Alfalfa Water - Elder Pack (5/28/12 Letter)

Hello People!!!

This week I had an interesting experience drinking water of alfalfa.  It didn’t really taste that bad to tell you the truth haha!!  They say it’s great for the blood that it cleans it.  I guess we will see the next time I get a cut haha... or maybe not who knows.

On Sunday, we had stake conference and Elder Martinez of the seventy gave a talk.  It was funny.  He had the missionaries stand up and told everyone that the missionaries would love nutrients but not only of food also they would like references because that is how we stay happy hahaha.  It is true though.  He also said that if are comidas fell through, we should just go to the next house and tell them that we are representatives of Jesus Christ and that we have hunger.  Let’s see how it works out hahahahaha.  There were many things that he told us as a whole.  He talked about how here in Durango they want rain but they aren’t doing the things that will actually bring the rain.  Some parts of Durango pray for the rain and often we see people doing rain dances. (They are really quite funny hahahaha)  We all know that the rain dances won’t work.  The only thing that will work is living in righteously and asking in faith for the blessing of rain.  He then explained that the most people are lacking Faith.  He told them that they need to start going to the temple more often and paying tithes. The stake president talked and so did the counselor of our mission president.  They both gave good talks.  The stake president gave a talk about the amazing women that have made him the man he is today.  I liked it.  The counselor of the president talked about the importance of being worthy as a priesthood holder and the importance of the Book Of Mormon.  It was funny when the seventy had the missionaries stand up, then all the RMs stand up, then all that can serve missions soon, and the older couples that should be able to serve in a few years.  It was a lot of people to tell you the truth.  It is very interesting to see that the church is focusing on getting the older couples of the church to serve missions.

So this has been a good week but there is plenty of room for improvement.  I think we will start improving things.  Maybe we will be changing houses this week, and if we do, we will have a great time because we will be able to go running in the park in the mornings!!!

So that will be all for this week.  I love you all and hope that you have a great week!!!

LOVE,
ELDER PACK
