"I have [I think he meant had] an interview with president frei on Friday. We talked about how I can study the scriptures better. We read in Moroni 10:3-5 about Moroni's promise. I need to ponder the scriptures more and find why Mormon put this in the book, it was a good interview. I liked it a lot."
Thank you to all the return missionaries that responded to my request for a translation.

things on the battle front are good. we are winning and satan is loosing. i broke down and bought new shoes if you haven’t looked. they are good, i like them. my other one’s i had worn the sole down and it has a big hole in it. so it rained like crazy on monday hurricane style but we went to work cause this is a "mission of warriors" not a mission of "pretty boys" like across the way. we baptize and confirm and invite people to come unto Christ in the words (more or less) of president frei. Hey, he sent you an email about CHRISTMAS PACKAGES AND HOW THEY NEED TO BE IN THE MAIL BY OCTOBER 15th. love you. i think it would be good if for christmas you buy me 2 shirts and keep them at the house so i wouldn’t have totally out of date cloths. But, yeah, i hope i told you in the last letter that i freakin love the koolaid singles you sent. they were awesome .... there were no questions so i don’t know what to write about ..... um i sent letter to you with pictures in it
we baptized edinalva and now i guess she has a drinking problem so now we need to resolve that um... we are going around to the recent converts and teaching them all the lessons again cause transfers are this next week and elder broud thinks he is leaving so he wants to tie up all the loose ends um... maria didn’t get baptized cause ... i have no idea she just doesn’t feel ready to, so we felt that we should teach the atonement better. so that’s what we are doing this week a week of atonement. we started with lehi’s dream and we explained that and then tonite we are going to talk about what the savior went through and apply it to the dream and then we are just going to go over every lesson and say this is what we teach to make sure you’re ready for baptism and every lesson and then just be like we have taught you every thing you need to be ready to receive this promise with god what else do you think you need?

Elder Marx with President & Sister Frei
teaching is great we ... oh i know what i should tell you, we had two baptizms last week and i baptized somebody ...in portuguese... i asked elder broud if i could say the prayer in english but he said the witnesses don’t know it in english so i said it in port. Anyways, baptized charles and edinalva. It went really well and we started teaching maria next door to charles and she just got an answer that the church is true and we hope she gets bapt this week, if not then next week. but we are teaching like that whole street now and are going to have a noite familiar on the street have a lesson and play taco which is this game they always play in the street and looks really fun.
the language is good. today in language study we went over the 1st vision cause i had been messing that up pretty good so we went over it and I’m going to practice that. we get a letter from the president every week in portuguese and I’m starting to understand it and I’m really starting to understand when people talk to me in the street, so that’s good. in the mission we need to make 10 good contacts a day like of impact and either get an endreço or plant a seed for the fuirto warriors. so i do that and instead of really playing a recording i starting to talk to more people.
