Scaring little children and a test of faith

Family and Friends,

   Well its weird to put that title up there. Only 8 months left of the best two years of my life. What a bummer. I'm so excited to see you all again very sad to think about all these precious people that i wont see again.

   Well this week is full of great stories. I'm hope your all up for them. 

   The first one takes place here in the within the walls of the oh so ever humble office. I was minding my own business and getting a lot of things ready for a Leadership training meeting that we will be having with a member of the seventy, Elder Krosnoselsky, this coming Monday. Now, at this time, the ward was having a ward night just down the hall. So all of a sudden a little kid with about 5 years of age comes barreling in with a ping pong ball. He threw it at me and i wasn't about to have that so i threw it back at him. Jaja so this happened for a good half an hour then i had to get back to work so i tried ditching him in a polite manner so i had the great idea to throw the ball and then run but he just kept catching on and finding me again. So i scared him. It was just a nice scare but it went too far. I jumped out from behind the wall and he jumped back and just stood there for a couple of seconds with a blank stare on his face. He slowly looked down and do did I. I had scared him so bad that he had peed himself. jajaj oops

   Just last night i was driving with my main man Elder Vela and in the oncoming traffic there was a collectivo coming and the road was too small to both pass at the same time. The collectivo wasn't slowing down at all so i had to stop very quickly. But little did i know that there was a man on a moto that wasn't paying too much attention, he came and railed into the back of the car. He got up right away and went on his way and nothing happened to our car. So, all is well.

   The other day Elder Johnson and I went out to work and find some people to baptize, you know, the usual. We clapped at a house and a teen came out to greet us. He told us he was a member that wants to come back to church and he asked us to come to his house because he couldn't meet with us that moment. He told us to come back tomorrow and he will invite some non member friends. I didn't believe him. Lack of faith i guess. I have just had a lots of experiences of this nature that don't turn out to be anything. Well this one certainly didn't turn out like the others. We tested our faith and we went! it turned out great! he invited two non members and a less active. He even prepared some sandwiches for us. We have another lesson with them tonight and its out turn to take some brownies. And nothing could go better with brownies than a baptismal date. Whoo Hoo wish us luck.

    Well that's about in the life of Elder Petersen. I hope you guys have a great week and learn lots. 

Love Elder Petersen

You may believe that this is our zone but in fact it is my district.
