week 3 email from Oregon

Hello everyone! Portland is great! It has been very very hot here and surprisingly it hasn't rained yet! Our apartment is always roasting so we always have the box fans on! I have never eaten so many vegetables in my life! Everyone has their own little garden! Just the other day we had cabbage soup which was pretty good! Lots of people have dogs here and they are all inside dogs! A lady in our ward has 9 shitzus! It is ridiculous! Most of the people we teach are elderly. All of the young people are too busy partying! Last week we tracted into a women named L she is in her 40's, is married, and has two daughters! We had our second lesson on Friday and I committed her to be baptized!!!! It was amazing! We still have to teach her the rest of the lessons but she already has a powerful testimony! We have an amazing zone and we all get along very well! We play zone sports in the morning at 5:30 and it is so fun! 
Love, Elder Peterson
