Quick updates from the week because I am running out of time. We had MLC this week and it was super inspiring as always, also a little intimidating because of how much I need to work on! We are never done growing people! There is always room for improvement and sometimes that need comes as a slap in the face from your mission presidents wife (not literally). Anyway I won't go into details because spoilers for zone conference, but I definitely got called to repentance.
BUT as always repentance brings blessings! One of those blessings manifested in a new person we found to teach this week! His name is Martin and we met him on Christmas eve. He really wants to find forgiveness and peace from mistakes in his past and he knows that this is the way to find that peace. We had a church tour with him and he kept saying how he could feel the spirit and felt happy. He came to church yesterday and his whole demeanor had changed by the end. His heavy countenance had become light and he said he felt at home.
He is now working towards being baptized and washed clean from his sins on February 23rd!
Another amazing miracle was that CAROLE CAME TO CHURCH! Carole is a woman who the missionaries have been working with for a long time. She absolutely loves the Book of Mormon and can firmly say that she knows this church is true. She has the biggest heart and has raised her own children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren! Sadly all these responsibilities have kept her from doing anything for herself. But she is determined to change that with the new year. Some of her goals include coming to church (which she did!), and reading the Book of Mormon. We are just ecstatic for her!!
It has been a week full of wonderful blessings, such a great start to the new year! Keep pressing forward everyone! The Lord is on your side!
Love,
Sister Peterson
