I've realized that Chex mix is a weakness of mine.

Oh my goodness it sounds like it's gonna be a pretty dang interesting week for you! Good luck!

I appreciate the news updates! Super exciting for Taylor, and I'm extremely jealous of the Chex Mix. I've realized that Chex mix is a weakness of mine. I can't buy it too often from the store because I know I'll eat it in about 2 days, and that's just kind of a waste of money :/.

Okay I'm just going to go ahead an answer the questions! So service! There's this really cool service project that we've been going to this transfer, that's called the Crisis Center. It's basically a homeless shelter, and it's just really great to help out there. We've been doing a lot of stuff, from making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to mowing their lawn, to cleaning out some rooms, and it's really great. The person who works the most with us is "Mama D", who is this awesome, extremely sassy black lady. She's basically the best part of service. 

And we have been having some pretty great weather lately. The only thing is, I kind of want it to rain more! It has rained a bit, but it always seems like it rains for like 5 minutes and then stops. I'm kind of missing the consistency of Oregon rain :).

This week was pretty good for us! It started out pretty slow, but we've seen a lot of good things the rest of the week. 

On Saturday, we found our first new investigator of the transfer (that's not a great thing for the rest of the transfer, but it was pretty exciting), he's a cool guy! He's 18, and it seems like his family just moved from Mexico, but I can't really tell. Hopefully we'll be able to see him a lot more. 

Another pretty cool thing was on Wednesday, we got to go out on splits with the ward leadership, and a bunch of people from the stake leadership, to go visit less active members. I went with the Ward YM president, and the Stake YM president and one of his counselors, and that was a pretty cool experience. I had a really cool experience at the very end, as well, when there was some like review going on with the Stake and the ward. The Stake YM president gave some advice to our YM president, and I could really just feel that it was revelation. It was really cool to get that sort of testimony that the YM president really was called by God, and that he did have that authority.

Apart from that, it was a pretty normal week. Visited quite a few less-active families, had a member take us out to get Pho, which was great, and yeah.

I'm really looking forward to General Conference! While emailing, I was listening to President Uchtdorf's Talk from Womens' conference, and that was pretty rad. Everyone should listen to/watch it because it's great.

Anyways, It's been pretty great here, and I hope everyone has a great week. I'll be praying for you!

 

Love,

Peter
