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

...good is the word of the Lord... 2 Kings 20:19


Hey Everyone,

This week was good and bad, bad because our only investigator in Coulee Dam dropped us. But good because we also might have found a way cool family to teach out there. So it's like we give up something good to get something better! 

We have been working a lot on finding investigators because after the two Baptisms we just had, our teaching pool has gone down way to much.  We have been knocking on doors and working with members! 

I also got to hold a Hedge Hog cool huh! Sorry the pictures are blurry my comp took the pic. 

I love you all so very much!
Love Elder Peterson!

And the people believed... Ex. 4:31


Hey everyone,

This week was transfers and I will be staying in Omak with Elder Wydner for 6 more weeks. 

We baptized two people last transfer and our goal this transfer is two more!  I think we can do it, because we just met 4 new great people who seen real legit. I have only meet them all once or twice but they are really cool people who want to learn and do the right thing! 

Rena Rozales got Baptized and that was a great thing. When she got confirmed she said that her head started to tingle when we put are hands on our head! So next time we talk with her we will let her know what that was.

Love you all
Elder Peterson

This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Ps 118:24


Hey everyone,


This week Wayne was baptized and he loved it! And just in time for Christmas.
It was a great Christmas gift for him and his wife!

 

Our teaching pool has really gone up the last 2 weeks. We have been really
busy and we have had people call us and ask us to

come over and teach them out of the blue! People are happier this time of
year so everything is going very well!

 

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and they can Focus on love and
being with family this Christmas. Remember what

Christmas is about......not the gifts.

 


Love Elder Peterson

And whoso knocketh, to him will he open... 2 Nephi 9:42


Hello Everyone,

 

Elder Wydner and I had a pretty good week. We have been getting a lot of snow
here but we have not let that stop us from working hard.

 
There is a lady named Rena who Elder Hardesty and I found and this last week,
we invited her to be baptized and she never gave us a yes or a no. But then later
on that night she called us and asked what date it was that we asked her to be
baptized, and we said Jan 5 so she said ok lets plan on that! At first she didn't
want any one to be there and she didn't want any music or any speakers, but as
she has been making friends she is getting super excited about the whole thing
and she even asked me to baptize her! So this last week has been a fun one we
have had some good Progress in Coulee Dam we found one lady who really likes
us but she wants us to come watch her boy play in a high school basketball game.
I told her that was very very unlikely that we would be permission to do.

 

Love you all and have a Merry Christmas!

 

-Elder Peterson

...for the joy of the Lord is your strength. Neh. 8:10


Hello everyone,

 

This week was GREAT!

 

I hope you all had a great Christmas because I did. It was great to call home and see my family!

 

We found this lady and her son we are now teaching and she is really catholic but she is not very

active. She is going to try our church. She is really nice and her son is a really cool kid, he is 17

and he is 6foot 4inches he plays basketball too!

 

Rena is still ready for Baptism on the 5th of Jan. and I can't wait for that!

 

I also got to pet a deer this last week!! It was everything I dreamed it would be!!

 

 

Love you all Elder Peterson
