So
I've been dropping cliffhangers to a lot of people I've emailed already
and they could probably guess what happened but I'll tell you I
could've never guessed this would happen. So to provide a setting of how
this happened Elder Bassett in my district was told he was going to
train but somehow his trainee isn't showing up for 2 weeks. We're not
sure why (maybe the MTC thought it was getting bombed with all the
fireworks going off) but it happened. So Elder Peterson persistent to
the end saw his opportunity. He requested to President one last time to
at least have a 2 week extension. When he called him President was like
"Wait Elder Peterson are you being serious about this?" When he affirmed
he was indeed being serious President Craig took a step back and
thought about it and said "I hadn't thought about that" So he made some
calls to headquarters and came back with a negative and that it couldn't
happen. Not two hours later
he calls back and informed us that he had called back and was a little
bit more persistent and reported that it could indeed happen :) So Elder
Peterson made some calls home and asked his parents if he could and got
an all systems go from them. So now he's kicking around up in Ghetto
Lake with Elder Bassett who happens to be from his hometown just having a
jolly good time :) It was quite an eventful day to say the least :)
That's the big news for the week and I don't think I'll ever see that
again in my time as a missionary.
As for Elder
Wilson he's a pretty great missionary. He's been out on the rez for his
last 6 months so he's got plenty of stories about the rez. One of them
being having to carry around spikes to ward off rez dogs :) He's from
Salt Lake the city itself and is probably going to die in the
Battlefords as well. I'm excited to see where this goes.
That's
all I got time for but I hope y'all have a very patriotic 4th of July
and throw some fireworks for me :) Love y'all and till next time
Potatoes gonna potate
