Robert got Baptized!!!!!!!!!!

Hey!

My Easter was pretty awesome!
Yes, we only cover one ward.  After church this lady in our ward invited us over for dinner and it was awesome! It was an awesome Easter dinner!
That's so crazy that Kyle is home!!!
 I'll let you know when get to call for Mother's day. I'm not sure  when because  I am being transferred! I think I'm going back to Highlands Ranch. We got some inside people in the mission;) .  It's not for 100%  but I would love to go back to Highlands Ranch though.
Yes, I do enjoy being in a threesome. Time seems to fly when you're in a threesome.
By the way, I'm still working on the letter thing, ....we're pretty busy as missionaries ya know:) I"ll try to get that written this week.
 I loved my Easter package!!! Except it was way too much junk and candy haha. I mean you do want me to find a wife when I get home right?  I can't work off all the candy and junk like I used to back home cause we only get like half an hour to workout in the morning. And I'm trying to stay in shape.

  Robert got baptized on Saturday!!! It was pretty cool! He got baptized exactly 3 weeks after we starting teaching him. That's pretty fast for a baptism. He was just prepared to hear the gospel. It was awesome!!!!!!!!
 Nothing else really happened though. I love you all so much and hope to hear from you soon!

Love,

Never Assume............Lesson Learned

Hey!

This last week was pretty slow again...
 
But we do have a baptism this Saturday!
 
 So there is this Serenity home that we always go to and teach people there. It's full of veterans and recovering addicts and former homeless people.We have been going there for the past 2 months and teaching this guy named Troy. And Troy doesn't really progress. But everytime we would go there this guy named Robert would always answer the door but we never taught him. Honestly he is really quiet and we always thought he wasn't all there and there was no point in teaching him. But 2 weeks ago on Saturday we went to the house and Troy wasn't there and Robert answered the door so we asked him if we could teach him. And he is so solid!!! He knows everything we teach him and absorbs it in like a sponge! It's pretty awesome! We gave him a church tour and the last thing we did was go to the chapel and had him pray to know if these things were true and after we asked him how he felt and he said "It feels like God is here." He is so awesome! And he is being baptized on Saurday. Bishop Maxwell is baptizing him and I think confirming him.
 
 That's pretty much all that has happened this week. We have been focusing on Robert a lot lately. Well I hope to hear from you all soon and love you very very muchly!

General Conference 4-7-14

I had a an awesome birthday!!!! Conference was soooo awesome! There were so many good talks. Conference got off to an awesome start on Saturday morning with Elder Hollands talk. The Cost—and Blessings—of Discipleship   I love Elder Holland! He is such an awesome speaker and I feel the spirit so strongly whenever he speaks.'
 I like Elder Bednar's talk too.Bear Up Their Burdens with Ease   I just liked all of them!!! This was an awesome conference!
 I got my birthday package. (*to answer your question mom about where the packages are put if we are not home.) We have a mail thingy just like we have at home- but if the package is too big to  fit in the thing they just put it in front of the door. I got the package from Alan and Debbie too! I loved that one!;) It was just full of chocolate! My favorite! Thanks!
 Transfers is April 22nd.  We find out April 19th if one of us will be leaving or staying.
Bad news....my camera kinda of broke again.....I've spent too much money on camera's...I think i'm cursed to just break all of my camera's....So I don't really have any pictures to send today. My camera still works but the lens got messed up somehow...I need a tough camera or something. Any suggestions?  I'm gonna try to get this camera fixed before I even think about a new camera.
 That's so crazy that Kyle is coming home the 15th!!! Time has flown by!!!
 I know how fast time is going for me.... I've been out 7 months on friday...It's crazy to think,  I only have 2 more GeneralConferences left and one birthday ! It's crazy! My mission is flying by!
 We had Zone conference wednesday and conference this weekend so nothing really happened. It was a pretty quiet week.
 I love you all so much and hope to hear from you soon and thanks for all the birthday wishes!

Talented Cat!! 3-31-14

Hey!!!

My week was pretty slow....not that much happened at the beginning of the week but towards the end things started to pick up a lil bit:)
 
 And that was Jeff Rocket I sent a picture of last week. Not Roger.
 
 Roger is they guy I told you about that is  on oxygen and has asthma and diabetes...
 
But we had a really cool experience this week. On Thursday we had exchanges and so an Elder came with me and Elder Jacobson and Elder Hawkes went with that Elders companion. There are these less actives who never come to church and they honestly just really frustrate me....They always lie and make up the dumbest excuses why they missed church...One day we went and visited them and their blinds were open and the radio was blaring. So we knocked on the door and no one answered....And when we left the blinds were closed....So we visited them later that day and they answered...And I was like "We stopped by earlier and someone was here but no one answered and the radio was blaring." They told us they leave the radio on for their cat....So I said (and yes, I was a lil frustrated)..." Oh really? Does the cat also shut the blinds when we knock on the door?" AND THEY SAID YESSS!!!! ha-ha.. Anyways back to what I was saying...we went to see them Thursday and the blinds were open so we knocked and no one answered and when we left the blinds were closed..
....so we went to go try  to see another guy named Kim. Everytime we try him he always says "come back later." We knocked on his door and he was like "Who is it!?" I yelled "It's the missionaries!!!" He yelled back"Perfect timing!!!!" Me and Elder Jacobson just gave each other a look like what the heck... haha. He opened the door and was like"Let's go to the park!" So we went and we had an awesome lesson!!! The spirit was so strong. Kim told us that he had been praying all day that we would stop by and he was going through some hard times and wanted to talk to us. We talked about the Plan of Salvation and the Book of Mormon and we asked him pray at the end...That was awesome...He prayed and asked if the Book of Mormon was true and if the things we were teaching were true and then just stopped and said" This just doesn't feel right." And we told him that he needed to finish the prayer in the name of Jesus Christ... And he did,  and as soon as he ended his prayer, literally the sun came out and warmth just covered us all. It was an awesome experience...That was the highlight of this week pretty much.
 
And that's all that really happened this week.
 
I don't really have any last minute request for my birthday,  except maybe candy!!! Lot's of candy!!!
 
Well I hope to hear from you soon and tell Joey to email me!!! I love you all!!!

Love,
Elder Peugnet
