October 14th, 2013

This past week has been kinda crazy.  So Elder Jones and I have been struggling with teaching people and others keeping appointments.  I really needed to be able to teach.  It turns out that I am completely addicted to teaching people.  I have decided that I was going through teaching withdrawals.  This week definitely helped with that.  This past week Elder Jones and I were able to teach a lot more that we have in the past, and I went on an exchange with my District leader and we taught 8 lessons in one day!  I haven't taught that many in one week in 3 months!  It just felt so good to be able to go out and help that many people to come closer to Christ and to testify of what we know.  I know the word of wisdom prohibits addictive substances, but I think the Lord will let an addiction to missionary work slide a little.  ( I hope ).

One sacrament meeting, the stake president came.  President Lundgreen.  At the end of the meeting he got up and bore his testimony of the Holy Ghost.  One of the things that he said was so powerful.  He said that we can know that we are forgiven when we feel the Holy Ghost.  The spirit cannot dwell in unholy temples.  

No matter what happens, do not stop praying.  Prayer is our one connection of communication to God in this whole world.  And Satan knows this.  he will do anything that he can to keep you from praying.  Do not allow yourself to leave the church.  Our lives are so much better with it than without.  Without it, we will eventually lose ourselves in the world and maybe never find ourselves again.  

Never leave God.  He will never leave you.

Dont leave him

Love Elder Peterson
