Hey guys!
Well, this week was a little
rough for us. Our appointments with our investigators, recent converts and less
active members all flaked out! It was very disappointing to see that happen,
but over all we still made plans and set goals to accomplish. During the week
we had an objective to meet all of the less active members in our branch… Which
really should be a ward because of the number of members we have lol so we
accomplished what we could!
I sent a package to you
guys! It should be there soon. It’s full of little things I’ve collected so far
on my mission. I was getting tired of dragging so much stuff around each
transfer and transfers are next week! So the package will be getting to you
guys just in time. Anyway, I hope you guys will enjoy what’s inside. :)
Speaking of sending
packages… I was wondering if you guys wouldn’t mind sending me a blue Buffalo
Bills jersey. I want to represent! The members keep telling me they are 2-1!
So, if you ever miss me, just watch one of their games and cheer them on. :)
I’m thinking the Buffalo Bills should be our new family team!
I got the video you sent me
of Deegan getting excited when you say my name! That’s so cute. :) I loved it!
It made my day haha
Well, this week we both got
sick! It was a long week because of it. We bought some cold medicine and I
think we’re finally starting to get over it. I don’t like being sick…
especially on a mission! I never realized how much I relied on mom and dad to
take care of me lol Being on a mission really does help you learn how to grow
up. Experience is the best teacher!
This week’s spiritual
thought is a talk called Truly Good & Without Guile by Elder Michael T.
Ringwood. It’s such a good reminder that as long as we are obedient for the
right reasons and follow the Savior’s example, we can be saved by His
atonement. Ever since I became a missionary, my testimony has become one
thousand times stronger. As a missionary, you are constantly hearing who the
next assistant to the president is going to be, or who the next zone leader is…
Honestly, I couldn’t care less. I am grateful for who I am as a worthy
representative of Jesus Christ. I’m not saying receiving a calling is bad but
it’s a sacred privilege and should never be taken lightly. Receiving a calling
is a sacred trust between you and the Lord but I want to focus on the calling I
have now.
I love being a missionary
and I am grateful to be the Lord’s servant! I love and miss you guys very much :)
Love,
Elder Peterson
