With Sister Peterson

Wow! This week has been awesome! My new companion, Sister Peterson is

the bomb dot com. She is so cool, so full of the spirit. I'm so

blessed to be with her!

Miracles have abounded this week! We have started to get lots of work

done! At the beginning of the week we had lots of finding, but by the

end of the week we had lots of lessons. We were pretty busy!

Christine (RC) is struggling a bit due to her medical issues, she got

a blessing on Saturday. But she is doing a lot better.

Kayden (RC) got baptized on Saturday! It's so exciting! The spirit was

so strong during the baptism, I know she will do great as a member and

will strive to listen.   The family took us to an Asian restaurant

called New East Asia. It was really good. Interesting enough, there is

a sauce in Asian restaurants here called Kim sauce. It's pretty good.

I got the recipe! 

Yesterday after dinner we walked down the street and contacted

potentials. We met an atheist guy, who was very determined to stay

that way (even though he accepted a Book of Mormon) and he even followed us to

the next door neighbor telling us all about it. (The line in the

subject heading is his. Eye roll) Goodness. People are crazy!

Well, later that evening, we were walking and talking to everyone we

could. At one point we met a young man by the name of Louis. He moved

from Mexico to here a year ago, and studies for two hours a day to

learn English. There was a slight language barrier, but the spirit

just kept urging us to talk to him. I then felt prompted to share the

#Hallelujah video. We did so, and the spirit was so strong! It was

amazing! He really felt it! He agreed to let the Spanish elders come

and teach him! :)

And we also found another Spanish family who were really nice. We gave

then to the Spanish elders too. I hope it was an answer to their

prayers!

This week was a lot cooler, the rains came in. It made it so that we

could be out more. Or at least have more motivation to be outside. We

met so many people just by walking! It's so cool. Sister Peterson is

really brave and is really committed to talk to everyone. It's a

completely different approach to missionary work than I have ever seen

before. And even though we are really different from each other, we

are able to work together because we know the end goal. And because of

that, work is happening! I love it so much!
