Dear Family,
Sorry about yesterday. The mission president was in our area because we have interviews later today and he wanted to spend some extra time with my companion because he had an anxiety attack pretty much the other day. He is doing good now though and we talked it out and gave him a blessing. And then we were still able to make our tee time. It was really fun being out on a golf course again. It was elder Farbs first time ever playing real golf so it took a long time to play all 18 holes but no one was ever behind us so the only thing rushing us was the sun going down. We went with our WML and one of his friends. We also played basketball in the morning and so i slept really good last night. I was tired. I do carry a water bottle around with me so i don't get dehydrated. That has been a big focus that Sister Jergensen tells us to do.
That is so cool to hear about Braden! Germany that's way sweet. So he goes into the MTC on Halloween. That's interesting. Good thing he has a lot of family in the area he could stay with the night before or whatnot. Also congrats on winning mom. Well our baptism that was scheduled for this weekend is being pushed back because we are still trying to get permission from their mom so that they can be baptized. We have a big meeting with all of their family on Wednesday night which is exciting. We've been teaching them at the church so it'll be good to get into their house. Also the ward council is getting a lot more involved now and trying to get a good support group going for them. We were able to set a baptismal date with another fellow by the name of Nathan this past week. It's not until August 11th, but it's always good to have a goal to go for.
The district is doing well. We had a baptism this last saturday which Chase and Cameron were able to attend. It was over in Davenport. Also i'm doing another baptismal interview on Thursday for the zone leaders over in Davenport. Something cool that is happening this week is Thursday night through Sunday night the stake is doing a program that is called Called to Serve. Young men from the stake go out with the missionaries and basically just go on splits for 3 days. They don't stay the night with us, but we drop them off at where they are staying at night and then they meet up with us in the morning for studies. We are getting 2 young men from Dubuque which is a couple of hours north and west. It is a cool program and should be pretty fun. Hopefully we can stay pretty busy for those couple of days and allow them to have good experiences and get excited about serving missions.
Well like i said we have interviews with President Jergensen later today which will be nice. We are also going for a training for our district and one other district in the zone like an hour earlier. I'm not exactly sure what that all entails. It is also crazy that it's almost July. Our ward is having a Fourth of July picnic type thing which should be fun. Unfortunately we'll probably have to be back in our apartment before all of the fireworks start going off. I hope all goes well for all of you this next week. Also congrats Rachael on the big news! That's exciting.
Love, Elder Peterson
