These Photos come from Sister Elise Pack's mother.  She posted them on Facebook and they are from around Thanksgiving time.  Which is perfect, because it was during the time Jeffrey didn't have a camera!  Sister Pack is in Jeffrey's district.  

Elise's District threw a surprise Birthday Party for her!

Hello... and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well my family and friends, this week was a good week here in cubulco!  We had some interesting things happen during the transcourse of this week!  Starting off with the weirdest experience of this week was that we were just in the street walking, when we saw one of the young men (member) in the street with his friends... so we started talking to them and well long story short this member is very less active, and a little bit strange... and well we were talking to him and he snuck something to Elder tello... and he told him to put it in his pocket and not open it until we got home... so when we turned the corner out of curiosity (pardon my spelling).. opened the bag... and it was full of weed...  Yup the weed that you smoke..so we just threw it in the garbage can and walked away... oops...

Next story is that we have this one investigator named luki which is very smart... and yesterday in church Elder Tello was teaching Gospel Principles, and he mentioned something about his study journal for the scriptures.. and after the class she asked us if we could give her some scriptures to study so that she could start a study journal.. and so after church when one of the members left to work with us he commented to us that he passed by her house (theyre friends) and he saw her study journal full!!!! and she told him that she is for sure going to get baptized that there is no doubt in her mind!  So that was pretty cool!

Also lastly I am just thankful for thanksgiving... we were able to eat thanksgiving dinner in a members house and we had turkey with rice!  So it wasnt quite the usual turkey with mashed potatoes, but it was still pretty good!

Well that is about all folks!

Another week gone

Well this week was another adventurous week!  But I am super tired because we just got done playing tennis... and it was my first time playing a sport other than soccer in like 16 months and so I am super tired, but I will try my best to share with you guys what has happened this week!

So now we have two investigators that are sisters name Erika and Luki... they are wife and sister in law of a member in Cubulco and we are teaching them and they finally decided that they want to get baptized!  So we are just going to prepare them a little and then they will get baptized within a few weeks!  So we are pretty excited for that!

But this week we had a district conference on sunday (for those that live in utah and dont know what that is, but it is like stake conference but for the branches..)  and so we had to take the whole group of cubulco to salama, which is about 2 hours away... and well this week we only ended up with an attendance of 10 but that is ok... we are still super excited for this next week!

As for me and Elder tello we are doing good.. he is making his final preparations to go home in like 2 weeks so we are kind of sad to see him go...

And well I guess that that is all...

Good Luck! 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Winter

Sounds like it is winter back at home, everyone is getting sick.  I guess that you could call it winter here, but it still is pretty warm.  I miss the cold from home.  It never gets cold here...  but its hilarious here because the people here are freezing right now.  Im not exactly sure how cold it is but I dont feel cold at all here, but we will pass people here that are wearing like 2 dresses 5 shirts, 2 coats, and of course the usual basket on top of their head.  So yeah they dont like the cold...

This week was thanksgiving!!!  Our zone went to a members house for thanksgiving and we were expecting something like chicken, with rice or something like that.  But on the tables there was dominoes pizza, which we eat a ton here, so we werent too excited for that.  But we ate the pizzas, but then after the pizzas she brought out turkey, and mashed potatoes.  It was the best.  So we actually had a turkey thanksgiving!  It was not that great but it was awesome at the same time!

Also this week we had a multizone conference in Coban, where a person from the area 70, President Amado.  And it was pretty great, but it was a little long.  It started at 9 in the morning and went until 4 in the afternoon, but it was pretty great.  This was the day after Thanksgiving so we slept over at the ZLs house and we woke up at 4 to leave because it is like a 2 and a half hour bus ride.  But the other sucky part is we stayed up until 2 the night before talking to our ZLs about random crap, so we went to a 7 hour zone conference on two hours of sleep.  Ooops, guess we arent that smart.  But we did all stay awake, so that was good...  

Not much else has passed in my area this week, but Christmas is near!!!  My scripture Ether 12:27.  It is really great...
