Elder Pack

Hey Everyone! Hope you have been doing good. Good news, I'm staying in Casper for the next 6 weeks! I'm excited. I really like Casper. We're going to have 10 elders in the district this transfer, so it's going to be pretty crazy. I've seen some cool faith-building experiences recently, with finding people who want to come closer to Christ. Its been nice to find people who are willing to take the steps to do that. Sorry to keep this short, but thanks everyone! You're all awesome! Love, Elder Pack PS:  Ethan said that they have quite a few elders in their District who are being transferred, going home, or going to their original assignment, so they don't have anything planned for p-day.  But he is going to check out Hobby Lobby (I'm jealous) which is right next to the thrift store.  Ethan loves the thrift store so it will be interesting to see what he gets when he is there.

 Ethan messaged me Saturday night to tell me they had permission to call Sunday for Father's Day.  We were pretty excited!  And Bryan said it was "about time" that dads got a call from their missionary like moms do. He called late but we were able to talk to him about how he is doing.  They had quite a few investigators at Church so he was excited.  One of the investigators commented during Sunday School and said the closing prayer.  So that was cool! While we were on the call with him, the Transfer Document came out telling them who was getting a transfer on Wednesday.  Ethan opened it and found out that he and Elder Wright are staying in Casper for another transfer and their Zone was being reorganized.  They will now have 10 elders in their district instead of 6 and there won't be any sister.  Who is going to supervise?!?!  But he was happy to be staying in Casper with Elder Wright.  They get along really well. Ethan sent us some ...

Hey everyone! I hope that this is are going good for all of you. This week has been pretty good. We started teaching some cool people and did some fun service at someone's house. I'll make sure to include some pictures.  For pday today, we're playing volleyball and stuff. Then we're going to go and spend some time at a rec center. Fun stuff. Other than that, things are pretty normal.  Thanks  for all your support! See ya! Love, Elder Pack Ethan is to the right of the guy in the red shirt.  He is the face in the tree. 😉 Ethan is in the gray shirt to the right of center: The Wyoming night sky: PS: Ethan told us that they have been teaching an investigator who is slowly progressing. At one of their last appointments, his roommate decided to sit in and is actually progressing faster than the original guy.  So Ethan was happy about that. They have been playing basketball with the youth in the 2 wards they serve in.  They play with one ward on one day and the ot...

Hey everyone! Today has been pretty good. We went on a hike and I took a lot of pictures. It was up on Casper Mountain. We didn't get all the way to the top but it was a good hike. We ate some sandwiches from a place called Blimpie and looked around a thrift shop and a Marshall's. Things are going well in Casper. We were able to hand off Gary and his wife to the other elders. That ward is already making contact and so things are good. Thanks for your support! Elder Pack PS.  They have been going through their Area Book to find more people to teach. They were doing splits and decided to go visit a woman who had taken the discussions before.  It turns out that she only speaks Spanish.  Through their broken Spanish and her broken English, they found out that her daughter would be home soon and could translate.  They went back but no one was home.  But Ethan said he could understand better than he could figure out how to say anything. I had asked Ethan about Spanish...

  Hey everyone! This week was pretty normal. Things are still going good with those we're teaching, except that we realized that Gary and Heather live outside of the zone by a block. So we need to pass them off to some other elders. It's pretty disappointing because they have already met a lot of the ward. So it's not a great situation. If you could all pray for the new ward's hearts to be softened so they are friendly to them, that would be great. Otherwise, things have been good. I took some pictures from p-day so I'll send those. Thanks , everyone! You all are great.  Love, Elder Pack PS.  The last picture is of Ethan's  birthday cake .  I sent him a party in a box which included a cake mix, sprinkles, homemade icing, a cake pan, and some other cake decorations.  He didn't want to eat it all himself so he waited until it was p-day so he could share it with his district. But he kept forgetting to make it the day before.  He finally set an alarm and m...
