Posting peter's letter while I'm in Alaska...

Hey Mom, 6-20-12 Thanks for the email!  I hope you guys are having fun in Alaska.  It's pretty cool to think that you guys are out in the cold, especially you mom!!!   Well this week was great.  We found a guy that's just the most humble guy I have ever seen.  ANYthing we say he'll believe.  He'd get baptised tonight if we asked him to, but we marked for this sunday.  Anyways, yesterday we were at his shop talking with him.  He works as a guy that fixes tvs, radios, and whatnot.  Anyways, some guy came by and tryed selling him a tv.  Our investigator, Marcos, didn't want to buy it and the guy started to get a little bit more violent.  So he gave in and bought it out of fear.  While he was looking for the 70 bucks, we decided that it was a good time to start talking with mister crazy yelling guy, to try and calm him down.  We seemed to have won his trust quickly, cuz 2 minutes later he was telling us about his whole life.  He was telling us about his life "in da hood" as a druggie, but that he's wanting to move his life around.  He said that like 3 months ago he stopped using crack, but does a lot of other stuff as well.  I told him that he needs to stop and that we were there to help him.  Then I asked him if he's got any other problems, and he kind of walked closer to me and whispered that he was armed with a revolver just as a "protection".  Im pretty sure that if Marcos denied him, this crazy guy would have killed him, and we would've had to of remarked his baptism... Anyways, we convinced crazy guy to stop using drugs and to stop hangin out with his bad influence friends.  So we'll see if he really changed or not.  The area's great really.  Anyways after that Marcos' old pastor came into the shop and tried to brainwash him again.  However, luckily we were there to get in the way a little bit.  He admitted to us later that he thinks his old pastor is fake.  But I was thinking, about how God uses us to protect others from bad influences or even dangerous moments as well.  It's a cool thought.   Anyways, this 30th we're gonna get a new president.  President Perrotti.  I hear he's cool.   Well I feel bad for Mal and Rhys getting stung by a jelly fish.  I recommend peeing on the stings.  (Maybe Chris could help!) Yeah well, I love you guys and I hope you had a good trip in Alaska!
