So I just remembered that I forgot to write this blog email haha. I only have about ten minutes so hopefully I can get everything.
This last week was very very hard for us. A lot of walking and not a lot of lessons. Nobody went to church again so we dropped all our investigators and we are starting from scratch. We have a few promising investigators already but we will see if they go to church. We had a conference with Pres. May because he leaves tomorrow. We get our new president tomorrow also and we meet him saturday. Pres May talking a lot about his personal life and how growing up he had a terrible family situatin. He used basketball as his escape and ended up going to BYU where he met his wife. He then servd his mission because she told him that she wouldnt marry anybody unless they are an RM. He then served the mission but for the wrong reasonsut he learned quickly in the field why he was a missionary and why he was there. Ive seen that in my mission also. To be honest, up until the day before I entered the MTC I had no idea how I was going to survive this. But as soon as I entered the MTC I had Clark and Larsen as my comps and they really helped me out. I realized quickly here in the field that I am here for a reason and I need to stop thinking about myself and how much I miss home and just get to work. I love the work and time is flying. Have a great week evreybody!
Love Elder peck
