New York is warm and humid

Excerpts from João's e-mail of July 21, 2009

Thank you for the e-mails. I had a good birthday. One of our recent converts was confirmed a member of the Church, in French by a member from Haiti. It was wonderful. I love this work. I love this Gospel!

I miss all of you. I am so grateful for Ana's news and the fact that she recovered and doctors found the source of the problem. I cannot tell you how much that was a fortifying testimony of prayer and fasting. Please send her my love.

New York is warm and humid, reminds me of the good old Brazilian weather, when we were on a mission there... great to lose the extra water weight, hehe...
