sad good bye

Hey Everyone!

So this is Jeff Rockett. He was one of our most solid investigators...his story is crazy. The missionaries have been teaaching him for about 5-6 months now. He was homeless with his girlfriend Suzi. That lady that got baptized a couple of weeks ago and he was working his way to baptism. Unfortunately he and Suzi fight a lot and aren't very good for each other....So they finally got in a fight and Suzi told jeff to leave and on Thursday his dad came from Texas and picked him up.
Suzi is completely depressed and we haven't been able to see her since last thursday...Sad days...
Pray for them.

Jeff and I

I'm sure going to miss this guy, I hope the missionaries find him in Texas

A little friendly competition before Jeff left for Texas.

P-day fun.:)

Hey!
(note from Evie: I had mention to Adam that his younger brother and sister will be participating in a Pioneer Trek this summer)
Man!!! I miss the trek so much!!!! They are going to have so much fun! My favorite game was the stick pull!  Funny story: In the MTC a bunch of missionaries had a stick pull competition and I won!!!  I faced this Elder who had a hundred pounds on me and I still threw him,.( I was just lucky I guess) And I've done the stick pull a couple of more times out here on my mission and still haven't been beaten! I miss the trek a lot though! Tell Big Brother Hinton I say hi!

That's so crazy that Kyle , Justin and Seth are coming home soon...my mission feels like it is flying by..That'll be me and my friends before we know it! .It's crazy.

That's crazy that Alexis Anderson is leaving and Deryck got his call. I'm proud of them!!!

 So I have a request....send an endless supply of oreos!!! and a chocolate cake (that's a luxury that I can't afford) haha!!

 I miss the Arizona heat so much. That sounds weird but I really do. It gets pretty cold here.

 That guy Rodger!!! He came to church for the third week in a row!!! It was awesome! He went to the emergency room on Saturday. He goes a couple times a month when he can't breath and told us he wouldn't be making it to church. But Sunday comes and he shows up! It made my day! He said during the meeting " I really like this. I'm hooked." Dang right you're hooked Rodger! Once he felt the spirit he just can't get enough of it.

What really made my day was after sacrament though. That guy I talked about who thinks we're just saved by grace, his name is Brandon and he came to church yesterday. On one condition though, we had to go to his church. He goes to a Pentecostol church...Oh boy that was quite the experience haha. We went there and the band was playing and after the band stopped the guitarist just started yelling gibberish and raising his arms to the sky. It was something like' Ummmm shababalalababa ummmmmm shababababalalala" it was crazy ahaha. And this old woman "Interpreted"what he said. And what she interpreted just happened to go right along with what the preachers sermon was on. It was different and the spirit was not there at all. You can't feel the spirit when the whole congregation is "speaking tongues' and yelling loudly at the same time haha. But we're gonna meet with the Pastor and baptize him;)!!  Then his whole church;)
 Well that's pretty much all that happened this week. I love you all!!!

Love, Elder Peugnet

3-17-14 Happy St Patrick's Day!!

HEY!

This last week was pretty awesome. That guy Roger, he came to church again this Sunday!!! And this last Monday he said that he wants to be baptized!!! That's pretty awesome!
 We found a couple of new investigators this week. So that has been pretty awesome! Other than that nothing has really happened this week haha. Man! brother!! (referring to his older brother Austin who turns 29 today) You are so old now! You're almost 30!!!! hahaha;) I feel old haha.
 We are teaching lots of people but there are a couple specific ones we focus on. So last Friday was crazy. Everything that could go wrong went wrong....Almost every single appointment we had fell through and we had 2 people drop us....it was pretty ridiculous/sad..
 That's so cool that Alexis's (Anderson) farewell is next Sunday!!!
And Stephanies (Howe) papers are in!? That's sweet!!
Tell dad to wear his boot so his foot will heal right!
Well I love you all and hope to hear from you soon!

WRITE!!!

love,

Elder Peugnet

Blessings!!!!!!

Hey!!!

So I'm not being transferred I found out!!! I'm stayin in montrose!! So my address is the same 1101 S Cascade Ave #5 Montrose, Colorado 81401-4932 (please tell people I love getting mail from Az!)  and I'm going to be here for at least another 6 weeks!

This last sunday was pretty awesome! So we teach  a guy named Rodger. He lives in an apartment by himself and has a dog. He has diabetes and asthma and the missionaries have been teaching him for a lil over a year. And a couple of weeks ago we got him to pray for the first time!!! And he always tells us he can't go to church because of the weather and his health. So on Saturday we gave him a blessing and hoped he would show up.  Sunday morning we called and talked to him. I actually am the one who talked to him. He answered the phone and I asked how he was doing and he said he was actually feeling pretty good. And I was like "good enough to come to church?" He said "Actually, I was gonna drive by and if I feel up to it I'll stop in." So Sacrament came around and HE SHOWED UP!!! It was seriously so awesome!!! And during Sacrament he said that he really enjoyed it and he wants to come every week. It was freakin awesome.

And this other guy came to sacrament, Troy, we made a deal with him- We told him that if he came to our church we would go to his church. So he came to Sacrament and after Sacrament we went to his church. Ahahaha it was quite the experience. They had a band and the band played for about half an hour. It was ridiculous. They use the new king james version of the bible and in the front of the bible there was a prayer printed and if you said the prayer then you are saved....What a joke.

  And that CD I want is a movie. It's the John Tanner story.

And yes,  I get the money you send occasionally and I really, really, really appreciate it:)))) It's a life saver sometimes haha.

My journal writing is almost non existant...,That's something I really struggle with.

 I have a question for Dad or Grandpa! There is this guy we meet with every Saturday and he is quite a handful. We basically just have discussions and He believes that if we believe in Christ we are saved...and that works don't matter...I was wondering if dad or grandpa, if either of you have a good way of explaining Ephesians 2:8-9 That would be awesome!!! We have tried, but maybe you have a different way? 

 I love you all!!! And I wish I could have been there for Kadences birthday!!! I love those girls!!!  Yes,  I know who sister Cope is but I don't know her Alex!

Love,

Elder Peugnet

 

My first ever confirmation.

a ward members "toy"

Yes, it's real:)

Near my house!

Gorgeous

 

Great Week!

Hey!!! 

This last week has been pretty awesome! We had a baptism on Saturday! That was so sweet!!! And guess what!? She asked me to do the confirmation!!!! That was so cool and awesome!!! It was pretty nerve racking at the same time. But once I started the blessing the spirit took over and it was an awesome experience.

 So transfers are next week. It's actually on my 6 month mark, March 11th.

 I had interviews with my mission president and I'm pretty sure I'm being transferred. My companions also had interviews with him and they both said that he told them I'm going to be with an Elder who is metro side. So i guess I'm leaving the mountains haha. I love the weather right now!!! It's pretty awesome!!!

Okay I have a request for a package. I NEED SOME SOCKS!!...lots of them...somehow I've lost like all of my socks and also if you could send me compression shorts that would be awesome too. I bought a pair of compression shorts for P-day but I need another pair.

 And also...if you could find The John Tanner Story A Treasure In Heaven and buy and send that to me that would be sweet. I think it's on the lds bookstore website.

Things are going pretty well. I'm still not fat, but I was putting on weight and I ended that in a hurry!

ha-ha.

 And thank you dad for that email last week. It was an inspired email because I was struggling at that time and you really lifted me up.

 I love you all so much and hope to hear from you soon and thanks Alex for that package!!! I loved it.  (the chocolate sauce is already gone;) haha

 

Love,

Elder Peugnet
