I guess Elder Petersen loves to receive "real" mail. Thanks Elda!
Well fmaily and friends I have now been gone for over three months! My three months was on thanksgiving as well so it was a party here in Argentina for me! Although the food was not as good, I had a lot less of it, and I was not with all of you, my thanksgiving really was amazing! I hope you all know how thankful I am for you all and for all that you have done for me to get where I am at today! I also hope you all know how grateful I am for the wonderful gospel we have and for this time the Lord has given me to serve here in Argentina! I know that I was called here for many reasons and everyday I am finding out new reasons why I am here, even on the hard days! Heavenly Father has blessed me so very much during my time here! Especially with a love for the people here and the country and the ability to speak so well! Everyone here tells me how well I speak for the short time I have here which I always tell them is not because of me but because of the Lord! Everyday I learn something new and still have a long way to go but I absolutely love costellano!! I think I have been so successful because I focus on being simple and using what I know. That is also my challenge for this week, simplify things. We were challlenged by our Mission President to simplify the way we teach and I have seen the success from simplifying things in just one week! This week we had 14 new investigators which is a lot for only one week! 8 of them came from this Thursday, thanksgiving! It was a great day! I know as you simplify things in your lives and cut out the things that are unneccesary you will be blessed and have more joy in your lives! Sorry I don´t have a lot this week again! I love and miss you all and hope you all have a great week!
Love,
Elder Petersen
