First e-mail from New York

to Dad:

My comp is elder king, he's from arizona. Right now I'm on splits with another. In our pad there's 6 total, meza and black (he's not black) johnson and monestine (he's black) then king and peck.

I just moved from a church computer to the library and the backspace key is tiny! ok, so... ya it's pday and so far it's been good. we did laundry and now we're doing more email, and later is a zone activity where we're gonna play volley ball or dodge ball. ok so something i was hoping for here was to see nice cars, and lemme tell ya.. holy crap! i saw 4 maseratis today, besides the ferrari maserati store down the road.. and i see camaros and corvettes everywhere i'm bored of them now... really nice mercedes and bmws in the city. a few nice rolls royces. like the old old ones. it's pretty cool here.

Oh a few days ago we got two new investigators! we were tracting a street and we weren't having good luck, then King was like, ok last house. I go up and say my stuff, the lady was nice and let us in! and her husband woke up a while later, (we were there almost an hour) he's cool, he's got lung cancer, and i guess they both smoke, but the house didn't stink, which was good.

I'll talk to you later, i gotta see my other emails, oh and i'm emailing brian but it's been more than a month since he responded. -elder peck

to Mom:

Oh yeah the plane ride was cool, i got sick though, landing was not fun... we flew over Manhattan and i saw freedom tower and the empire state bld.. i told you some in the letter from the mission home. wow these keyboards are horrible. small keys and the p doesn't work too well.

I got a cold for the first week making it hard . but i'm a bit better now, i got a cough left, i gave the sickness to monestine haha.

I'm hanging out with black, mesa, and monestine. and sometimes we run into the spanish sisters pagan and reid. they're cool too. the sisters in my district are smedley and spalvena < she's from latvia. they're both cool too. so far i've eaten at taco bell once. and at a ward family twice, and another once, the first is the Danners, and the other was the Urbans. the urbans take care of the missionary DAs. so they make sure we get something to eat. brother Danner was a chef at a resturant so he's really good. we had shrimp stuff the first night, and last night we had fish stuff.

Anyway, i gotta go. love ya - elder peck
