Elder Peterson's Transfer

Elder Peterson is from St. George, Utah, but left on his mission from Florida where he spent most of his growing up years. His parents have three Thai restaurants in the St. George area. His Mom is from Thailand and his Dad is Causasian. He has helped in the restauants they own and loves to concoct his own soups with lots of different ingredients. His parents are pretty well off and will send him to Thailand when he gets home. He wants to live like a poor person to see what it would be like.
Elder Peterson and Elder Wright were present the night the piglets were born. Peterson actually delivered one of them. He said, "it was the highlight of my mission!" He and another companion whacked away at the weeds in my back yard. Wright and Peterson helped steady my water barrels by inching wood underneath so they would be level. My metal pole for raspberries was knocked down by the fence in a wind storm. I mentioned that I needed a post hole digger; they found one and had the pole securely put back in the ground!
Elder Wright is staying another transfer. Elder Wright is a vegetarian. He is not vegan. He just doesn't eat meat.
Frank asked Elder Peterson to make a dragon for Niguel, Ethan and Terrin. They loved them and still have them.
This is the big dragon Elder Peterson promised Frank when he left. It was the biggest and brightly painted one that he had ever done. This is a close up of the guitar he is playing.
Lately Elder Peterson had started creating flowers with oragami because not everybody likes dragons.
He fashioned a beautiful oragami flower bouquet for me as a good bye gift. I was impressed.
