Three King's Day - Elder Pack

hello family and friends around the world!!!!!!!!!(i can say that because i know people in other countries right now! tee hee)

so this week has been good. we went to work.  we haven’t really found anyone that is willing to progress very fast, but we are hoping that soon we will. we will hopefully have a baptism this week. her name is Daira. she is a child of 8 (now don’t go thinking that elder pack is going around looking for children to baptize because she is part of a family of eternal investigators and that’s fair game!)

so i learned of a new holiday that i think we should start celebrating as a family… hahaha.   It’s the 3 kings day. i am going to learn more about it to have a better background when i come home.  Plus, they came through for me. they helped santa get my packages to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i know i was supper happy to receive them. thank you mommy and grams. also the lautter family for the tie. i will be taking a picture with my little tree and have a title of "thank you 3 kings for helping santa!!" what do you think??  hahaha.

we had a funny experience with the family aramendaries this week. we have been teaching them and one of the nights that we were teaching them my companion saw a little toy phone that looked like the toy phone that another little girl that we know (her name is fernanda) so my companion said "¡oh that phone is like the phone of fernanda!" and then i agreed. after i agreed with him daira looks at him dirty and asks "¿who is fernanda?" hahahahaha it was supper funny to see that she was jealous of the other little girl because i think she has a crush on my companion.

i am realizing how much work it is for someone to stop an addiction now.  we are trying all that we can to help a brother in the branch kill his habit of drinking.  we are going to their house every day for a little bit of time to help him and strengthen him with his fight with himself.  so that he can get to the point of baptizing his son.  we are keeping him in our prayers because really he is a great person and he is willing to help us out more than any other member in this area.

pues mis amados amigos míos, mi mente terminé trabajando entonces a dios!!
love you all and hope you all have a great week!!!!!!!!!!!

love ELDER PACK
