Hey Everyone, 


My Email is late because we had to work over memorial day, so our P-day is today.


 This last week has been really slow and full of cancellations. We only got to teach like 2 times this week. We have been trying to see less active and potentials and they are either never home or they are home and don't answer the door. This one lady was out on her porch and saw us driving up so she went inside and turned on the tv and closed the door. She acted like she wasn't home...haha. And we could see her in the house. I dont know what it is about some people!! 


We did get some head way with the Westons. They are letting us come over and help them paint Thursday at noon so maybe they will get to know us more.  Then we can get to know them and it will make them want to come to church! They say they are just really busy right now and that's why they are not coming but I think it might be something else. 


But really other than that we have only been tracking and getting doors closed in our face!  It was kind of a depressing week haha :( but it has been like that in the whole mission I guess, so we will just shake it off and keep going! I love you all and miss you tons!!

Love Elder Peterson

Hey everyone,

This week was good we had a lesson with Bob and Sherry and with the Kennaches. They both went good but not so good! let me explain!

We went to Bob and Sherry's and she told us that she didn't think this church is right for her and that she has really liked us to come in her home so she could feel the spirit. But she said that us coming over has just made her faith stronger in the Catholic church! Weired huh! But anyway, I told her that I think she feels that way because when she thinks of religion or the spirit she thinks of growing up in the Catholic church and that's where she goes to get more of it. And if she will read the Book of Mormon and start coming to church and follow the commandments she will know that this is the one and only true church! So she said she would give it a try but we will see what really happens! 

Then at the kennaches we just kinda talked outside about random stuff. Patrick is a really funny guy and we just talked for a while and we got a on date for Kristine again!  Its going to be on June 9th. They said they didn't want to wait any longer and she needs to be baptized so this should be a pretty solid date!

Elder Brown and I went trackting and we took some funny pics and stuff at peoples houses that weren't home it was really fun. 

Something cool that happened this week was we found a guy who is a JDUB and he took a Book of Mormon and said he is not interested but he would read it anyway!  And he said you never know maybe something in this book will change my mind!! So we will go see what he thought of it in a week or two!

Hey Everyone,
This week was really good!! Not only because I got to talk to my family for mothers day but because we had some good lessons and it has been a really fun week! 

First, we have been trying to still get Kristine back on date but they keep canceling on us.  And now Patrick has to work nights so he is sleeping all day, so it even harder to get in there! 

We had a good lesson with the Maxes. We read about baptism and how its not the end but its the start on the path for eternal life.  They agreed to everything we were telling them, but they still won't get baptized, so I am still trying to figure out what they need to take the next step! 

Our teaching pool is starting to go down now that it is starting to get into summer because everyone is busy or they just don't want to hear form us.  It's kinda frustrating but we will always keep trying! 

Some funny/cool things that have happened in the last week!

-I told a guy that if could out drive him with a 7 iron then he should come to church next Sunday and I did! :) so we will see if he shows up!

-We were watching two kids fight with wooden swords and one was chasing after the other and his pants fell down as he was running and tripped haha.

-Some kid was talking to one of our members and as we were walking up to talk to them he said "oh no here come the tuxedo people"!! Then he asked for a Book of Mormon! 

Everything is going great we are trying to keep up the work as best as we can and I love you all!

Love Elder Peterson!

Elder Stubbs

Hey Everyone!

This week I shipped off my old companion and got a new one! His name is Elder Stubbs. He is From Ceder City Utah......ya another one from Utah!  He has been out for 13 months. 

The first day Elder Stubbs came to Plummer we went to see Angelita, she has had all kinds of problems in her life. We are trying to work them all out but its not so easy! She told us she was going to come to church this Sunday, but when her ride showed up she was crying and said she was not going. So we have to go see what was going on over there. 

We have been trying to meet with Kristine again so we can set a date to be baptized but she is so tired and busy with the baby and Patrick is busy at work, they can never find a moment to sit down. 

We have not been out to the Maxes yet this week ether. They said they were busy too so I'm hoping this next week people will start to calm down and we can teach them!

We have been starting to teach Branden again this week he is a cool guy and understands the Book Of Mormon he just can quit smoking! Almost everyone has a word of wisdom problem on the reservation and it is a pain in the butt! 

That's everything that has happened this week that is worth telling about so I will see you all next week then :)

Love Elder Peterson

Hey Everyone,

 

So it was transfers this week and I am staying in Plummer once again, but I cant say the same for Elder Nelson. He is packing up and moving on after being here for almost 8 months. My new companion is going to be Elder Stubs. 

 This week was really good, Elder Nelson wanted to say goodbye to everyone so we didn't have a lot of non member lessons, but the ones we did have went really really good! This week with Bob and Sherry Max we talked about the Holy Ghost and how they will know when the find out the church is true. When Sherry came to church last week the lesson was on the priesthood and she found out that Elder Nelson and I had the priesthood.  She asked us for a blessing and so we gave her a blessing and she started crying. Then after we gave Bob a blessing she started crying harder! We were waiting for her to just say I want to be baptized, but she never did. :( I know she knows the church is true and she just needs to jump in to it and she will love every minute of it! She just does not want to let go of her Catholic background.

That was my big story for this letter but I have a lot of cool little stories or things that have happened so here they are!

Kristine is still recovering from her baby Walela (wich means humming bird in Indian), she still wants to get baptized, I just hope her husband will keep the word of wisdom and still be able to baptize her.

We baptized Rachel this last Friday and she was so happy and excited it was really cool to watch!!

One of our members drew our mission president doing a thumbs up. he can't lift his thumb up off his hand when he does it so its really funny.

Elder Brown and I went on exchanges and took some really cool pictures and found a gas mask!

I got picture of the cutest Indian baby you will ever see her name is Khloe and she love the missionaries!

Elder Nelson and I were working on something for mothers day but now I don't think it will be done in time so me and Elder Stubs will make a new one. But it might not be in time for mothers day but we will surely try!

I love you all!!

Elder Peterson
