Meet Elder Peterson.

No email from Elder Bellomy this week. So, we'd like to introduce you to his companion...

Introducing Elder Peterson.
We were kind of sad yesterday that we hadn't heard from Eldrew...when we received a sweet email from the the Hulet family in Texas. The mail included a photo of Elder Bellomy and his new companion Elder Peterson. (Click image to enlarge.)

Sister Hulet included this kind message about Elder Peterson and Eldrew:

We have had the lucky opportunity to have your sons at our home. We love the spirit they bring into our home! The last two times they have came, they talked to us about the Holy Ghost and it is so amazing to listen to them. Thank you for sharing them with us. I hope that one day my children can be as awesome of missionaries as they are!

The email was as good as hearing from Eldrew himself. Thanks Hulets!

The email was sent to Elder Peterson's parents as well. So, we got the chance to email them and introduce ourselves and exchange emails with them. Double thanks.

Eldrew?
For newcomers, it might be a good time to explain "Eldrew." It is our nickname for Elder Bellomy:

• Elder Andrew Paul Bellomy...
• Elder Andrew Bellomy...
• Elder Andrew...
• Elder Drew...
• Eldrew...

This week, we'd like to introduce you to Alex Boye. 

He is a professional musician, and member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Interestingly enough, my wife and I had the chance to meet him this week. Susan (Eldrew's mother) directs the marketing and business operations for CenterPoint Legacy Theatre. CenterPoint is a new regional community performing arts center under construction in Centerville, Utah. The theatre is going to be a state-of-the-art performance center with a 540-seat main theatre and a 250-seat black box theatre. You can read about the theatre here: CenterPointTheatre.org. The theatre will be having its grand opening in January, 2011. (Please excuse the shameless plug for the theatre.) Alex was on one of the facility tours last week. That's how we met him.

Pretty cool opportunity. And, he is a very nice guy. Hopefully he will perform at the new theatre.
 
That's all for now. Stay tuned for more Eldrew news if we get a letter this week.
