Hey everyone!

I'm going to keep this one pretty short but I've been doing good. If everyone could pray for David to get baptized, that would be awesome. 

Casper is great! Lots of cool people here.

Love you all!

From, Elder Pack

PS.  Ethan said he hasn't written for a couple of weeks (although I think it's been more like a month) so we gave him a hard time.  I think he believes that, since he talks to us, he doesn't have much to say.  So, I will add what we talked about so you know how he is doing.

They had Zone Conference last Friday.  They always have car inspection and a prize is given out to the missionaries with the cleanest car.  Ethan really thought they would win the prize but...it went to some sisters who had their car detailed by some people in their ward. 😉  He was bummed.  He said the prize was donuts "or something" but they didn't get it.

They are teaching David (who he mentioned above) and he was on vacation in Denver last Sunday but he still went to Church in a ward in Denver!  Ethan was pretty excited about that because it shows that he is dedicated enough to go to Church even when he isn't home. David talked to the missionaries in the Denver ward and one of them was from St. George.  When David talked to Ethan afterward, he couldn't remember the name of the missionary but that was a cool connection.

The members in the Casper 2nd and 10th wards are helping the missionaries out.  Ethan said they are being fed well and they are building connections with the members.  Ethan and his companion have been visiting various members and doing service or sharing a spiritual thought in an attempt to get to know them better so the members will help them with missionary work.  He said it seems to be happening because most of the people they are working with are in the 2nd ward and have members who are friends with them.

Ethan is doing well, he is happy, and he is enjoying what he is doing.  Thanks to everyone who emails him or sends packages.  If you want his address, it's always updated on his blog: elderepack.blogspot.com. It's on the left side if you are on a computer or under the menu if you are on your phone.

Thanks!
