Note: We've asked repeatedly if any of the packages we and others have sent had arrived--some he requested and others that we thought he might just like, and we've receive precious little response--until today. They were all sent at different times, and at least one was sent before Christmas. In his mission all the mail/packages accummulate at the mission office until the missionaries are allowed to pick it/them up.
"First thanks for all of the packages--I am pretty sure I have them all. Last Tuesday when we were in the temple, another elder leaned over to Elder Miranda and whispered, 'Your comp has 10 packages in the office, maybe 11 today!' When I heard that my eyes nearly popped out of my head and it took everything I had to keep from laughing! And sure enough, when we went to the office there were 11 packages waiting for me. Everyone wants to be Elder Larsen's comp. We had to hire a taxi to get them all home. All the American food and candy is SOOOOO good. I've cooked the mac and cheese and the ramon and it's wonderful, and easy! But the sour skittles, the sour patch kids, and the clif bars are life savers! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I think you might want to slow down on the packages though. I don't want to be known as a rich elder and I don't want to haul 11 home again. Oh ya, the exec. sec Elder Jankowski said that I broke every record in the book. I can't help but laugh!
I can't believe that Richard (Elder Richard Higgenson) met Sister Pierce's family! HOLY COW!
I will see her this Friday, so it will be fun to tell her, that is if she doesn't already know. (Note:
Elder Higgenson, one of Christian's classmates is serving in the Washington Kennewick mission where Sister Pierce lives. Sister Pierce is serving with Christian in Brazil. Small world!)
We have a baptism coming up this Saturday. His name is Giovanni and he is perfect! He called the referral number 6 months ago and asked for a BOM, but the missionaries couldn't find his house and then our area was closed so he didn't get it until now. He is super excited about the church, is reading the BOM all the time, and has already read the entire March Liahona. We gave it to him on Sunday. He doesn't have any problems. He is ready!
Obrigado, Elder Christian"

It was fun to read about Christians 11 packages coming all at once. I wonder if they were sent at different times and just happened to accumulate at once. It's good to hear that he seems to be assimilating more into mission life.
