of the LTM; Elder Dave LeSueur, in the Franco-Belgian Mission; Elder Steve Hill, in the German South Mission; and Elder Evan A. Ballard, in the West Spanish American Mission.
Tonight an investigator fireside was held in the chapel. Following an introduction and opening hymn and prayer, we played an interview game to break the ice and let everyone become acquainted. Selected investigators were called upon to speak briefly on a specified subject. The filmstrip What Is a Mormon? was shown. We closed with a hymn, prayer, and refreshments.
We had three families in attendance: Maria Yolanda and Marcos, who will be baptized tomorrow; Fausto and his wife, who discontinued the lessons a few months earlier because of the Word of Wisdom; and Francisco, a young man who has read half of the Book of Mormon and says he believes it to be true but will not accept Joseph Smith as a prophet.
Maria Yolanda received the fifth and sixth lessons this week. Tuesday we taught the fifth, and she was fantastically impressed with the plan of salvation. Thursday evening we taught the sixth lesson in William's home. Lillian attended both but will be out of town for the baptism. Elder Richins interviewed her this evening.
