The Return of Elder Plaster

 Hola,

What an awesome week. I don't have a lot of time, so I need to speed run through this. But it's crazy how my mission is quickly coming to an end. I'm in such a fun area to end my mission.

We had a temple trip. That was awesome. Three zones pulled up to the temple so there was hecka missionaries there. It was a very spiritual experience and day to remember.

Elder Plaster is back! He's in my zone and he was at the temple. For those of you who can't remember who he was, I trained him a year ago and he is one of my best friends. The companionship unity was still as strong as ever when we saw each other. He is in Pahrump so he rarely comes down to see the rest of the zone. Then we went on exchanges with the Pahrump elders twice. I basically spent a ridiculous amount of time with Elder Plaster. We went on exchanges, and it was like old times. It was cool to see Elder Plasters growth and he's become a super good missionary now (he was before but now he's even better).  We actually found someone to teach named Erin which was awesome. Then we found a storm drain tunnel thing and explored around in it. That was pretty cool.

Exchanges in Pahrump was hilarious. We went hiking through some sand washes that morning and the rest of the day was so fun. It's kinda built like Sandy Valley except with more stuff. Still felt like the middle of nowhere though. We had an incredible first lesson with this family that invited us inside. The spirit was super strong as we testified and taught. What's super interesting is later one of the little girls came in and started asking questions. We wanted to say a closing prayer and then she asked, "what's a prayer? What's a God?" It was super cute and then she kept asking to say the prayer. She was super excited. Literally the most elect little kid ever. Pahrump is super awesome though, such a great area to serve. 

We went to Sandy Valley and had back-to-back lessons all day, it was awesome. We found 2 new people to teach and one of them will definitely be baptized next transfer. If we play our cards right, then all will work out with her. Her name is Cynthia, and she is the wife of a member. She wants the church in her life. I'm super excited to start teaching her but the problem is that she lives in Sandy Valley and that's an hour away. But... it'll all work out, I'm sure.

Our teaching pool is kinda small, but we have the whole ward praying for us and I have hope everything will be okay. 

"And I also remember that thou hast said that thou hast prepared a house for man, yea, even among the mansions of thy Father, in which man might have a more excellent hope; wherefore man must hope, or he cannot receive an inheritance in the place which thou hast prepared."

-Ether 12:32

Sincerely,

Elder Neil Pack
