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 areas because a young man in Santa Clara just received his mission call to serve in Fort Collins Spanish speaking. Ethan said there aren't any Spanish-speaking areas in Casper but there were in Colorado because they have more Hispanic people there.

It is mission call time and so far we know of 2 young men in Santa Clara/Ivins who have been called to the Fort Collins mission.  Crazy world!  One will be Spanish speaking and the other is English.  

Ethan will be at the halfway point on July 1st.  Time has been flying by!  Thanks to everyone who has supported him. Ethan told me on Tuesday that he is doing really well and loving missionary work.  It's good to see him so happy.
