Grandma Eccols

ok just so everyone knows... it is HOT! we hit 109 on sunday (lucky we were in church HA!) so after 15 months i had to get a new tube for my bike ;( and when it blew (and it BLEW) it also bent the rim but don't worry because of a handy tool kit that i was given back in the land of eternal p-days that i carry on my bike i was able to true the wheel back to ship-shape and i put my new tube on and i filled it with good ol' snot so lets pray that this one will last as long as the last one. 

The other side of the story of course is that it happened on exchanges so i get a call from Elder Moore telling me that my bike blew up... yeah well thats how it goes right, it was interesting because his bike is what we would call the class A piece of junk so i was very tempted to see what would happen to the terror if it were to be dropped off the overpass into oncoming traffic... hmmm it might just have done the world a favor.

 other then that this week has gone by in a blur not much is going on here and we are going to have to work a lot on building ward member/missionary relationships which i have found it is sure a lot harder to REbuild trust then it is to gain it in the first place and with the members being here the way they are most of the work i'll be doing is going to be more on the REbuilding that trust, its been quite the experiance to piece together the story and the history of missionaries here. 

so this coming week i know will get better then this week however it will be hotter sadly but we carry on carry on carry on! i am coming to love the term "come what may and love it" and its so true! things may be hard and it might be bleak but i am serving my God! and what Joy that brings to me the peace and happiness that i have for serving those arround me even if they don't want to be helped thats ok i love what i'm doing and i look forward to see what changes God will make and how he will further his work here in Arrowhead ranch. 

so i gave my first blessing at a hospital which was cool the arrowhead hospital is in our area and they have our number for LDS ecclesiastic clergymen or however all we know is that if LDS people are there and they want a blessing they call us which i love and find such a neat experiance.

ok so this is Elder Longhurst and Sister Eccols (who punches us in the gut if we call her that and not Grandma haha) and myself and elder longhurst is yet again leaning on me. oh and these are right before our hairs getting cut so i got another nice beautiful buzz which i love so much any whom i love you all so much keep up the fight!

with love Elder Pehrson
