First of all we would like to wish a Happy Father's Day to all you fathers, hope you have a great day. This week has been busy at the Mission Office with emails, helping missionaries, and recording Baptism records for Sister Cornelius. Elder Cornelius has been busy with apartments, paying bills and answering questions. The weather is getting cooler with highs in the mid 60's and lows in the lower 50's. We are in the dry season now with not much rain and a lot of pollution. Today we had our office meeting with the President, couples, A.P's and Office Elders there. We all share what is happening in the mission as far as our areas are concerned. The scripture for today was found in D&C 64, "When ye are on the Lord's errand he requires a willing heart and mind." Madagascar is third in our area for baptisms so far this year and we are on track to meet the President's goal of 2012 baptisms. We average about 100 per month. The work is going forth and the people here have set a goal for a Temple to be built here someday. We will get our new mission President, President Adams, here on June 30. We will be sorry to see President & Sister Donnelly leave. They have become good friends to us. They have lifted our spirits and shared many wonderful experiences with us that we wouldn't have had otherwise. They will return to live in South Africa and he will be working for the church in Public Relations for all of South Africa. We wouldn't be surprised to see him become a Seventy in the future. He is a spiritual giant, who is so close to our Savior in many aspects. Our final thought to you is this quote from a General Conference talk given by Elder Koelliker, "The feeling of love from our Heavenly Father is like a gravitational pull from heaven. As we remove the distractions that pull us toward the world and exercise our agency to seek Him, we open our hearts to a celestial force which draws us toward Him." We send our love and prayers to all of you and we want you to know of our great love for our Savior. Love,
Elder & Sister Cornelius

Picture 067 is a bread truck full of french bread that he will take to a market. Notice they don't use boxes they just load the bread in the back.
