What a Difference a Week Makes -

Last week was a tough one.  He wrote a little frustrated with his new companion.  And as his mom I worried and prayed hard for him and his companion.  As you will see in this letter he is growing so much and his faith and trust in a loving Heavenly Father is too.  Love him so much and was so relived after reading this week's letter.  Enjoy...

What up family!

Welp sounds like you had a sweet week and Elder Petersens homecoming was way sweet ya man hes such a great guy and was an amazing elder and honestly taught me how to be a missionary and honestly i am going to be the hard worker he was i am not gonna have any regrets. Im sorry about my letter last week i and about raging with all sorts of stuff but honestly right here i love this church and gospel i do and i want to share this with these kind giving humble people here and i might have some road blocks or obstacles in my way but freak im gonna get through them. One way or another its whatever.  I know there is a lesson to learn here and im learning it but in the end it WILL turn out all good as long as i give my all every day and thats my goal. i have never been so tired as i am on some of these days but so far its all totally worth it. Spanish is on another level for me now its Hard to communicate still i mean not as much in the lessons but just street talk its a little difficult but guess what im gonna get through this and one day be able to speak without thinking )I hope at least. 

Anyways this week we did some different thing first a companionship in our district needed to use the Baptismal font so we went to study in the church in the morning and fill it up. So it was on for like 20 mins and we were studying then the power went out which means the water stops too so we stayed studying hoping the water would come on then at 10 we decided we had to do something or the baptism wouldnt happen so we went to the WELL yes the church has a well and started filling buckets of water walking into the church and filling the font by means of bucket i have no idea how many it took but it took us 2 hours of non stop work it was hard but man what a story right. And the family got baptized so in the end it was all totally good.

Then on Sunday none of our investigators came again freak this is ridiculous i dont know why nobody comes to church its hard when they dont show up but whatever but on a good note we had attendance of 114 personas the most ive ever seen but i did fing out that this ward has over 700 members just inactive crazy huh.
