Wisdom Teeth!!

Hello Family and Friends,

First of all, I will have to recommend not getting your wisdom teeth out in a third world country!! haha I don't think your supposed to feel it that much!! luckily it is over now and i never have to do it again! So having said that, I'm out for a day or two until i can talk normally again. And for my new assignment I'll be doing a lot of talking!

Wisdom teeth removed today!

Picking up Bro Fardos at the airport

This week i was pulled into Presidents office when he told me that i should make sure my trainee is ready to go by the end of this week!! That automatically means that he has plans for me somewhere else. A couple days later we found him and the Hermana McMulllin at the airport while taking a missionary there to be sent home early! He pulled me off to the side and told me of my new assignment. 

I will be the new Elder Viajante (Traveling Elder). This entails that my companion (Elder Pech) and I will not have an area nor the same schedule. My area is all of the mission! And my schedule will be Wake up at 4:30 and go out and contact those who generally will never see or talk to missionaries because they are also working. We will very rarely ever have lessons but we will have about 400 to 500 contacts in a week! Im so excited for this new opportunity that the Lord has entrusted me with. I'm ready to work my hardest these last four months of my mission.

Thank you for all of your support. It means a lot! Have a great week.

I love you.

Elder Petersen

Are you okay?
yeah I'm fine no need to worry!!!! but I did get my wisdom teeth out like an hour ago!!! wooooo hooooo
I have to say, it makes me a little nervous that you had it done in Paraguay!  Did they knock you out first?  How are you doing?  I’m not sure why I was surprised…after the Patriarchal Blessing experience.  lol  You definitely don’t do things the conventional way do you?
hahaha no they didn't knock me out but it hurt like crazy!!! hahaha now im sitting here with a bag of ice on my face!!!
OH MY GOSH!!!!!  Are you kidding me?  Dude, what am I gonna do with you?  It couldn’t wait 4 months?  Did they numb you at all?  Are you taking anything for pain?

yeah they numbed me like freaking crazy!!!! haha but it felt like they took a jackhammer to my beautiful face!!!

Well at least you still have that beautiful face that I created!  : )  How is the pain now?

yeah I have some pain medication that will help a lot!! i also have brother fardos helping me out if i need anything!! he is down here picking up his daughter!!

I know he’s there, but is he a dentist?

haha no!! he offered to buy me a milkshake though!! i think that deserves credentials!! haha i also received a new assignment!
