Hi all!
I don't have much time this week! So I'll just give you the highlights:
-On Monday we were teaching one of our investigators Mrs. D (remember from last week!) that just got out of the hospital and we were having a great lesson!!! THEN...She agreed to be baptized once she recovers!!!!! It was so awesome!!!!!!! Her son got baptized in September and we have been teaching both of them and it's amazing to see how the gospel really does bless our families.
-On Tuesday, we met one of our investigators, Mr. B at the family history center. He had {literally} no information on his family and we were able to find his dad's line! How sad! Could you imagine not knowing anything about where you came from! And guess what....TEMPLE WORK HAD BEEN DONE! Oh yeah! Turns out, Mr. B's sister is a convert and has been doing some family history work! WE were so happy for him!
-Wednesday was Remembrance Day! Here in Canada they wear a red poppy in remembrance I thought that was nice! They have a little ceremony downtown and you could really feel the spirit of remembrance throughout the town. It helped me to reflect on how I am sacrificing so little and how grateful I am for those that sacrificed their lives.
-It's starting to get cold here and the other day it was night time and we were walking home from tracting and I realized I couldn't feel my feet. For real guys, like I could have stepped on a Lego and it wouldn't have hurt! Holy Cow!!!!
-On Friday we drove down to Nanaimo for a meeting! Road-trips are so fun on the mission and being the northernmost area on the island we have a lot of road-trips.
-We also drove to Victoria yesterday {Monday Nov. 16th} for our Zone Conference! with Elder Teh of the Seventy and President and Sister Burt! We got to drive with other sister missionaries and have a sleepover with the Sister Training Leaders which is always FUN!!!!

-One thing I have learned this week is to live for the little moments of joy. On missions you go through so many ups and downs!! However, it's important to recognize those moments of joy we have in our crazy lives. Whether it's a super cool roadtrip, laughing and looking like a hooligan because you can't feel your legs, or singing hymns at the top of your lungs. Always look for those moments! If you come to a crossroad where you can choose to be miserable or be happy...BE HAPPY!!!!!!!
Next week, I'll write about some things I learned at Zone Conference which were AMAZING!!!! And hopefully I'll have more to write about! I don't have much time today but something I'm working on is being happy and trying my best to have a good attitude :) Hope you will too :)
Till next week...hopefully I won't freeze!
Love ya!
Sister Peterson
