Week 26 "Two Birthday Parties"

Elder Larson had a busy week this week.  It was the week of miracles which means a lot of fasting, praying and work!  Elder Larson was lucky to be able to work with his mission president on his birthday.  He didn't mention to his president that is was his birthday all day.  The next day, Elijah got a call from the mission president saying how sorry he was that he hadn't told him Happy Birthday. 

As parents we were so worried that Elijah wasn't going to have a good birthday.  Some of the packages we have mailed him, have never made it to him.  We shouldn't have worried, Elijah's cook Ana had a little party for him with cupcakes, balloons, streamers and signs.  How grateful we are for Ana.  She has been good to Elijah. 

Elijah was even more spoiled when on Sunday a new member and her family had another birthday party for him.  He said that he had the biggest cake.  Maribel and Hector have been very good to Elijah.  He said that Maribel started crying and told hm that he was like a son.  We are very thankful for Maribel, Hector and their family.
