Elder Pack

Hey everyone!  As I think I told you last week, I'm still in Wellington with my companion Elder Unruh. This is his last transfer, and he trained me so we'll have been companions for about 4 and a half months by the time this transfer is over. (Ethan told us today on the phone that there is a mission rule that the missionary going home can't drive during their last transfer period.  So Ethan has been doing all the driving, which is hilarious because Ethan doesn't like to drive.  He much prefers to ride in the car so this is interesting.) Over these past few weeks, our teaching pool has diminished a lot. We had to drop a few people who weren't progressing and a few people dropped us, haha! Fortunately, we've been seeing success in finding people with interest, so we have a few new person prospects. The fire is still burning up here. We could actually see the glow from our apartment a few nights ago! It shouldn't be a problem for us here though. It looks pretty...

  Hi everyone! We found 3 new people to teach this week! That's really exciting. Two of them are a young family with a 3-month-old, and the other one is a guy, also with a family. We also tried to put on a small Sunday worship service, just for the people we're teaching, because we only have church once every three weeks right now. Unfortunately, all 3 people we invited and got to commit bailed on is. Super frustrating. Fortunately, church is going to start back up every week after conference. It should be a lot easier then. General Conference is coming up. I'm super excited for it. How are you guys preparing for it? It's still pretty smoky here. The Cameron Peak fire is the third-largest fire in Colorado history, and it's on track to be the biggest. I think part of it is in our area, too. Don't worry though,  it's pretty far from Wellington. Here are some pictures. A few are from disc golf today, and there's one from a bad picture of the red moon we had...

Hey everybody! I hope you're all doing well. I've had a pretty good week. The weather right now is cold and snowy, and the weather yesterday was warm and smoky, because of the Cameron Peak Fire. The weather here is pretty weird.  We were able to go up to Red Feather Lakes a few days ago to visit some families. It's a small town a lot like Pine Valley, for those of you in St. George. It's good we went when we did, because a day later they all got evacuated because of the fire. So that was a tender mercy. It's really beautiful up there, though. I'm glad we got to go when we did. Something that I've been noticing a lot lately are blessings in my life. We're blessed with so many things and it really helps me when I count the ways I've been blessed. How have you been blessed? Well, thanks for supporting me and reading this thing. It means a lot. I hope you all have a great day! From, Elder Pack Here are some pictures from Red Feather Check out the hilario...
