I hope you all had a great Valentines Day yesterday and had a great week! My first week here in the offices was pretty crazy but really awesome as well. It is a lot of hard work here that I had no idea I would be doing but I am super excited and grateful that I have been given this opportunity to learn new skills I will use for the rest of my life! I am not the best at computers and that is what I am working on all day so I will have to get a lot better at that stuff and in the week I have been here I have already learned so much and know that I will continue to learn more each and every day. Every time someone calls the mission office, I have to answer the phone. I was super nervous when I heard that but it hasn't been bad at all! I actually talk to a lot of people in english which is really weird! We actually talk in english almost all of the time here and it has been pretty bad for my castellano but I try to use it as much as I can and continue to improve everyday!
What we have been focusing on a lot lately is the meeting with Elder Bednar that we are going to have! Yes, Elder Bednar is coming to our mission the 24th and we are all very excited! We have a lot of things to do to get ready for it but I am super excited to be able to hear from an apostle! I am so grateful for a living prophet who leads and guides us and gives us the counsel we need to be able to make it back to our Heavenly Father and live forever with our families.
My challenge for this week is to try something new! Try something you have never done before and learn to love it. I promise that as you all try something new and step out of your comfort zones you will find new things that you enjoy and will be glad you tried it.
Sorry I don´t have that much to write this week but I just wanted to end by saying that in a year and a half from today I will be heading home. It is crazy how fast the time is going by. I am doing my best to make the most of the short time I have here every day because I know this time and these two years are the best two years FOR my life. I have learned so much and am so grateful for all of the opportunities I have had so far to serve others everyday all day. I just want you all to know how much I love this gospel and my savior Jesus Christ. I am so lucky to have this opportunity to be His representative here in Argentina. I am grateful for the love for the people that He has blessed me with so that I have the desire to serve them and help them come to the knowledge of this amazing gospel and church.
I love you all so much and am so grateful for all of your examples in my life! Have a great week and don´t forget to wish my sister a happy birthday!!
Love,
Elder Petersen
