Elder Norton, Your inspiring letter of miracles this week in the work and your testimony of how much the Lord loves His children and how aware of each of us He is, has strenghtened my testimony. Each day we see and feel the special direction and enabling power of our loving Savior. I am so grateful to be involved en His work of Salvacion and even more grateful that my two oldest grandchildren are willing to be instruments in the hands of the Lord. Dont ever forget the great lessons of life you are learning now. Namely put the Lord first in every day of your life and seek to do His will and not your own. Isnt it amazing what He can make out of our lives when we turn them over to Him. So happy to see Ruth get baptized. Now she needs a friend in the ward and a calling so she can keep learning and growing in the Gospel. So much effort is spent here in the South America South Area rescuing those who are less active and need to be loved back to the fold. After one of our open chapel open houses, a young man came and learned a little about what the Mormons believed, and he came back on Sunday with some friends and then kept on coming with more friends. Now in a ward with one active Young man they now have twelve attending regularly and some missionary lessons starting. Another open chapel had 50 regular attenders at Sacrament meeting and now has 75 regular attendees. Another had 6 baptism dates set before the event was over. One high councelor prayed about who to invite to the open house in his ward and he felt inspired to invite his neighbor of 30 years. To his surprise he came, and felt the spirit and took the lessons from the missionaries and was baptized. Each Capilla Abierta or open chapel has miracles. Just like the amazing miracles of conversion that you are experiencing. We are heading to Uruguay for three days next week and have set up two trainings with stake and ward mission leaders to help get more couples helping coordinate open chapels. They are such a great way to get the members working closely with the missionaries to help hasten the work. This mission is flying by, every day is packed and Im going to turn around and we will all be home. Such a very short opportunity to full time devote ourselves to bringing souls to Christ. Your an amazing young man Cayden Norton and your obedience and hard work are surely paying off. The Spirit is such a great teacher when we do our part and keep a willing humble heart. We are so blessed to be your Nan and Pop. Love you so very much
