How are ya'll doing?
I'm doing good. This past week has been a big service week. We were cutting wood 4 days out of the week. We got to use a fourteen pound splitting maul and man that thing was heavy! If you were able to get it over your head and drop it, the thing would split a log. Then if you put so force into it, the log would explode into two pieces. It was AWESOME! I love doing service!
This week is going to be fun. I get to go to a leadership training thing that goes from Tuesday until Friday from 10 to 5 everyday. I'm excited because this is going to be an awesome experience for me and for Elder Peterson. We're both gonna learn and grow a lot. Elder Pounder, from the Clover Hill ward (that's where George Hill, my distant cousin, lives) will be coming and staying with Elder Peterson for those 4 days. It's gonna be great!
I'm excited, this week is going to be full of awesome stuff.
So, Elder Peterson, is a Spiritual giant. He is awesome and loves to learn and wants to grow. It's so cool to be with him. We sit down sometimes and just talk about the scriptures and it's nonstop Spirit that comes from him. He's is awesome. He is a great missionary and is gonna be known through out the mission. It's so cool to be with him.
I love y'all so much!
Take care, be safe, and remember you're children of God.

Oh, by the way...
We had our president interviews last Wednesday and we showed up in service clothes, with gas and bar oil on us cause we were using chainsaws and getting wood to one of our investigators, and all he said about it was "you getting a little chainsaw action there? Aww, I miss it." He loved the fact that we showed up in service clothes!
President Perry is the coolest mission president EVER!!!
P.S. The Church is true!
