Family and friends,
I hope all is well back at home! This week was another great one for me as always here in Argentina, even when you are riding your bike with one hand for a few days! This week I noticed that one of my handle bars was starting to break a little so I only used one hand because I didn´t want it to break and it wasn´t that big of a deal because it is more comfortable anyway. Even with riding with only one
hand and not even touching the handle, going over a bump, it just fell off! The bike looked super weird with only one handle bar on it (I will have pictures next week because this computer won´t let me)! I got it all fixed and everything is back to normal now! Argentina is still super hot right now and especially with riding an all black bike all day! The worst is when we come out from a lesson or something and you can´t even sit on your seat because it is so hot!
The past few days have been a little cooler but this week it is
supposed to start warming up again which I am not looking forward to! Chivilcoy is super awesome and super pretty! There is a little city and then a lot of dirt roads and farms which makes me think of home. The whole city goes around a plaza that is at the center of the city and it is super pretty! They have a Christmas tree with lights on it still up which is pretty cool to ride by every night!
We have some pretty good investigators we are working with right now and we are having some pretty great success! Rocio is our one investigator with a baptismal date (the 30th of January) and she came to church yesterday which we were super excited about! She walked there with her two little kids in the rain!! She is super awesome and can´t wait for her to receive all the blessings that come from baptism!
Her two kids are super cute and we are also teaching another guy who is a professional soccer player who has the cutest little daughter ever! It stinks because I just want to pick them up and hold them but I can´t! That´s okay because before we know it I will be holding my own little babies and I cant wait! I do not have a challenge for you all this week because I want you all to focus on my challenge from a while ago with the Book of Mormon. I have been focusing a lot lately on that and I want you all to know that I know it is true and the importance it has in my life and the impact it can have on anyones life. All we have to do is read it! We
have the roadmap to get us through life at our fingertips and often times we take it for granted. I hope we can all try a little harder to be a little better with our study of the Book of Mormon. I know we will all be blessed for our efforts and will be happier and have more peace in our lives.
I want you all to know how much I love and miss you and also how much I love being a representative of Jesus Christ and helping the people here in Argentina feel more of His love! Have a great week all of you!
Love,
Elder Petersen
