I hope that everyone had a great New Years this week and has some great resolutions for this year. But to start it off we had transfers this week, and i am going to be staying in my area but my companion Elder Passey is getting transferred. So that is kind of a bummer, but they are doing our transfers a little different now and i know who i am going to get. But I will be getting Elder Cooley, he was my MTC companion so I am pretty excited about that. But i guess that Elder Dallin H Oaks sent a email to the Mission Presidents and said there will be no more transfer meetings for though's who are still doing it. So we get calls on Tuesday morning you are told who you are going with and how your going to get there so its a little different but nice.
But this week was another crazy one!! But we had a really good time. So to start it off my companion and I after Pday went and we were doing some service, and after service it was late and we wanted to just go home and go to bed,so we went to Taco Bell grabbed something and we left. Well little did we know that we were going to get food poisoning, and we were pretty sick this entire week and it was rough. But we tried to push threw it and did as much as we could for the next couple of days but we were running to the bathroom every 5 minutes for like 4 or 5 days. But we were blessed and able to see some people we hadn't seen in a while and we are feeling good now.
But for our investigators we had a guy come to church and he is a really nice guy. One of the members in our ward brought him and he really likes it. He told us he doesn't know if this is the true church and doesn't know if the Book of Mormon is the word of God, but he is looking for truth and is willing to do whatever he needs to to find it. We were really excited and we had a great member with us to bear his testimony and the spirit was super strong. We have some other people, but they aren't progressing as much as we would like so we are visiting them and helping them as much as we can.
But something cool is I was finally able to finish the Book of Mormon again. And this time I finished it in Spanish. And I have such a strong testimony of the Book of Mormon and the power and guidance that it has for our life's. That no matter how many times we read it, and if we ask if this book is true. He will always give us that witness, if we will ask with a sincere heart. I truely love that book and it has changed my life so much and I hope that yall will take that promise and use it as much as you can!! You can never be to converted to Christ and his teaching!! But i hope yall have a good week and keep up the good work!! Love and miss yall
Elder Peterson
