This is a picture from last week at Zone Conference, his mission presidents have a blog called LoCo in Chile and we found this. His last meal with Elder Casperson (sitting at his left).
Connor
wasn’t able to email a blog letter today however I did get to email back and
forth with him this morning for a time.
He is missing Elder Casperson, and says this past week has definitely
been the hardest one so far. His new
missionary companion is from Peru,
Elder Maguina, he can speak some English so he speaks English to Connor to practice and Connor speaks Spanish to him. He is a little discouraged as no one seems to
want to hear their message. No matter
how discouraged he is, he always ends with an optimistic outlook for the new
week and says “I will work hard, keep my head up and don’t worry mom, I will be
fine!”
Something
I was ecstatic about was he received both packages I have sent to him, so there
is hope he will get the Christmas packages that are now on their way to him! He only opened one package with some photos,
treats, letters and a t-shirt we sent.
He didn’t know whether or not to open the Thanksgiving one. I told him there was no Thanksgiving dinner
in it so to open whenever he wanted. I
am hoping with all your messages of gratitude to him, he might open it on a day
he’s feeling down and then he will be smiling before long!
