"And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm" Acts 28:5

Hey Everyone,

 I sent some pics of last week and some this week. That is the dog that bit me and what it did to my arm! Then my comp. in the ER because he passed out haha! 

This week we had some funny things happen and some good teaching moments! First things first, we had a lesson with two 20 year old kids and they love the church!! And they are on date for baptism for the 28th of July! 

My mission president is leaving June 28th and my new mission president gets here on June 28th!! And we meet him July 1 so that is pretty exciting! 

Lewiston put on this big ten days of praise party down town. We found 4 people to go on church tours, it was awesome! 

Some funny story's now!

-We were teaching two little girls who are 7 and 6 and we asked them what they are thankful for that god has given them. And the 6 year old said right off the bat "scissors"!! haha

-We found this little green taco van and we thought "hey lets eat there".  So we did and we got tongue nachos-we call them the gift of tongues nachos! (mission joke its ok if you dont think thats funny)

Love you all!!

Elder Peterson

Hey Everyone, 


This week I got sent to Lewiston ID.  My first day here I got bit by a dog taking my bike up the stairs to my apartment.  
But my companion, Elder Whiting, thought he had to one up me...so he passed out in the ER when we were visiting people!! He got put up in the ER haha!! So it has been a crazy week! We are both fine!! It's just funny what has been happening to us haha. 


I will send you pictures next week because I forgot my camera to send pics to you! 


Lewiston is a lot different than Plummer. Bigger city, more people, and i'm on bikes instead of a car full time! But it is still fun and i'm still trying to get to know everyone and the people i'm teaching! 


Sorry this email is short but i'm running out of time emailing and I have to go Love you all!

Elder Peterson

First Transfer!

Hey Everyone, 

I am going to start off by telling all of you that I am leaving Plummer and going to Lewiston ID! It will be good to have some change! I can't wait, it is going to be awesome! 

Elder Stubbs is leaving to they are bringing Sister Missionaries into Plummer so it can have a fresh start!!  

This week in Plummer we did a lot of service for the Maxe's. We cleaned out there goat pen and I have never moved so much poopy hay in my life!!! When I first started I dug my pitch fork in the hay and when I lifted it up the smell hit me and it really took me back to the good ol' farm days haha!  But really it was gross haha!  

Sherry said she was not going to meet with us or read with us any more but we could still come by and read with Bob. So we do and even though she wont read, she will listen to us and ask questions. So she thinks she is done meeting with us but she really isn't! They were both really sad to see me leave! I will miss them and I hope one day they will be baptized and go to the temple! 

I can't wait to write you all from Lewiston and tell you how it is going there it is going to be way fun!

Love Elder Peterson!

Hey Everyone! 


This week has been......well just bad but you seem to make the best of the bad weeks out here! It's been bad just because its like everything we do just ends up going bad! We already had a rough week because all the people we go to see are ether not home or just see that its us and don't answer the door. 


This one lady, we knocked and knocked because her car was there and the lights were on and she never answered so we walked away. As we got into the car her grand daughter rides up on her bike and walks inside.  So it just has been depressing. Then to top it of we got dropped by Sherry Max. But she said we still can come over and teach her husband! So its awkward to go over there now and teach him when she is just walking around the kitchen and listening to us. 


Kristine Kennach moved her date to the 16th instead of the 9th because she had something going on the 9th. So if I dont stay another transfer then I wont get to see her be baptized.


I don't really want to stay another transfer because I kinda want to see someplace new and have change! There is never a week of my mission that I don't love!!!! 


So there was some good stuff that happened this week! We found a new place to live but it has to be finished being built. We are waiting for that. Everyone wants me to stay here another transfer because they all love me! I feel so loved so thats good!! umm....and Plummer is doing better than most places in this mission so that makes me feel a little better! I know I will be fine and it will get better so I will push through it!! 


I love you all!!

Love Elder Peterson
