It's getting Cold! 11-25 -13

Hey!!!

 

I'm doing  awesome!!!

 

 I love my new bike! It's awesome and it rides pretty well. Thanks for sending it to me. Actually thank Brother Atkinson for arranging it to ride up here on a Knight truck. When Brother Atkinson called to tell me where to meet the driver to get my bike, I was like what the heck!? It was sooooo wierd to hear someone from homes voice. lol  There are a lot of people in our  two wards that know a lot about bikes so if we ever need anything when it comes to bikes then we're set.

 

My new area is like my old area. Everyone here are set in there ways and so they don't really like listening to us at all. We don't really tract that much because our Bishops don't like us tracting. They try to have appointments set up for us each week.

 

 I love my Bishops. They're awesome. They are very missionary minded. We just got a new ward missionary in one of our wards and this guy is a champ. He just moved from Australia and he goes out with us every Sunday. He is Bro. Philips and we're going out with him and Bro. Meza this  Friday and we're going to tract these apartment buildings for about an hour and a half. I'm pumped.

 

 We are always taking bike trails so we try to talk to as many people as we can along the way. We'll get off our bikes and run after them if we have to. Whatever it takes. haha

 

 That's awesome that Alexis Anderson is going to Mexico!! Tell her to baptize plenty of my people for me!! haha.

 

 Tanner  Nally is going to be a champ on his mission. I miss all those guys. It's fun emailing each other though.

 

 Me and my comp are eating at a members on Thanksgiving. We're playing in the turkey bowl in the morning. I'm so pumped for the turkey bowl!!!

 

 So my companion is Elder Enlgand. He is 26 and from Washington St. and he lived in Norterra a couple of years ago. His sister lives by CCV and she knows the Hunters and the Brooksbys . Its a small world.

 

 So, I kinda crashed on my bike yesterday. I hit a curb and fell off the seat and racked myself....It hurt pretty bad. But I'm okay:)

 

 Everything is going pretty well. We're teaching our investigator Gerry tomorrow. We haven't taught him for like 2 weeks so I'm nervous and excited at the same time. I love you all and hope to hear from you super soon!!!

 

Love,

Elder Peugnet

Transfer to Highlands Ranch 11-12-13

Hey!
 

SO sorry I didn't email yesterday. A member told us the library was closed  for Veterens day. But we found out at the end of the day that it was open all day. SO our zone leaders told us just to email today.
 I got transferred to Highlands Ranch!!! It's one of if not the richest part of Colorado! All the houses are huge!
 So we live with some members. They made an apartment in their basement when they built their house just to house missionaries. We have everything. A microwave, stove, oven, fridge, washer, dryer, two bathrooms, everything we need. It's a pretty sweet setup.
 My new address is 698 Ridgemont Circle Highlands Ranch CO, 80126.
 My new companion is elder England! He is from Washington St.  We came out on the same day! So we are training each other! Our mission president must see something in us to put 2 new missionaries together! So he is 26 years old and he is awesome!  He used to live in Arizona. He lived in Norterra! He know where our house is!!! His sisters brother in law lived in Pleasant Valley! Crazy! What a small world!!!
 So my last area was not an area that got white washed! My new area is like my last area. People are really comfortable they way they are. So they don't really like listening to us. But we're not gonna give up.
 I hope I stay in this area for a while. But we'll see what happens.
I need some jeans....I totally left my other ones at my last area.
 I hope I'll have more to write about when I write next week! I love you all sooooo much!!!:)

October 21st: SNOW!

Hi!

 

First off my camera broke...I dropped it and it doesn't work anymore :(

 

We have a debit card and we go shopping every p day. Me and Elder Niue buy our food separately. And we eat at a members house every night for dinner. So we always have lots of leftovers.

 

We go to the temple the first Wednesday of every month. And we go with a lot of Elders.

 

And yeah we finally met with Conference guy...and he wasn't interested though. We were kinda of bummed but we didn't let it stop us. We looked in our area book for people to visit and we visited this lady name Kathy. We knocked on the door and she came out and said "I've told you guys a bunch of times don't knock on my door. I'm Catholic and happy with my religion. I'm gonna warn you. If you knock on my door one more time I'm gonna call the police." Elder Niue was like "We're sorry but we're new in this area and we didn't know. But you go ahead and call your police and we'll see what happens." He said that cause the police can't do anything to us. I thought it was pretty funny.

 

And Elder Niues family probably won't send anything for Christmas. They're really poor and don't have a lot of money. So if you could send him some stuff that would be awesome:)

 

And I'm so proud of Joey for baptizing his friend! That's awesome! Well I love you all very much!

 

Sincerely, Elder Peugnet

 

October 14th: One Month!

Hello!

 

So yes we're teaching a lot of people but most of them are less actives or recent converts. We have a couple of investigators though. There is this guy we tracted into that we call conference call guy. We knocked on his door and he answered and said "Sorry, I'm on a conference call so you guys will have to come back later." So we came back the next day and he came to the door and said "I'm still on a conference call so you guys will have to come back later" hahahaha! We're gonna go back this week again.

 

My area is not too huge. It's mostly all on a mountain hence the name Green Mountain. And we drive everywhere.

 

The deseret book is by the Temple. So when we went to the temple I think two weeks ago we went to deseret book afterwards.

 

 I got the package:) I love you all soooooo much! And I can't wait to hear from you again:) And send as many letters as you can:) Physical letters. Cause those really are golden. I'll send some pictures today too!

 

Love,

Elder Peugnet

We didn't have dinner this night :)

September 15th: The MTC

Hello!!!!

Sorry I haven't emailed yet! The server has been down for the past 2 days.

So the MTC is awesome! I have learned so much here already! It's pretty cool! My companion is Elder Garner and he is from Las Vegas. He is really cool. We get along so well! We are sharing a room with Elders Brown and King. King is from California and Brown is from Idaho. I'm not staying at the main campus at the MTC. I'm at Wyview campus. The 2nd day here me and my companion were made zone leaders. It's a lot of work.

Well my next P day is next Friday hopefully!

Sincerely,

Elder Peugnet
