Capture the Flag - Elder Pack (6/18/2012 Letter)


Hello family and friends that are found in many different parts of the world.

Well we thought that we had a good week until it came to Sunday.... hahahaha so this Sunday we had no investigators in church and well we are thinking it was because of Father’s Day.  Also that some were probably sick, but that doesn’t make us feel bad.  What made us feel bad was that there were only 36 people in church hahahaha.  We are looking forward to this week as a week of planning and working so that these things don’t pass again haha.

Well, we are teaching an older lady, whose name is Maria.  She is golden…The truth be told hahaha.  During the second visit that we had with her, she had read a lot of the BOM and well that made us happy.  The thing that she was very confused by was that reincarnation doesn’t exist.  It was interesting to try and teach that to her because the scriptures don’t say anything about that hahaha.  So we taught her about death, temples, baptisms for the dead then the Resurrection and then the 3 kingdoms of glory.  It was intense, and I had no idea how we were going to get it all out there to tell you the truth. But it was awesome that she understood, and then asked us how one could do the work for the dead.  That is how the lessons go with her.  Fabian is still going along, it’s just strange that we don’t know how to help him.  In the last lesson that we had with him, he basically told us straight out that he wanted to hear all that we could teach him.  We think that is why he doesn’t want to except a baptism commitment.  Others are progressing and well we will be seeing how they are doing throughout the week.

Today we played capture the flag.  It went well this time.  I didn’t do anything stupid to get hurt!!!!!!  So our team won like usual hahaha.  I captured the flag the first game and the second game another in my team captured the flag.  After, we went and ate hamburgers, and I could only eat 1 (for some reason after doing all that running that I should probably not be doing,  I had no appetite).  I drank a litter and half of water and some more after that.  It was the only thing that my body wanted.  I had fun and that is all that matters hahahah.

Well family, that is all that I have time for.  I love you all and I hope that you all have a great week.

LOVE ELDER PACK
