(The things my missionary thinks about just makes me LAUGH!! Enjoy!)
Mother and Father,
Mother and Father,
First of all, I just want to
make it known that I went running this morning.(WOW!!) Last week I didn't
notice the difference, but this week I certainly have. Those Mito2Max
supplements are really working. I just feel like I have so much more
energy throughout the day. It's helping me get the energy I need to keep
exercising.
This week was rough. We really had nothing
going for us. I think every appointment fell through except one. I will,
however, give you some highlights.
1. We finished P-Day last
week with a foosball tournament at the Institute building. The YSA
Elders are seasoned pros at this point, so I was torn asunder by them.
It was fun nonetheless.
2. Brother T, who is not a member, but his wife is, bought us lunch on Saturday.
I got a steak burrito at Cafe Rio, and it was amazing. I've made the
decision that I want Cafe Rio to cater my wedding. I think it's my
favorite place to eat. I wanted to be sealed at the Oakland Temple, but I
may need to change that to a temple closer to a Cafe Rio. (I'm not sure what to even comment on this. I just laughed!)
3. I
went on exchanges with our Zone Leader Elder S. He's a really
great elder from Twin Falls, Idaho. His decision to serve a mission was a
hard one. (I'm friends with his mom on the Fort Collins Mission FB website.)
4. We had ONE appointment not fall through. M is
a spiritual giant, and I can only wish that I could get to his level.
The first thing he told me was that I shouldn't worry about what I was
going to say, because he was going to take it to the Lord after our
lesson, and God would reveal the truth to him. He has a very real
relationship with our Father in Heaven. He also said that the teachings
we brought ringed very true in the logical and emotional sides of him,
and he just needs a spiritual confirmation. Elder M predicts that
he is going to be a general authority in a few years.
5. Moroni Books is closed on Mondays.... (Not a highlight!) (Guess I'll need to get that boy a journal!)
6.
Brother L gave me a book called "Five Classics by Truman G.
Madsen" He wants me to read an essay called "Eternal Man" and President
Brown gave me permission. I've read a bit so far, and it is amazing. I
don't think mankind is ready to accept that we have always existed, and
always will exist. There is no end to us, but there was also no
beginning. (Andrew LOVES this kind of stuff.)
For some ridiculous reason, I've
been thinking a lot about marriage this week, and not just the food
that's going to be served at it.(Do I freak out, yet????!!!!) Just about how I want my mission to
get me ready for marriage, and what kind of husband/father I want to be. Here is what
True to the Faith says about preparing for marriage: "If you are single, prepare yo
Peter needs to make money to get ready for marriage, so go Peter! (How about Peter needs to make money to help pay for SCHOOL??!!)
I just talked to Elder M, and we decided that 6pm
my time would be a good time to Skype.(Next Sunday is Mother's Day
and we get to talk to each other. That will be a great time because the
grandparents will be over at our house. YEAH!!) I'll talk to the E's and I'll
have Sister E send you any additional information.
I'll keep up the supplements. I feel so healthy. Read Proverbs Chapter 15 this week. It's a good one! (I've put it on my to-do list!)

P.S. Here's a district photo. I should know transfer info when we Skype! (I've
added two pictures that were sent to my phone this week. I have no idea
who sent them. They are of Elder Campbell and Elder M!)
