And ye shall go forth in the power of my spirit, preaching my gospel, two by two, in my name, lifting up your voices as with the sound of a trump, declaring my word like unto angels of God.

1st Baptism!

Hello Everyone,
This week ended with a baptism. Her name is Sammie and she is awesome,
but it didnt go as smooth as I had hoped.  The day started out like
this...we drive to the St. Mary's church because our church dosent have
a font.   The Elders there forgot to turn off the water and over
flowed the baptism font,  that made them run out of hot water so the
water was freezing cold.  We didnt tell Sammie that the water she
was about to get dunked in was colder then the artic so when she got
in she was just saying cold cold cold water. So I hurry and grabbed
her and said we will go fast and hurried and did it. When she came up
out of the water she had the meanest look on her face and I dont think
thats what you want when your baptised so I said "want to go under
again" just to make it worrse and I though she was going to drown me
haha!!!   But I think I could have taken her.....I have been working out so
yeah! Anyways, after it was over she told her mom that I tried to
drown her in an ice bath and that made me feel bad but I dont think I
will ever forget this baptism. 
We met this 17 year old kid named
Isaiah and he is so cool. He wants to know everything there is to know
about religion but he beleives everything so he has some really off
the wall questions, but we have had two lessons with him and he is on
date to be baptized on April 7th. We have another investigator on date
for march 24th and he has a smoking problem and he has to be clean
from here on out of we have to move the date. But he has been smoke
free for 4 days now but he lies to us all the time so we have to ask
his wife if he really is and she said he is. So I really hope they are
telling the truth. 
We had a training in Spokane this week, so we drove
up there and I got to see all my friends from the MTC which was pretty
cool. We learned a lot about loving your comp. and everything so its
a good thing I have a great compainion! 


Well I think thats all for me
Love you all!!!!!
Love Elder Peterson
