We love all of you wonderful Saints here in Mexico. We have seven children, and now we have 43 grandchildren. And I'm informed while I'm down here, we just had our 44th great-grandchild. So our family is muy grande. And the little ones don't like Fast Sunday. They don't quite understand it yet. So we have to be wise how we bring our children along to understand the wonderful principle of the fast. This is a wonderful principle because part of the principle is the cost of the two meals that we don't partake of, we contribute that amount into the fast-offering fund. And this is a big church now. We are over 14 million members. And so it's not unusual for you to see that when there is a disaster somewhere in the world, we are there as quickly as we can get. And with the fast offerings that have been contributed by the members of the Church, we're able to help relieve the suffering of those who have lost their home. Because each family in the Church practices the principle of the fast, your few pesos and mine become a large enough amount of money to be able to help those that have been damaged by a hurricane or tornado. What a wonderful thing it is to know that we're able to help. That's what Jesus wants us to do.
