Shaking hands with Elder Stevenson.
Eating homemade pasta with the Gonzalez family.
Hola familia,
I am sorry I haven´t written in a while but I just wanted to let you know that I am doing well! I am still In Arco Iris which is one of the ugliest parts of Buenos Aires but the people here are awesome! All the roads are dirt roads and even though we live on the second floor when we mop the floor stays clean for about two hours because all the dirt! We are living in a new apartment with just me and my companion that is big enough for four, just like the area but we are hoping for four missionaries soon! My companion, Elder Ortolano, is from Brazil but has lived in Canada for the past 7 years. He is going home this transfer and we are working as hard as we can to make this last month his best! We have had lots of amazing opportunities to listen to great church leaders that have taught me many great things! We also have had many changes in the mission with how we will be doing things that I am very excted for to end these last 7 months. I never thought I would be able to say that, but it is passing by too fast! I enjoy seeing your pictures and how much you have changed, especially the kids! Thank you all so much for the Christmas cards, I loved hearing from each and every one of you and am so lucky to have the best family in the world! I would like to let you know that I know this is the only true church in the earth because after many centuries with the heavens closed, they were opened again with the calling of Joseph Smith as a prophet, seer and revelator. I know he and every single prophet we have had since the restoration of the church has been called of God to guide us as His children so that we will be able to return to His presence one day. Obedience brings blessings, especially when it is hard to obey. I know as we all "perseverar hasta el fin" we will be able to live as an eternal family! I love you all so much just as I love my Savior! I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to be one of His representatives. I share this in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
Love,
Elder Petersen
