Hey Everyone,
This week I got transferred to Omak. Omak is a huge area. We have 2 very small wards with 3 or 4 investigators. My companion is Edler Hardesty from Saint George, Utah. He has been out 22 months and in this area for 5 months so I think I will be his last companion. Then take over the area so I will probably be here for awhile.
We had a cool experience this week in Omak. Our investigator text us randomly and asked if we could have a lesson today from 5:30 to 6. So investigators just don't do that so we are freaking out that she is going to drop us. So we go to meet her at the church and we get there at 5:20, then she text us and pushes it back to 6. We are just hanging at the church when this guy in a safari hat and an unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt walks by and sits down at the church in some shade. I said "lets go see what the crap this guy is doing", so we walk over. And at this point, he has taken his shirt all the way off. We walk over and he jumps up and puts his shirt back on and starts saying sorry and he didn't know this was a church. We told him it was ok and we are not getting him in to any trouble or anything. So then after a little small talk we started telling him about the church he was napping on and it turns out that he has a few LDS friends. He has never been inside one, so we invited him on a fast church tour. Because Katelyn our investigator was on the way. Right as we finished the tour she called us and said she is out side and she brought a friend. We had an awesome restoration lesson with three non members in front of the baptismal font in the church! It was crazy!! And I love it when crazy things happen!!

We also went to Coulee Dam this week and there was a lightning storm and it caught the hill on fire all over the place! The town looked like a battle zone!!
Love you all Elder Peterson
