Hey everyone! This week has been good. I found out on Sunday that I'll be heading up to Casper Wyoming. Wish me luck! I'm excited. I think it's going to be a great transfer. Some other cool things that happened: we put together a family home evening for the YSA ward that went pretty well, we moved all of our furniture so our carpets could get cleaned, it rained a lot which I like, we had a good Filipino-Japanese dinner with some members, and we had some good lessons with people we're teaching. I'll attach some pictures that I took. Thanks  for all the support and prayers! I appreciate you all! Keep being  awesome !

 I don't know if Ethan will write a letter today or not.  His entire mission is going to Martin's Cove for p-day today.  He and his companions had to leave their apartment at 6 am this morning to drive the 4 hours and 11-minutes to get there on time.  They are spending the day, as a mission, doing service at Martin's Cove and then exploring the site.  It is going to be such a cool experience for them.  There are over 200 missionaries in his mission, so it's going to be a party. Because of this, Ethan called Monday morning to chat with us and then sent a quick email with some pictures.  He is doing really well and really enjoys his companions.  They all have May birthdays so that has been a good connection.  They probably will only be together, all three of them, for the next week because transfers are on May 11th, but they have enjoyed the time they have been together. The YSA ward covers two zones so they are really busy.  Things are pr...

  Hey everyone! Things are going good here. The trio that I'm in is a lot of fun.  Not much that is really notable had happened. I've eaten a lot of good food recently. We are teaching some good people who want to learn more about the gospel. The weather here is crazy as always.  I should have a few more pictures than normal. Hopefully, I'm gonna start taking more soon. Sorry for the short email but today is pretty busy! Thanks for all your support! See ya! Elder Pack PS: There is a family that feeds them about once a week.  Last week, the family was busy and so they bought them take-out instead.  The missionaries got Asian food and, for some reason, they bought Ethan a "family size" entree of a shrimp dish.  Ethan said it was so much food!  He poured it all into a huge serving bowl, ate what he wanted, then filled a normal take-out container with the leftovers.  So they fed him for 2 days with that one meal!  He said it was really yummy...

Hey everyone! Big week for me. Because of an early transfer somewhere else in the mission, one of the elders in the young single adult branch had to fill in there. So now my companion and I are with the remaining elder (Elder Carden), and all 3 of us are covering our normal ward and the YSA branch. So, we are pretty busy.  On the upside, we can go without ties because  YSA   elders are allowed to. When we are in our normal area, we still have to wear ties though. So, we moved to the  YSA   leader's apartment so we have a laundry machine. It has been pretty fun so far but we are going to be really busy, which is good. Other than that, things are pretty normal. We finally had a lesson with Lynne, who is our person on date. She is pretty cool. Also, please keep praying for Shawn up in Riverton. He is pretty close to baptism. Thanks  for all of your support! You're all  awesome ! See ya! Elder Pack Elders Mills, Carden, and Pack PS:  Ethan and Elder M...
