| Christmas lights! All geared up for Christmas! |
Yes, transfers once again. I will be
staying in Pecos with Elder Palmer for his last transfer! This week during our
planning he told me his goal is to not get trunky. So he asked me to not talk
to him about going home or how long he has left etc. So of course what has
everyone in the ward been doing this week? It wasn't me though. I am being very
good about it. We did get the twelve ways of Christmas package you sent and
we're loving it so far. Thanks! The branch did have a Christmas party this
week. We invited lots of people. None of our investigators came, but lots of
less actives did and that was great. Parties are always a good excuse to get
people to come out to church.

Elder Palmer's baby ficus tree.

This week we had some sweet lessons
with Javier! He has been reading the Book of Mormon. When he doesn't understand
it, he goes back and rereads the chapter again too. He loves it so far and is
really recognizing the spirit. Those prayers are working! We challenged him to
be baptized again, but he still wants to learn more in addition with talking to
his wife about it. She lives in Andrews Texas. This weekend he went out there
to spend it with her. Pray that everything went well with that. I think she's
Catholic? There were 62 people at church this week in Pecos, and 53 in Van
Horn. Apparently, a high school basketball team came up from a mormon school
down in Mexico and went to church there. 53 people all crowded into a member's
home for church. Imagine that!
For your information, Elder Palmer
is a Spanish Elder. No, we do not get to use a car ever. So all those outside
towns that we cover do not ever get visited by missionaries. We are stuck here
in Pecos. But it's a big place to cover just on bikes, so it's ok.
Jessica was a church again this
week. Good news for Danny: he has now been smoke free for 6 days! keep praying
for him to go strong! On Sundays when he has to work, he has Jessica bring his
Bluetooth to church, that way he can still listen in while he is working.
Sometimes in Sunday School he even has Jessica make comments for him. It's
pretty awesome.
Cesar turns out isn't too
interested. But his step-son Sam IS. He told us it's alright if we keep
teaching him, so we have been this last week and that has been going well. This
week we're working hard at getting him to meet some young men in the branch.

Overall a good week. I hope it was
good for y'all as well. I love you mom! I love you dad! I love you Meagan! I
love you Courtney!
