Hey Mom and Dad,
How's it going? I got the letter with pictures and the package. Jaxon is a cutie for sure. They said i have another letter from ya'll at the Warners but I won't be able to get it until Wednesday, that's when I go in to shop and when I will send this. So if I don't answer the questions or talk about that letter, no worries cuz it'll be in the next one. I loved the cards you sent thanks:) The glasses are way nice I like them a lot. We threw the ball around for a while when it came, but I sent it to Weno cuz I wanna save it for zone p-day. Dad looks old in the pic with Jaxon and skinny, I was laughing pretty hard. You better hit the weights Harry or I'm gonna toss you when I get home! ha ha JK. The language is good I an growing a lot. I feel like my testimony has grown a TON.
Feb 10th.....
Today is good, we have taught some good lessons so far. We went to a guy named Morphy. He lives on the top of this mountain that I hate. ha ha but they are way good so it's alright. It's lunch time I had a can of tuna with pepper on it. Sounds good eh? I miss variety. I can't wait for sundays at G-mas again. I could go for some good Mexican food. ha ha, I say Ha ha a lot. I think I'm going nuts out here. It's ok I'll snap out of it. Well gang the Church is true, I boldly testify of that every day and I love it. Jesus is the Christ, our Lord and Savior. The Book of Mormon is the word of God, the keystone of our religion, and was translated by young un-educated boy by the power of the Holy Ghost. I know these things are true by the power of prayer. I have recieved a personal witness of these things.I feel the truth of the Book of Mormon every time I read it. The BOM references Christ 2,143 times, it truely is another testament of Jesus Christ. You can't read a page without finding it talking about our Savior. I love the work and I am working hard at it. I love you guys, but I best be going.
Love Elder Peterson
