CRAZINESS!

Dear Everyone,

It sounds like it's been a pretty crazy week! You're gonna have to send me any pictures you can get from the musical, that sounds like it's gonna be a lot of fun.

To answer the questions you had last week:

 

Yes I'm still in Aurora. I know a lot of the missionaries that are around here, because it's the same zone I was in last transfer. It's in the same stake. 

 

And we live at a members' house. It's pretty great because they buy all of our groceries.

 

But Oh MAN! It has been a crazy week, let me tell you. Just a lot of craziness going on. CRAZINESS! Let me give you some highlights:

 

1. 3 out of my first 4 dinners were pizza.

 

2. Met and started teaching a guy from Ghana who's a chief there, just visiting here for a while.

 

3. Went with a member to try some potential investigators, one of them spoke French, as did the member, so we sat there while the member taught the first lesson in French.

 

4. Had a less active deal my companion and the bishop a hand of texas hold 'em (the guy's not all there)

 

5. Completely insane blizzard Saturday evening. It got so bad we weren't allowed to drive our car (perk of this area: we get a 4x4 truck), so we had to get members to drive us around.

 

6. Our chapel is super old, from the time before there was the like standardized building plan. So the chapel has this massive mural of the Sermon on the Mount right behind the pulpit.

 

So yeah things are going good. Lots of meetings, and it's weird not being in Spanish, but I love this ward already. There are some really great members. Our ward mission leader's a really awesome guy, and the ward's just really supportive. We don't have a ton of investigators as of now, but that's alright! We'll get it moving!

 

One thing that's I've definitely learned even more this week is that sometimes, Heavenly Father's gonna put you in situations that you don't want to be in, not because He wants to torture you, but because He knows it's going to make you stronger and teach you something. I'm just doing my best to learn from all the craziness going on. It's a lot of fun.

 

Thank you so much for everything. I love you a lot!

Peter
