"Hey Dad!"

DAD!

I sure miss you too dad!  I just got your dear elder yesterday so luckily I get to e-mail you back! Tell mom I already wrote a letter and will send it today to her.  I'm going to try and write lacy one too.  That sounds like you had a pretty awesome Halloween! I was thinking about you guys all night! I went to bed at 10:30 on halloween. haha Its all good though I had some candy so it was kind of like halloween.  I can't wait to see all the pictures!  Thats way cool you are going to the FBI NAA conference! I bet everyone is going to be way excited to see you! And thats cool you are going to be teaching again! The one guy we ran into walmart seemed pretty excited to take your class. I'm glad they had you make some more of those Park Reservation signs. You must have made some good ones before to want to order some more.  I so wish I could spend the holidays with you guys! It will be alright though. I will miss the swedish traditions but maybe i can bring those traditions to Argentina! I will miss your guitar solo as well! For real! Send me some pics if you can while you are in new york! No worries if you can't. 

Thats to bad you are done home teaching with President Hinton. He is such a neat guy.  He really changed my oppinion about home teaching as well. Its cool how close you get to the people you teach.  Thats what they talk about here a lot.  Before you can do anything for someone you have to care for them. Treat them as people not just some baptismal statistic.  You really have to care for them to make any difference.  Its really so neat in here.  You feel the spirit here 24/7 and just want to do good.  Sometimes it gets pretty tough and frusrating but its all part of the experience.  I'm super busy all the time but i'm pretty much used to it.  I'm just kind of in the swing of things now i think.  Time is so weird here though I feel like i've been here forever and at the same time not really.  you kind of forget what day it is and stuff because everyday is basically the same.  Even Sundays kind of seem normal in a way. Anyways have you gone to the other ward yet? If so how has it been? 

Anyways this week I've made a list of stuff I wanted to tell you this week so share this with mom. And the rest of the family if you want.  First of all I don't know if i told you or not but Scott Carlson (Ken Carlson's son) is in my district so thats cool.  He leaves next week to the Dominican Republic to finish up the MTC there.  I've seen Dallin, lars, and Tason here.  Dallin's class is right by mine so i see him all the time.  I see Tason and Lars every once in awhile but I don't really get to much time to talk to them.  Alsoon tuesday we have a fireside like usual and i got to be an usher so i got to find seats for people but the best part is i got really good seats for myself.  i was right by the speaker.  Elder W. Craig Zwick of the seventy spoke.  I even got to shake his hand after! it was awesome.  The talks they give here are undescribably good.  i'm so pumped after them.  It makes me want to be the best missionary I can be. And after the tuesday firesides we have a district devotional which is always pretty cool.  We had one of our branch presidents talk to us about how all of our attributes are enhanced as a missionary especially to learn a language. Its really cool to think about. i can't wait until I can speak spanish.  I get so frustrated sometimes.  mostly with my companion.  He goofs around so much and still understands the language really good.  he's really been getting on my nerves lately.  I want to alpha roll him so hard you don't even know but the missionary part of me says otherwise.  I can't even study sometimes because hes talking with the rest of my class. I need to have a talk with him.  I just want to be the best missionary I can be.  I know there is a reason why he's my companion probably to push me and its working. haha It will all work out though. Also I'm the senior companion for the first half of our stay here!  It doesn't really mean much because then we switch but it is still kind of cool.  Well I love you so much dad! Tell everyone hi for me!  Thanks so much for all of the love and support.  Really it means so much i can really feel the support even here.  i miss you guys like crazy.  Well be safe on your motorcycle ride!  Love you!

Love Elder Peck
