Well you got jipped. Yesterday was may long weekend and no one in town was open at all. So I get to Email today. This last week was a pretty good one, President Thomas came to our district meeting and did Interviews on Wednesday. It was a very positive experience, I got a good amount of one on one time with him and we talked about a lot of things. It was our last interview before the new mission president comes in so he was kind of saying goodbye. This last week right after interviews we had a lesson with an investigator named Justin. He said some pretty ignorant things about our church that he felt from reading the introduction. We didn't want to bash so we waited for him to run out of steam, and I think what we said made a difference. It was hard, and if I was graded on the information and smoothness that I gave to him, I would have probably failed, but we were able to give him something to think about. I'm glad to hear you got the mail that I sent, I wasn't sure if you would get it anytime soon. I hope that Dad liked the sketches that I sent, I think they were pretty decent. They are authentic native drawings so of course they are good.
(I commented on how deep his voice was on during the Mothers day call)
It even surprises me when I look at videos of me how deep my voice is. It doesn't sound that deep to me when I talk. I really enjoyed talking to all of you, although I don't know if it's because I'm a terrible person or not, but my brain shuts right down when I think about family history. My companion is going to teach me a little I think and then maybe I'll like it.
The people we are meeting with right now are a few native people, they are progressing.. kind of. Two people both named Justin, they are both lukewarm on the idea of the church, but they are willing to argue with us a little about our church. So that is nice. We teach a fillipina lady who enjoys (I think) our message and I like going over there. We helped a woman in the ward move some things out of her house that is divorcing her husband. I like her husband so I felt bad about it. Hands down one of the most awkward service projects of my mission. Other than that, the week went well, It seems like Weeks tend to either be service heavy, or missionary work heavy. This last week we did a lot of service.
Other than that, The pictures I sent were of Elder Stevens and I trying to look like that one picture of the guy and his wife and the pitchfork, the next is of me wrestling my companion on the couch and "Penguining" him (just a humiliating way of pinning someone down) and the other one is of the dishes we did after helping with a mothers day dinner.
(I'll post these on my fb page)
I Love you and I thank you for all that you do! Sorry for not breaking into a store and using their computer to email! Love You!
Elder Peterson
