Elder Pack

Hey everyone! It has been a good week. I found out that I'll be staying in Casper for another transfer. That'll make 6 months here. I'm glad to be staying. I really like the people here and I'm learning a lot.  If you could be praying for Michael, he could use it. He is trying to learn about the Atonement of Jesus Christ and he could use an extra measure of the Spirit of God to help him understand. Troy, Kino, Nicole, Gus, and Todd could also use some prayers. Sorry for the short email, but things have been going good.  Thanks  for all your support.  Love, Elder Pack P.S.

Bummer! There are a ton of new missionaries coming into the mission tomorrow so there are a lot of changes.  Ethan said there is o...

Hey Everyone, Hope you all had a great week. My week was pretty good too. We started teaching a guy named Michael. He is pretty cool and we had the chance to explain the atonement of Jesus Christ. It was great.  We had a great lesson with a guy named Enrique. We talked about the Book of Mormon and he said that he had already read it, and felt the spirit when he did. It was super  awesome ! We met some cool people this week and taught some good lessons. Thanks  for all of your support! You all are  awesome ! From, Elder Pack Elders Elkins and Foutz: PS: Ethan is in a district of all elders so it makes for an interesting p-day.  They hiked to a waterfall on Casper Mountain in the morning and then they played "Slaughter Ball" in the afternoon.  It's basically a huge game of dodgeball in the Cultural Hall but this time they turned out the lights and put a cloth over the exit signs so it would be completely dark.  Ethan said that no one got hurt and it was ...

Hey Everyone! I'm still doing good. We are keeping really busy right now with 3 wards. If you could all pray for the missionary work here in Casper, I'd really appreciate it.  I want to share a quick scripture with you all. 2 Nephi 32 verses 8 and 9, in the Book of Mormon. The prophet Nephi says, " 8 And now, my beloved brethren, I perceive that ye ponder still in your hearts; and it grieveth me that I must speak concerning this thing. For if ye would hearken unto the Spirit which teacheth a man to pray, ye would know that ye must pray; for the evil spirit teacheth not a man to pray, but teacheth him that he must not pray. 9 But behold, I say unto you that ye must pray always, and not faint; that ye must not perform anything unto the Lord save in the first place ye shall pray unto the Father in the name of Christ, that he will consecrate thy performance unto thee, that thy performance may be for the welfare of thy soul." So basically, pray. It helps out a lot and it d...
