Dear Family, This week we were supposed to go to the Spokane Temple, but it snowed a lot in Spokane so we can't go. So our P-Day was changed this week so that's why my letter is late. You will get this sometime next week so Merry Christmas and I'll talk to you soon. Love Elder Garrett. (so we thought that was all that he wrote, but on the other side of the paper he wrote this) Just kidding, I have one thing to tell you. Eric Castillo is going to be baptized on Dec. 27th. He is 14 years old and a really cool kid.


When we talked to him on Christmas, Elder Garrett told us that the fast Sunday in December him, his companion and Eric fasted so that his mom would change her mind. A few days after that Sunday they asked his mom again if he could be baptized. She said that she didn't think that it would make him a bad person, so she told her son that she would give her OK for him to be baptized. It was really good to talk to Duston on Christmas, him and his companion stayed with a family Christmas eve, and they made it a really special Christmas for them.
