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

Hey Everyone,

This week has been good. We have a new person on date for Baptism. His name is Glen, he is Jeremy and Shelli's roommate.  He is a pretty cool guy. He gets really into it when we teach him and he is doing it for the right reasons too.  We asked him why he wanted to be baptized and he said "because it's all about the gospel of Jesus Christ, it's the whole reason why we are here". So it's going good with him and Jeremy and Shelli. 

Everything is going great we have a pretty steady teaching pool right now.  It's warm, about in the 80's and 90's, but it is going to rain on us for the next couple days. 

I miss you all

Love Elder Peterson

This week was transfers week, and it turns out that I am staying in Spirit Lake for 6 more weeks with Elder Johnson. 

We are close to having two people get baptized, so if that can happen in the next six weeks that would be amazing, but there are always things that get in the way. 

We are still doing good in the area with people to teach.  We have been working hard so I'm glad we get to stay for 6 more weeks! 

I love you all.

Hey Everyone,

This week was great!  We did a lot of service and it was very fun. It's always good to get out of a suit and work for a little bit. 

We had 2 investigators come to church this last week and they are super legit! One of them text us later Sunday night and told us that she was very thankful for what we do and she was so happy she was able to come to church. I really hope she can keep progressing and be baptized when I am still here. That would be really amazing to see.

Hey Everyone,
This week was a normal week until Sunday. Sunday was Stake Conference and I thought that it was going to be the slowest day in missionary history because we are usually in meetings at the church all day. So it went from 5 hours of church to like 2.  We were going to have to find a ton of stuff to do. So like usual, we planned for the day, and then almost nothing went as planned. The people we set up to see either dodged us or canceled. But then, out of the blue we had some recent converts call us and have us come teach them. Then we had another one call us, and then another for a blessing! It was pretty amazing. And it filled our day.  It went form our slowest day of the week to our most productive, so it was really fun. 

To top things off it was snowing almost all day Sunday.

Love Elder Peterson
