Hello everyone!!

Everything is going well and it's so much fun training. Sadly, no one got baptized. The adversary knows how to throw rocks into the machine.... or giant monkey wrenches. It's pretty sad, but it will all work out.

It's really fun being a trainer. My companion is Elder Peterson and he's from Star Valley, Wyoming. He knows how to work and he loves it here. Friday, I made "yok" for him and that didn't sit too well, I guess. He threw up... But he's doing better and he's having fun. The first day he was here we went to Bro. McCadam's house and we got stuck on a hill. It was iced over and I took the turn to sharp. Then this guy came and helped us get out. It was a pretty great experience. We were really blessed. Then we went to the Trent's and had a "great" gospel discussion with their daughter. She is really hard-headed and wants the answer NOW. So all-in-all, it was a great first day for Elder Peterson. Elder Peterson is about 4 days old. He's BRAND NEW. And yok is the best thing EVER!!! It's too hard to explain, but I'll make it for you though.

We had fun Saturday and today. We cut wood both days and split it too. We were really tired and sore on Saturday. Elder Peterson fell asleep standing up in Gospel Principles. It was kind of funny and sad too. But he's still here and loves being here.

It's pretty awesome out here. We're having a lot of fun and we're getting really tired out.

Love you all,

-Elder Ricky-dude
