He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. Ps. 24:5

Hey everyone,

This week was awesome, well kinda. It was transfer week so we had a lot of meetings and driving to do. 

My new comp. is Elder Morain. He is only here for a little while until he gets his visa so he can go to his mission in Brazil. He is a great missionary he has a lot of spunk to do missionary work. 

Felicia is Baptized now as you all know.  She is still doing great. She is getting her husband more active in the church, he as been for the past 4 weeks and they just had their baby blessed this last week.  I got to stand in the circle, it was way cool, it was my first baby blessing. 

Northport is still doing great the people here are starting to get used to having missionaries here so people are starting to talk to us and things are moving forward our branch will be a ward in no time!

Love Elder Peterson

Hey Everyone,

This week was great! It ended with the baptism of Felicia. She is a super awesome person who loves the gospel and she has been working very hard for this!

It was transfers this week and I found out that I am staying here and I am training a new missionary. I am now a District leader. This transfer should be very fun!

Love you all.

...who shall stand in his holy place? Ps. 24:3

Hey Everyone,

This week was great! 

Felicias baptism was pushed back to this next Saturday do to some confusion so we will be able to see a baptism on the last day week of the transfer! There is planed to be 3 baptisms that day at the church so it is going to be a great day for this district! 

I get the opportunity to go to the temple this week as well. We are going tomorrow with another group of Elders. It's going to be fun. The Temple is a great place to get about from the stress of missionary work or any kind of work for that matter! 

Northport is doing great! the members here are very helpful and they love doing missionary work! I hope you all have a great week!

Love Elder Peterson

Hey Everyone,

I can not believe it is "P" day again. It feels like yesterday that we were here emailing. It's crazy how time just flies by! 

We have been having a pretty good week. We have been working a lot with the members in the branch so they can learn to trust us and then we will help them invite their friends to have dinner with the missionaries or something. It's working! We are finding people to teach and all is well in the small town of Northport! 

Felicia is getting baptized on the 20th, so this Saturday. She has been meeting with missionaries for a long time and now she is finally ready to be baptized. She has had some problems with her family not supporting her but she has pushed through it like a champ. She has a very strong testimony in the gospel and in our savior Jesus Christ. I cant wait to she her baptized she is amazing.

Love Elder Peterson

...I will also ask of you one question... Mark 11:29

This week in beautiful Northport Washington was a good week! 

We were able to teach one of our investigators a few times this week. She is preparing to be baptized on July 20th and she is working hard towards that goal. 

It seems like this week was the week where we got 50 potential investigators. But now we have to follow up with everyone and try to set up lessons with those who are interested. 

It also seemed like this was a week full of questions. Almost everyone we meet with this week had a list and a half full of questions. Which is really good because that means they are studying and really wanting to learn the truth. 

Some good things are going on in Northport I'm excited to see what is going to happen in the weeks to come.

Love you all

Elder Peterson.

New Area!

Hello Everyone,

This week in Northport WA was great!  

We had one investigator come to church and she loved it. She will be getting baptized on the 20th. 

We have been here two weeks now and we just got a house. So we are no longer living in a camper hooray!! It has been really fun camping on my mission but I like the house better. 

We have been working with this part member family the Watkins.  They have been doing good, they just need to quit smoking and come to church. We are helping them in every way we know how. 

We are also doing a member 30 day fast. Every member fasts for one day of the month and pray for missionary work.  It has been doing good so far, and we are only on day one so wish us luck!

Love Elder Peterson

 Hey everyone,

This week was good. I got transfer calls and I am going to Northport Washington and staying in the Spokane mission. 

Love you bye

...but the righteous are bold as a lion. Prov. 28;1

Hey Everyone,

This week has gone by way to fast! Kind of like this whole transfer, kind of just like my whole mission! I cant believe I only have 7 months left. It is crazy how fast it is going by. 

Anyways enough trunkyness. This week has been great. I have been working with all of our investigators pretty close. We thought we might have lost one this week because it seemed like she was avoiding us, but it just turned out that she was having some problems with her head. So she was visiting the doctors and having to rest a lot. So all was well there. 

We have been being trained on how to teach people, not lessons.  I have been trying to use that with our investigators. Trying to be bold but loving at the same time. It's kind of hard to do. 

I love being here but transfers are coming up and they are splitting the mission.  There will be a lot of changes and a lot of moving around.  I think I will be moving.

Love Elder Peterson.

Hey, this week was pretty fun. 

It was a week full of exchanges, I got to stay in my area with Elder Carlile and then I went to Hayden lake with Elder Brodlale. I don't really know why I told you their names it's not like you know who i'm talking about anyways. But it was fun and I learned a lot of good things.

Exchanges are always fun, when I was on the exchange with Elder Brodlale we went to his district meeting. Elder Ebmeyer is his District Leader and he did a pretty good District Meeting. We talked about our Christlike Attributes that we have been working on. I have been working on Diligence, so far I think it is going great. 

Love Elder Peterson

...he holds men accountable for their acts... D&C 134;1

This week was pretty good for the most part, other than some stuff. We will start out with the bad stuff because it is funnier that way. 

First off, I backed into a post this week and now I can't drive for awhile. 

We have three investigators who all have said they want to get baptized but there is one thing holding each of them back. It's either going to church, paying tithing, or getting married. 

Sooo it has been a little saddening this week .  I don't think any of them will be baptized when i'm still here because transfers are in 3 weeks. I will probably be leaving. 

So the area is doing good and the work is going forward just slower then I would like, but you cant do to much about that.

Elder Peterson
