Hello!

This week has been a rainy one which is a nice change from the blazing heat! But holy cow! It's almost AUGUST!! We get transfer calls this Saturday night and we will have to just see what happens. I have really enjoyed my companions, and I will be sad to have some change, but we all know that this gospel is not a gospel of comfort, we all have to change to grow. I'm excited for all that the mission has to hold for these two amazing girls!

We have had quite the eventful week. On Tuesday the sisters from Monahans came for exchanges. Sister D, S, and Sc. (Sister D comes home this week to American Fork Utah!! I'll give her your info so you can go to her homecoming if you'd like).  I have seen such a great change in Sister S and it is so exciting. So it was fun to have her around for the day. And Sister Sc came out with Sister P, and is from Australia (sadly no accent). It is always so nice to get together with other missionaries, and so helpful to have that encouragement and see the way that we can work better.

Then we have been having members really step up and start pushing the work forward. We had a part member family at church that a member asked us to go see, and now they are involved in Scouts and Mutual and now church!! And then a member led us to her next door neighbor and she is pumped and ready to join! And then we went with a member to visit their neighbor in the hospital and had a wonderful lesson there. We also had 3 members yesterday refer us to the same less active family (we get the hint!!) and after weekly planning on Friday and prayerfully choosing a name of a member from the ward to go visit, a different member called us last night and referred us to THAT exact name! Miracles are happening!

I love you all! xoxox Sister Peterson
