Hey Everone,
This week was transfer week! Elder Nelson and I are both staying in Plummer for at lease six more weeks. I am happy about that because I am just getting to know everyone one and I'm just starting to fit in.
This week we have three people on date to be baptised!
#1 is Kristine Kennach, she is 8 1/2 months prego! We are hoping she will have her baby early so there will be no problems with the baptisom because it is only one week after her due date. Her husband wants to baptize her but he is having a problem with smoking and drinking. He just got a job where he has to be clean from both so that is very good.
#2 is Isaiah Louie, we have not been able to talk to him because his step mom is mean, and wont let us teach him at his house. So we have to do it at his friends house. It is hard to teach him so he might fall off date.
#3 is Rachel, she is a adopted Chinese girl who dose not speak a lot of English so it's kinda hard to teach her. She is really smart and really funny. We were teaching her the other day and we were showing her pictures and there was one of Chinese people praying and she says "OH Chinese" and she was so happy to see Chinese people haha.
We also had a good lesson at the Maxes this week. They ask a lot of questions and she says she will never convert, but she will she just does not know it yet! She is just barely finding out that the book of mormon is just like the bible and it doesn't help that she reads anti mormon books all the time ether.
We also met a family with six kids who want to come to church and who are looking for the right faith but we just have to get them there. Their names are the Westons.
We also had a scary moment!
This week we got a referral to go see this guy who lives in the middle of nowhere. So we go out to see him, and a member family that goes to our branch said they think they know who they are. She works for the ambulance and she told us to be very carefully because she goes out to this house all the time and they are scary people! They were not sure if this was the house that we were going to or not but they said they have two really big white dogs. And if we saw those dogs then it was that house. As we are driving there they called us again and said "do not go in that house whatever you do, do not go in there because you will be in a situation that you don't want to be in and if we don't here from you in 3 hour we will call the cops"! So we get to the house and there are no dogs, but its a really old gross house with like 6 broke down cars. We go and knock on the door and here comes out 2 huge white dogs! We both looked at each other and we both said "ohhh no" at the same time haha. So this guy comes to the door, and he had on a tie dye shirt on with tight jeans and no front teeth. We are talking to him and he invites us inside! He said "you two wait right here and let me hold the dogs down then you can come in". Then I said "no we cant come in we have a aaaa an appointment to get to, we just wanted to stop by to see how you are doing". He said that we could call him Brother Brown and that he is a member of the LDS Mormon church. Then he said that his wife was not a member and he was telling her that Mormons help out other Mormons. Then he said "so I need some gas for my truck so I can get to church on Sunday or a new car or something" and we both just said "oh cool cool". I think he wanted us to pull out our wallets and give him money right there. Then he asked if he could have one of those book things that are blue. I said a book of Mormon? He said "ya that's it i need two of those" so I said "ok we have some in our car we will go get some hang on". He said "OK I will come with you". Then as we are walking out there he asked us if we could ride bikes the next time we came out and its like 50 mile away, so we said no. Then he said "ok well then next time you come you can just park right here" and he pointed to like the back of his house where its all muddy and like hidden. That was weird, and when we got to our car we open the trunk and he starts asking if he can have our DVDs that we show people, and stuff he didn't even need. He said that he used to have this one dvd that is only available to missionaries and there use only, but he lost it so he wanted ours. It was just really weird and sketchy so I don't think we will go out there again, but if we do we will take an Indian member who everyone calls "Papa". He is always packing heat so that will be good!
Then two days after that we are driving back from an appointment and this one kid starts waving at us. As we drive past, his friend is walking around with his pants down so we got mooned. I never though i would see that much skin on my mission but whatever.
I love you all!
Love Elder Peterson.
