Spoke to Elder Peter last night!! It was awesome to hear his voice. Boy do I miss him. He is doing really well. He says it is hot!! He is in one of the nicest apartments of the mission and is really appreciating it, after having lived in the trailer!! He likes his companion and he says that the people in the ward are feeding them well!! He also said that he has lost some weight with all the bike riding they are doing. Way to go Peter!! He did say that because they are now in the city, people are a little rough around the edges (they had a bottle thrown at them) but he is loving all the opportunities to teach the gospel because the percentage of members is a lot less here.

We are so glad and grateful that we were able to talk to him this Mother's Day. I know he also got to Skype with my Mom, which he LOVED!! He said it made him feel so good to see them and be able to talk to them. What a wonderful miracle the Internet can be. I know he also talked with Marcy and he got to talk to each of my kids, which they LOVED!!

Peter, we love you and are so proud of you. You are an amazing young man and are doing a wonderful work. Keep up the good work and we will talk to you at Christmas!!
