Welcome dear family and friends!

This is our way of sharing Max's mission.  We will post his letters and some of the photos, he sends home to us.  We hope you enjoy witnessing the blessings that come to him during these wonderful two years!

--Ken and Jen Perkes [Max's parents]

Max was asked to chose a scripture for the plaque that hangs in our church during his full time service.  This is the scripture he chose:

Doctrine and Covenants 35:13-14

"Wherefore, I call upon the weak things of the world, those who are unlearned and despised, to thrash the nations by the power of my Spirit;

And their arm shall be my arm, and I will be their shield and their buckler; and I will gird up their loins, and they shall fight manfully for me; and their enemies shall be under their feet; and I will let fall the sword in their behalf, and by the fire of mine own indignation will I preserve them."

The Library is laughing at me . . . [Letter written 8-12-09]

So the library is closed today haha. It got the better laugh out of me. So unfortunatly i will be a bit on the short side today because this is very pricy ouch! So i loved all the emails i got thanks so much. It sounds like you guys are all doing great. So this week was way fun. To start off i got bit by a dog!!!!!! I think i have some curse or something i keep getting attacked, first by hail and now adog. So lemme tell the story. We were at this members house doing an fhe, and there dog was outside and i was playing with the dog i thought, i guess he thought i was teasing him. When all of a sudden this little golden retriever ugly thing leaped in the air with teeth shining in the light. He latched on to my lower calf, ouchhhhh. Then i have no clue how he did it but he used his hold to make another flying leap up my leg! This time latching on to my thigh a little too high for my comfort. So this is when i assessed the situation, thought for about .1 second looking at all my options, and kicked him off of me. He came back even more angrily, but luckily this time i was well prepared with a rubber sole of my shoe, fending him off. Back BACK!! Finally he surrendered but the little jerk took a piece of my suitpants with him. So unfortunatly i have a big hole in my suit pants on my inner thigh area. Luckily you cant really tell unless i was doing yoga or something but it is still a bit of a problem here in the pants department. Luckily i didn't get hurt too much, not too much blood or flesh removed. Just a little nibble. I hope he doesn't have rabies. No just kidding. Mom please don't call president haha. Okay so later this week our ward had a talent show that was really quite fun. We had a lass active come and also an investigator. Some people sang, played instruments, and did skits. It was an amazing night just to be able to get to know the ward members better. There so sweet and nice. Okay so Josh and Brooke i recieved your letter in the mail today! Claire is sooooo cute. I loved it thank you so much. Mom i'm glad you went to Jordans without me haha. I always loved walking around looking at couches for hours haha. Mom you said i have a birthday coming up. Really?? I guess i do no way haha. okay so you said i could hint at somethings. The only thing that i can really think of is sour patch kids watermelons. Those are delicious and no one has them here! Umm besides that i really can't think of anything. You asked if money would be nice. I am happy either way. Package no money, no package no money. Just promise me that you wont spend an arm and a leg sending the package. Oh yeah... if you could send a missinoary photos of the siblings i would love that.
