This week was kind of slow again

Hey!

It sounds like it's been a pretty entertaining week.

I'm pretty glad that I get to serve a mission too! It's pretty great. 

This week was kind of slow again--we had like 12 appointments cancel! But there were some pretty cool things too! We got to go to the temple, which was pretty awesome! Deseret Book is right next to the temple, so we went there as well. I got a book that they give in the MTC for missionaries who are learning Portuguese! So maybe I'll figure out how to speak a little bit of that by the time I'm home! That'd be pretty cool. 

We also had a pretty cool zone meeting, where we were trained about a couple of awesome things. One particularly interesting thing was we had one training about like family history work, but the main thing was to help us understand what is the spirit of Elijah. So they had us all tell stories in groups about our families. Then our zone leader asked us how we felt while we were sharing that. I guess those feelings of like happiness and love are like the spirit of Elijah! Who knew?

So aside from all that, we've been mostly working with less-actives and members, and trying to find more investigators, because we don't really have any right now. So we were actually able to get in contact with a lot of less-actives that it seems like haven't been taught or contacted in a really long time, so that was pretty cool (those were some of the appointments that cancelled, though, which was less happy...). Anyways, this week we're going to be doing more finding, and it's going to be great.

It's been a little bit of a slow week for us, but we've been working hard, and so hopefully things will pick up this week. Kind of fun story: We had dinner yesterday at probably the biggest, nicest house that I've been to since February, with the family in the ward that's probably the most well-off. Where do they get their money, you might ask? Well, he owns a Landscaping company. This is where sterotypes come from!

I hope things are all going great for you all. It was a kind of uneventful week for us this week, so sorry I'm not writing a super ton. But it's great to be here in Aurora. I really do love it.

Love,

Peter
