Elder Sommer and Elder Kapple

Hola familia como estan? How is everything going? It sounds like Erika, Andrew, Todd, and Kayli just have been going on a bunch of vactions and mom and dad have been gotten stuck at home doing all of the chores-  ha-ha. Erika, that's crazy that you’re about to have your baby; are you going to name him Nathan? I hope that you have fun in Lake Powell KK, but it probably won’t be as fun as last year when we went for the senior trip - ha-ha. Mom, I got my packages; thank you so very much for sending those.  I still haven’t opened my birthday one yet.  I'll save it for my birthday.  That was terrible news about Seth Pack in Afghanistan; let me know how he is doing.  Well, this week was pretty good.  We left Monday from the island and I had the opportunity to work with the ZL’s for a day.  Then on Tuesday and Wednesday I worked with Elder Villagran.  He came at the same time that I did.  He's really cool and we had some good experiences together.  He's from Guatemala.  Then on Wednesday my new comp. came.  He's from the lovely state of Idaho in the city of Middleton which is right next to Boise.  His name is Elder Sommer.  I have only met him once before in the mision and it was my first day.  He has one change more than me.  I have been made senior comp. which also means that I'm the new branch president. Kind of crazy, I know, but as comps, we still do the same things.  He's been close to the City of San Pedro his entire mision so he was happy to come here.  A little different than me, but I like him.  He's a really nice kid and is willing to work hard. We then worked with the ZL's Wednesday night and headed for Utila Thursday morning.  So we really didn't work much on the island this week.  However, we found a really cool investigator this week named Exel.  The missionaries taught her in La Ceiba but she moved here.  We found her because we were looking for some other guy that wanted us to pass by and we contacted her when we were looking for him.  She has already recieved all the lessons and has a testimony but needs to get married but the good thing is that she already has been planning on getting married.  We have only had one appointment so we'll see how things go.  We really need to start focusing more on the members out here.  We only had 25 people at church Sunday and at the beginning of the year there were 35 to 40.  So that is one thing that we will focus on a little bit more.  President Veirs is coming out next weekend to do a conference so we’re hoping we can have a lot of people make it to that.
Well, I hope you guys have a great week this week.Thanks for everything.  I Love you all!!!Elder Kapple
