Dear Family,

| Do you like it?? - Mom says, "Gross!" |
This week has been great!!! I love my new companion. He is Elder Carpenter. We have had an interesting week. We both got sick; I saw a child prodigy play the violin, and I electrocuted myself with 220 watt oven wires ... I helped eat cherries as a investigator butchered a cow. I met a member of the Seventy, Elder Pieper. He has the constant "I love you" because he is missing his middle and fourth fingers. All in all, it was a good week.

So this is my last P-day here in the Spokane mission. Now I am official. I'm in the Washington Kennewick Mission*. I love being with my new companion. He is great. Sorry the letter is a bit short.
The ward here is great. They really love me and my companion. We have a few people who will be baptized in the next month or so. They are moving along quite nicely... so last weekend I was a solo with the priests in the ward. It was good. So much happened, but the numbers where blah. A lot happened but the important stuff is I became more like Christ and showed that I love him and my fellowman. That's what I did this week I hope next week is the same.

Well I know that the church is true. and I know that God blesses and guides our lives. When we have a challenge that we don't think we can beat or keeps beating us, we just need to ask ourselves what part of the doctrine do I not understand and study it. The study of doctrine will change behavior faster than the study of behavior will change behavior. I know that the Savior lives. The study of the plan of salvation will and can make you happier than the study of happiness. I have done both. I love God, and I love you. I hope that you can feel the love I have for you and know that there is nothing better than being a representative of Christ.
Love, Elder Pinegar
P.S. Shout out to Igleski** on getting engaged. That is how we do it, and I now have a 6 pack.

** Elder Igleski was Nick's trainer and first companion in the mission field.
