Aloha everyone. The past two weeks have been pretty great. Last was a somewhat normal week. We had our usual service projects Friday was pretty crazy. Me and a bunch of missionaries were helping our member with her garden. I was minding my own business pulling weeds then out of nowhere a machete hits my hand! I freaked out at first looked and at my hand and it was super swollen. I was lucky the flat edge of the blade hit my hand. Get up to grab some water then out of nowhere I passed out. Once I woke up they rushed me to the hospital. Doctor told me everything was fine I just went into shock and my hand is just bruised. The best part was seeing the zone get together its probably been the most united the zones been.
This week we had a mini transfer for all the missionaries getting out of quarantine. Elder Teerlink got transferred. He is now an office Elder in Honolulu. My new companion is Elder Reed. He's from Clearfield, UT awesome guy. This Sunday was awesome, we had sacrament here in Kaneohe! It was awesome going back and getting to meet the ward members. It's funny how I've been here for 3 months and now I'm getting to know somewhat most of the members. What made Sunday really special is we went with our ward mission leaders family and fed the homeless! It was super cool, we went around town and found some people. Most of them were super stand-offish at first. I felt super sympathetic for them once I got to know them and hear there story. Almost every single homeless person we talked to was a parent and there kids live somewhere on Island. It really was a humbling experience for me to hear them and the trials they go through. That's been my week. I love and miss you all. Aloha
Elder Peterson
