It's raining it's pouring the missionaries are soaring!
What a BUSY day!! I have had the busiest last 3 days of my mission ever.
Period.
And yes it is pouring rain here. I am just glad I have water proof boots. I
don't have to worry about wet socks thankfully!
Funny you should say that Columbus day is a funny holiday. All the schools
here were out yesterday. And of course the library was too. So here I am
emailing you tonight- because this is the only time we had free today!! So yes
the work is going wonderfully- but hopefully my head doesn't fall off. Sunday we
left for church in the morning and didn't come home until 9:00 that night. Then
Monday we cut p-day an hour short to go to an early lesson and then didn't get
home until 9:30 (which is allowed when in a lesson) and then Today we left for
district meeting after studies and haven't been home since, and now here we are.
We don't have such a hectic day tomorrow, which will be good.
Transfer calls are Saturday and we will see how that goes! I am hoping to
stay. We are doing so much here that it will be heartbreaking to leave, but I
know that Heavenly Father will inspire President to send me (or keep me) where I
am needed most. So we shall see.
Welp, it was Sister T's 23rd birthday on Saturday. So our district
leader and his companions decorated the bedroom for her! I'm sending pictures.
It is about 150 balloons! We got rid of a few of them yesterday, but it was
really fun. I think she enjoyed herself. We went out to Applebees for dinner to
celebrate.
This past week we also had exchanges. Sister D (who is our
Sister Training Leader) and her two companions: Sisters C and D came for
24 hours. It is so fun to serve with other missionaries. I am sad to say that I
will forever be the senior companion- since there are no sisters "older" than
Sister L and me out. It is so crazy to me how many sisters are now in the
mission, and how young they are. But they are definitely ready for service. They
are so much braver than I was at their age. (and yes some Elders do call me
Grandma- remember how they are 5 years younger than I am. And how BP is
their age- and how I babysat him. Oh yeah I remember that! - But don't worry, I
don't let 'em forget it either haha)
Things are coming along with our investigators. M is out of town for the
week, but we had a few lessons with him this past week so things are looking
good. His hardest struggle is recognizing the Spirit- but isn't that common for
all of us? :) He has sincere desire so I know things will change for him. Then
also we have been working with a part-member family. We are teaching the dad
M. He is atheist but he isn't. We had a breakthrough lesson with him
yesterday where the Spirit guided are questions and we found out that he groups
ALL religions together. So if he sees one hypocritical person who believes in
God he doesn't want to be associated with them at all and so he just chooses not
to believe all together. We were able to testify to him that we are the one TRUE
church. That this is it. He still won't pray since he doesn't believe anyone is
listening, but we are getting there.
I love you all lots! Xoxo!
Love Sister Peterson
