YOU CAN BE ANYTHING YOU WANT.. (: MAY 27,2013

Let it Rain(:

 

 

 

Well hello there My Loving Family and Friends(: Another quick week has passed.. Pretty crazy how fast the time passes us by. I hope this letter finds you all well and livin the life the way it should be lived(: I can't wait to be with you again, it will be soon! This week here in Tonalà has been a cloudy humid rainy deal.  I straight up poured yesterday and it's been on and off rainin today. I jsut makes everything way humid but hey just gotta smile and enjoy it while I have it haaha.. I dont know if I have respect or what for the people that call this place home, pretty different the weather that's for sure.. But it's been nice to not have the beamin sun for a change.. This week to I got my package mom! Thanks so very much for all that you do for me.. It sure made my week everything is awesome!! I about cried when I saw the fruit by the foot.. There gone. Thanks to everyone that helped put that together and get it shipped to ol Chiapas.. (:

 

Well this week was a good one! I think this week I have been the most tired I have ever been on my mish.. We've been workin so hard to find the people that are ready to receive this message. I need my ZZZZZ's right now.. But I know that I will be alright(: I am so grateful for this mission and this time in my life I have to learn and grow the the gospel, I have learned so much about myself and I know that no matter what we do, we need to always go through the lord first. Prayer has always been a huge part of my life.. I know that if we always Trust in the lord he will help us climb the mountains or do the little things.. I am so grateful to be able to feel of his love and his guiadance at this point in my life.. I know I still have one year left but I feel I have changed and have been very humbled. In whatever it is we do we needa trust in the lord.. I have so much trust in him and I know that he has that same trust in me, I will continue to do this work until my legs go out, and after that happens I will crawl haha.. I am so grateful for this privilege to be here.. I have been reading in Mormon and Moroni the last chapters in The Book Of Mormon. It talks about how much of studs the were.. Honestly if you get time you should read Mormon. Moroni is one of my hero's. It talks about when he witnessed his people become extinct and destroyed along with his father Mormon. But he kept writing and he knew the Lord entrusted in him this work.. His words are full of emotion.. I know that there aren't to many Moroni's but his example is something that we can all follow.. He always prayed to the lord and always put his turst in the lord. I am so grateful for all of you and for all that you do for me.. I know I can count on all of you(: Well there is my spiritual ramble for you all..(:

 

Well looks like we sure do have a new addition to the Petersen Family.. That's a sharp lookin truck, I dig it to be honest.. Looks perfect, has room and everything.. I sure miss drivin haha.. I wanna look for somethin like that, when my time comes to get on back. Ridge keep peelin out in the freakin Laser.. And watch out for the seat belts (: Well I can't wait to hear from you I hope you all have an excellent week.. The next time we talk we gonna be in JUNE!! Halfaway through 2013(: Well.. I love you, and I am prayin for you daily.. KNow that I am with you in all that you do. Be safe and Be Happy.. YOU CAN BE ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT.

CON MUCHO AMOR

Well how the puffed pretzels is everyone doin.. (: Another week flew by.. I just wanna tell you thank you for your emails and your words. I bout tear up everytime I read em. It sure will be a beautiful day when I am able to return to all of you.. (: I can't believe in bout 2 months I will have 1 year here.. The last year will feel so quick for all of us. It will be sweeter than a piña colada in a hammock on a saturday night in the mexican moonshine.. Well we have transfers today cause we finished the 6 weeks. They called this morning and my companion is headin to Tuxtla, I am headin there too but just to pick up a newbie that is flyin in today.. We will leave tomorrow for Tuxtla and I will return to. With a new comp. But yup I'm gonna be a trainer.. (: It'll be sweeter than eatin grass at the chocolate factory of Willy Wonkas.. It has also started to rain here, it's still just way humid but wow.. It makes a big difference especially in the night time when there is just a little breeze.. But yeah.. I'm bout to go hit up the beach and preach there too.. It'll be another fast and furious transfer.. But yup.. nothin new in the life of Elder Pete haha(: Just that time keeps goin faster and faster.. "It might be a long hard ride.. but I'm gonna take it." - George Strait.

 

Well I'm straight up proud of all of you, You have no idea how much you all mean to me and how much your letters and words mean to me also. I am so very blessed, to have a family like I do. I thank our heavenly father for you all everyday and with every hour.. I can't believe how much closer I have grown to him and I feel like we have grown closer.. Even though I'm down here in Chiapas(: I am so grateful for your thoughts and prayers and I sure am proud of all of you. Kort and Ridge, you two I know are the two biggest studs and examples in Delta just because your so dang humble and can smile but be serious, and stand up for what you know is right everywhere you go. It ain't easy but just keep being yourselves, I am so daggum proud of you two.. I miss you more than I explain but just keep happy and work hard! I'm praying for you and I love you.. Congrats in all you do I'll be back soon to watch you do work and work it out soon.. (:  I sure am one lucky duck to have my Mom and Dad too.. I shared my testimony about family this past week and after I was thinkin about what my life would be like if I didn't have you two in my life.. I know it would be different and I don't wanna ever think about life without you two. I hope you both know how much your examples mean to me, you have taught me so much and I know that I still have so much to learn, I can't wait to see you again.. (: And yup we all getta skype soon(: I can't wait(: I still needa talk to the member to see when we can talk but I will find out! And let you know..

 

 I am so grateful to be here, I read Matthew 16:21–28 and it hit me really hard.. The part that says "Whosoever Will Lose His Life For My Sake Shall Find It." really left an impression on me. I am glad I can be here at this point in my life and help others... I am grateful that I can learn and grow with them.. The mission is an amazing experience. I couldn't do it without your love and support, so I wanna thank you guys so much.. It will be awesome to be reunited(: Well be happy and "Work Hard, Play Hard" I love you guys all so very much and I am so very grateful for you all.. (: You all give me the strenght to keep truckin forward and put a smile on. We are about to make a lot more of beautiful memories when I get back.. It'll be sooner than we know it! It's gonna absolutely fly this next year.. (: Be happy My Petersen Family..

Les Amo (:
