Hey, my first few days were really good! They were really slow, but after we hit Sunday this week as flown by! The food here is great! i have eaten almost every single meal. There has only been a couple of meals with onions so awesome. Even with all the meals I still get cereal because its great, and they also have Nutella sandwiches and I have like three of those a day! My companion name is named Elder Cooley, he is a really cool dude! He is from Layton Utah. I saw the Van Pelt kid and there have been a couple of theirs and I also so Danny on his first day and said what up to him.
The mosquitoes aren't that bad right now, They said that it is suppose to get worse because of the rainy season. Since I have been here it has rained every single day.the mosquitoes haven't been bad though. But it is beautiful out here, very green. Mexico city though is very dirty and kind of a sketchy place. That is awesome that tanner won that tournament! tell him to keep working hard and keep up the good work.That doesn't surprise me at all that Skyler and Colby wanted to stay home the entire time.
This week has been great though! i have learned so much in so little time. The spanish is coming slowly but surely. Also its kinda hard to understand the teachers out here because they mostly just speak spanish, but i am doing great. My district is probably the coolest district in the entire world. They are the funniest people i have ever met, there is never a dull moment with these guys. please send this email to all of are family. i am scared to take out the ipod because nobody else has one or anything like that. I hope you guys are doing great i love and miss everyone. The gospel is awesome
Since I have a little time left i will tell you guys about my first week
So on the third day we get to teach a investigator in Spanish about the gospel. That was a treat for sure. So we prepare our lesson, and translate it to Spanish and we think its all good. So we teach him and he tells us that he will read the book of Mormon and start to pray more. we get out of there thinking wow that was awesome, The next thing we know we had been teaching the wrong guy for the last half hour. Come to find out the investigators are just teachers to. They say though they do what the spirit tells them they should do.
There is a Elder in my district named Elder Cottle. He told us he could split a apple in half with his head. My companion and I kept telling him he couldn't do it and it was impossible. So in the middle of lunch, you would put your finger were the stem is and hit it with your forehead. He hit the apple like five times with his head before it split in half. it was probably one of the funniest things i have ever experienced.
Then last night we were trying to figure out a way the we could welcome the new missionary's to are district to the CCM. So our district leader decided the we would have a rap battle about the gospel so we could get some ideas. So at like 10 o'clock last night kids were rapping about the gospel and just saying some of the funnest things i have ever heard.I couldn't join in with the raps become i was laughing so hard!
i wish i could have emailed you and tanner on your birthdays so, HaPpY BiRtHdAy! i hope you guys and a great day.
Elder Peterson
