I am in Paradise - Sister Pack (1/28/13 Letter)

Hey family!

So I know you are all getting ready for the big return of Elder Pack, and I am so stoked for him! Please remember to read your scriptures and invite the spirit so when he comes home it's not a hard change for him!

So I have some really big news. Well first off I am almost a hundred percent sure that Hermano Colman got baptized this week! That is the best feeling but there is something much greater. I moved once again! To MISIONES! the paradise. (well of beauty not so much baptisms.) I am in Eldorado Misiones and you guys can look it up and find out a lot about this place.  It is really close to the falls (well 2 hours or so). The sad part is that I won't be able to go... they made a new rule that we cant go... =(((( but maybe I work some magic and see if pres. will let us.  Like 3 weeks ago I told my companion I wanted to stay in Formosa, and when I least expect it, Heavenly Father put me here. Crazy i know. Anyways there is more.

HERMANA ESPINOZA IS MY COMPANION AGAIN! I could not believe it! When the LZ´s told me I thought they were joking seriously. But they called back again and told me my travel plans, so it wasn't a joke... hahaha. It has been an easy transition. We are working our tails off. This is the first time that I have seen trees or hills in a long time. Dad would absolutely love it here. We walk a lot... a lot and the whole town is hills and not little hills so my legs are pretty much mush. lol. Yesterday we had to walk 45 minutes in the forest to get to the house of a member. I couldn't believe it. But I love the Branch.  The president is awesome and my companion is rocking. Heavenly Father has blessed me that is for sure. Well love you all. I will send pictures maybe....

Love you tons and tons,

Red Mud - Sister Pack (2/19/13 Letter)

Hey Family,

This week has been really good we have been working hard. IT'S BEEN RAINING like crazy! I swear I look like the kids that we see in the street playing at the end of the day. It was funny the Hermana Espinoza freaked out one night saying your bleeding your bleeding all of your leg is bleeding... it was just red mud. hahaha. Well some good news. I am GOING TO THE CATARATAS the week that comes! I am sooo stoked. I was soooo scared to call the president but got the courage and he said yes! We are working hard this week so we can enjoy next week. I love my companionship.  We work so hard together and just do what needs to get done...no drama! lol.

Hopefully next week when I write I can say that we had our baptism. There are some big obstaculos, but we are working hard with the spirit to make it happen. Well, I love you guys and hope all is well in Las Vegas.

Awesome week in Eldorado - Sister Pack (2/4/12 Letter)

Hey family!
   So its been an awesome week in Eldorado. We have been working really hard trying to help the
Lord's gospel spread here in Eldorado. We have a few part families we are trying to help become full families in the gospel and hopefully one day GET SEALED! But one cool story is that in our first week together, we were talking about the families that are inactive and we came to the conclusion to visit one family in particular. We passed by on Saturday night and within 10 minutes the Mom was telling us how she wants to come back to church. After that, the dad said he will come back! We are now working with this family to help them come back to the fold. The coolest part is there are two kids who haven´t been baptized yet, so we are fulfilling our job as missionaries and helping the branch.

    My companion and I are doing a program together called "Feel the spirit more in your lives." We are now in the second week of this program, and it has been truly interesting. I feel like at times now Satan works harder because we are working harder to understand the spirit. One thing that I have grown to know is that the Lord truly knows us better than we know ourselves. He knows what will make us the happiest and just depends on us giving into His will. How do we learn to be humble and give into His will? Through reading the scriptures daily, praying and fasting. I am so grateful for my mission and what it has taught me. It has truly prepared me to be a defensor of the truth - I do not regret it for anything.

     Well hope you guys are enjoying Tyler! and I WANT MY PICTURE FROM THE AIRPORT WITH YOU GUYS AND HIM! lol. I love you guys tons and hope your week is great.
