Transfers 10-24-16

Family and friends,

 How is everyone doing? I hope everyone had a great week and is doing well! This week was a great week for me and we ended the transfer really well! We worked super hard this last week and saw lots of blessings! With having to work in the both areas we lost a lot of time in traveling because the area is huge but we were able to focus on our investigators that are progressing the most. We focused a lot on a new investigator that we found. Her name is Lourdes and she is super awesome! She has had a pretty difficult life with lots of challenges but is really trying to change her life and focus on the good things and especially her faith in Jesus Christ. She has been reading and praying and came to church yesterday and is really progressing! She has a baptismal date for the 19th of November and we are super excited to see her continue progress! The bad thing is that she is in the other Elders area and we are going back to four missionaries tomorrow! We got the calls last night and I am staying here in Santos Lugares and I will be training again! I definitely didn´t see that one coming, especially with only three new elders coming to the mission but the Lord needs me to learn something and that is why He called me to train. I know that He qualifies those He calls and that I will be given His help and guidance as I train. 

 This week for a family home evening we watched the movie about President Monson "On the Lord´s Errand" and I loved it! If you haven´t seen it I encourage you all to see it because I learned a lot! It helped strengthen my testimony that prophets are called of God and prepared by Him to lead each and every one of us! I love his example of always following the promptings of the holy ghost and that is something I have learned a lot in the mission! Never hessitate on acting on the promptings or feelings you receive from the holy ghost and I promise you that you will never be led astray! I love you all so much and am very grateful for your examples! Have a great week and make sure you all follow the promptings you receive from the holy ghost! 

Love,

Elder Petersen
