Also, a little background. Michael, who is six, made the comment that missionaries have three companions: Heavenly Father, Jesus, and Santa.
That is so funny about
Michael! Things out here have been kinda slow this past week, but we have
had some miracles as well.
So, this past Saturday, I had my
first baptism. Her name was B, and Elder Jorgensen baptized her. It
went well. We were invited to a get together at the P’s afterwards,
then to the B’s for lunch. Saturday was a great day.
Now for the miracle parts.
1) So we have been
teaching a Hispanic woman by the name of N. N is in her 50's. She
has been very interested in the Church, but her mom, who is Catholic, is very
against N taking the Discussions. We had invited N to the baptism,
and N said that she would try to go, but wasn’t sure if she would be
able to because of some family issues. So
we were not sure if N would be able to come to the baptism or to church this
Sunday. Fortunately, N was able to come, and she brought her mother, and
her granddaughter, and her granddaughter's boyfriend. So Elder Jorgensen
and I were super happy.
2) On Sunday, N came to church, with her mom!!! I was super happy.

3) Elder
Jorgensen and I were able to bless the sacrament
4) The choir
number in the Canyon Creek ward was awesome
5) I was
able to confirm B a member of the Church.
6) We were
approached by a less active member during a lesson with N, and he said the
closing prayer, and was interested in taking the discussions to help become
more active.
So all in all, looking at the week,
it wasn't as slow as I first thought.
I have made some personal
goals. I am trying to memorize 7 scriptures a week. Today I was
working on Acts 3.19-21. It was kinda interesting to be reminding that
everything that has been revealed today, was revealed back when Christ and his
apostles were on the Earth. So when I have questions about gospel
doctrine, all of the answers really can be found in the scriptures.
But, I have had problems
sleeping. I haven't been able to sleep through the night since I left the
MTC. I have been waking up 6-7 times during the night. I haven't
been able to get more than 2 hours of sleep straight. I go to bed super
tired, and on time, but I wake up super tired and it is hard to get started in
the mornings. I think it might be because of the mouth guards, but I
don't know.
Love,
Elder Peterson
