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.
D&C 42:6

...when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God. Mosiah 2:17

Hey Everyone,

This week has been good. We found this great young family. His name is Joe and his girlfriends name is Beatrice. They have a 6 month year old baby girl and she is really cute. We found him just knocking on doors and he was out back splitting wood. We asked if we could help him, he said no and did not pay much attention to us and kept working.  We started telling him who we were and what we do and he started to listen and then he said to us, "oh I thought you were here about the house. I thought you were about to kick us out or something because of the way you are dressed." haha We asked if we could help with the wood again, this time he looked at the wood pile then at us and said yes. So we helped him finish his wood cutting.  Then after we were done, we talked to them about the church and left them with our card. Three days later, we show back up and he invites us in and he is super friendly to us and we get to know their family.  We shared the Plan of Salvation and they both said they really liked it. They don't have very much back ground on religion so they are really ready to learn.  As we were leaving, we didn't even have to ask if we could come back, they asked us when the next time we could come back was. That is always the best feeling. 

I hope everyone is having a great week I love you all!

Love Elder Peterson
