Hopefully he's just as interested...

Well, it sounds like a good week. Thanks for keeping me updated. It's been busy in Colorado, too, which is good. Highlights:

1. After a like 4 week drought, we were able to find a new investigator on Saturday, yay! The only thing is is he was kind of drunk when we taught him. So but hopefully he's just as interested when he's not drunk!

2. An investigator I'd basically given up on came to church on Sunday! I hadn't seen or heard from her in like more than a month, turns out she went with her member friend to the Dominican Republic, but's back now and we're totally gonna baptize her and it's gonna be great.

3. Thursday was pretty great. We had Zone conference, which was awesome. Basically President Mendenhall told us that if we weren't being obedient, we're Gadianton Robbers and need to repent. That was awesome! And for lunch, we had american enchiladas, the kind with lots of cream and cheese and chicken, and no salsa! At zone conference, we sang "Placentero Nos Es Trabajar" which is a song that's only in the Spanish hymnal, interesting, huh? Just our district sang, plus the one Spanish sister who was serving in the English zones that came. We had three zones (stakes) at the zone conference. Our stake is the only one that has a Spanish ward.

4. Things are going pretty well here in Denver. Right now what we're trying to do is find interested Spanish-speakers in houses, which is a bit of a struggle, but it's fun. We've found that in general, people who live in houses are a bit more legit as in like committed than apartment-dwellers. It's easier to find people who'll let you in in apartments, but there's a lower chance of progression, generally. So we're "discrimatracting" meaning we go to neighborhoods and look for signs of Hispanic-ness. It's exciting!

5. The weather is pretty fantastic! It's pretty much insane--it's been really nice and it's February! What the heck! I don't understand it, it's probably global warming. But I'm enjoying it while I can. It's been in the 70s for crying out loud. And it's FEBRUARY! OH MY GOODNESS WHAT IS GOING ON is how I feel, but it's good, so yay!

So basically it was a good week. It's crazy, this is the last week of the transfer. I don't know what's going to happen, who knows if I stay or go????? Crazy huh????

I'd definitely encourage you to read the scriptures as much as you can, that's a pretty awesome way to get ready for a mission, definitely. I wish I'd read the scriptures more before I came out here. 

Good luck with the everything. I know what it's like. It can be pretty dang nerve-wracking. Procrastination--not the best decision.

I love you all!

Love,
Peter
