A Happy Place To Be

Nothing makes missionary parents happier than to have
their son write home and say. . ."there is no other place
in the world I'd rather be right now!!"
Peter's District had the honor of being the top baptizing
district in the mission last week. Their hard work and
dedication is blessing many lives!! He said this in a recent
email, "While teaching an investigator I totally sat there
in the lesson and just kept smiling because it was such a
happy place to be." I'm reminded of a quote by Brother
Barrett in our ward who once served as a mission president,
he stated "Anyone can go on a mission but not everyone is a
missionary." I think Peter has caught the true spirit of
missionary work---keep it up Elder!!!

My Brothers Didn't Do This



Peter is having alot of fun making sure his brothers
know that HE is doing things on his mission
that they didn't do while on their missions. . .

. . .Yep they didn't ride a tryke (above) or a bull (below)
Nope----they didn't have to take pills to prevent "intestinal problems"
Not one of them ever climbed a coconut tree or sliced
the coconut open with a really wicked looking knife
Not one of them lost 50 pounds or. . .
. . .tried preaching the Gospel to a monkey----- regardless
they ALL had their own adventures that they wouldn't
trade for anything!!
