this week has been full of meetings and
conferences again, and we've been busy but were doing good. the only
problem we have is with our lack of investigators, but we are
continually looking for those to teach. we've been working a lot with the
members of the ward lately and just had a branch activity for the first
time here in one year! about 25 members came and we had a great time
talking and doing a "hold to the iron rod" activity where all the
members had to hold onto a rope and walk through the church blindfolded
to try to get to the tree of life at the other end of the church. we
shared some cool videos and it turned out really well. we were only
expecting 15 people but 25 showed up in the end! huge success here in
santa cruz.
this week all the zone leaders in
the mission went to a mission council meeting to talk about the needs
of the mission and it was really cool. we are going to start to focus
way more on preach my gospel now and i cant wait to see the changes and
blessings that will come. you guys should read it regardless if you are
full time missionaries or not.
well that's
about all that happened this week. were going to keep on workin and
looking for people to teach, keep us in your prayers!! love you guys,
have a great week. good luck on the trek, let me know how it goes next
week. im sure it will be a great experience for the kids. those kids are
lucky to have such a great ma and pa!!

thanks for writing me niño! sounds like you had a great time with the
churchs at the river!! im stoked for you to play tackle football, you're
going to be great at it. keep your head down and keep trucking those
other kids. good choice on taking piano lessons, it will come in handy
on your mission, no body in our zone, and one person can play a little
bit in our branch, so i wish i would have followed through with my piano
lessons. don't quit niño. it will be worth it. the girls will love you
too ha. we haven't found any investigators yet and nothing crazy or scary
has happened this week. its been a slow easy week this week. today we
went to la casa mexicana a nd i got a super good mega burrito that was
way good and not disgusting. love you niño, thanks for the email!! talk
to you next week, keep up the good work buddy!!
love elder pacheco
