This week was a crazy but really great week! It started off with a flash. Tuesday night at 10:00 we received a call from the assistants telling us that Elder Meneses would be heading to Moreno the next day! We both didn´t know what to think and were really shocked, especially after the great week we had together last week. He was super sad to leave his first area and it was hard to see him go but I am excited to see his progression and know that he will be a great missionary! Our last week together I think I finally learned what the Lord wanted me to learn from him and when i had finally learned it He sent Elder Meneses to where he needs to be right now and that was another testimony builder for me! Now I am in another trio... I think there is a rule in the Argentina Buenos Aires West Mission that if there is a trio in the mission Elder Petersen has to be a part of it! haha No, it actually isn´t too bad and the two Elders that I am with right now are both great and really fun to be with! We had a great week and worked really hard!
This week we were trying to find a less active to help him we were walking through the street and a bunch of kids started saying stuff to us so we stopped and talked to them. We knew they wouldn´t want anything so we told them about the soccer field we have behind the church and invited them to play when they want and they started talking about how bad they would beat us and one even said he would dance with the ball around us. You all know me and can probably guess that we played a little game right there to show them that the "yankees" can play soccer too! We played three on three in the street to five and had a great time! People came out of their houses to watch their kids play and everyone was laughing and having a good time. Although we lost (only by one!), we had a good time and found some new people to teach out of it! You never know what things can bring opportunities to teach the gospel so always be ready to share your testimonies!
Right now we are working with quite a few new investigators that we have found helping them progress. The investigator we have that is closest to baptism right now is Cristian Gomez. His family are all members and he is finally realizing that it is something he needs and wants to do! We are working on getting him and his wife married so he can get baptized and we are super excited for them and especially him! Speaking of marraige I ran into Eduardo and Yessica this week (a convert from my very first area) and they are doing great! They are getting sealed in the temple in just one month from today and their story is going to be in the December Liahona!! I am so very grateful for all the amazing people I have gotten to know here In Argentina and know that I was called here for many reasons!
I love and miss you all so much and hope everything is going well! A big shout out to all the moms with it being mothers day here in Argentina (the only country that doesn´t have it in may)! Especially to my mom who is so amazing! Thank you for everything especially your great example of love and service! Have a wonderful week and talk to you soon!
Love,
Elder Petersen
