Just when I thought I was getting better.....WHAM!!!!!!!!!! Sickness strikes again!!! Even worse than last week!!! BUT we had GREAT WEEK!!!!!! Tuesday was Zone Conference with President and Sister Burt and it was so good! It was 7 1/2 hrs long!!!! We were so spiritually tired but man was it needed!!! We learned how to better our studies and how to exercise better...dun dun dun!!! It was the funniest and best training given by lovely Sister Burt!!! We have been trying really hard this week to do better and to eat more healthy...somehow it turned into a points system and a competition between Sister Hawke and I {partly my doing....oops!} But we are doing good and trying to be SO HEALTHY!!!!! Across from The Abbotsford Stake Center there is a Punjabi (Sikh) Temple and it looks like Aladdin's palace!!!!! So cool!!! I will send a pictures as soon as I can!! Hahaha Wednesday we had a great day!! Got to ride in the convertible with Beth again!! Top down AWESOME!!!!!!!!! We got lost in Surrey and Beth was like lets ask this man...well after we drove away we ended up driving in a circle and passed the man again...AWKWARD!! Beth was like give him a mormon.org card!!! She's the best recent Convert ever!!! So....Sister Hawke stands up in the back of the convertible and says "hey we forgot to tell you we're missionaries and we just talk to people about God!!! IT WAS SO FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Convertible Contacting = Check! He said he would look at the new Easter video!! It was awesome!!!! We finally found where we were going :) Later that night we had an awesome lesson with Alyssa! She read the Book of Mormon and only read till 1 Nephi 3 but she said she felt a good feeling and she felt like it was TRUE!!!!!!! SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!! she's so young but man is she in tune with the spirit!!! She said she wants to be Mormon! Somehow we also taught Word of Wisdom and tons of other things!! Hahaha She had so many questions that just tied together!!! She's a gem!!!
Thursdays....I swear the most uneventful days of my mission....we tracted...planned...I promise to make them eventful from this week forward that way I have something to write Hahaha Friday!!! our Bishop texted us and told us he had a family of 5 that want to take the lessons and want to be baptized...at first we were stoked then I opened my planner and realized it was APRIL FOOLS DAY!!!!! Bishop Towns is so funny!!!! We had a great Friday though! We met with Kerry and as we were teaching her she said "one thing on my bucket list is to get baptized"!!!! We were like SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!! We told her that's what we wanted to help her to do!! So we're hoping to have a baptism soon!!! Even her husband who isn't very religious really liked church and liked Elder's Quorum (i was shocked at the latter Hahahahah) She has such great faith and said that our church feels like Home!!! SO excited for her to prepare for baptism!!! We had dinner with an Awesome member family and we had a sweet lesson!! We handed the whole family Restoration Pamplets and we each took turns teaching a point!! THE SPIRIT WAS INTENSE {inside joke sidenote for Cambria: "like camping"} We committed them to take the point they described and teach it to a friend they were excited to do it and invited us back to do the Plan of Salvation the same way!!!!!! It was so cool!!! After we visited a member and their 4 year old daughter Levi...super cute name btw was so excited for us to come!! She told her mom "My hair has to be perfect the missionaries are important. Like the most important on earth" OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!! So cute!!!!!!!!! We taught her the plan of salvation and she wanted us to sing Families Can Be Together Forever!! I almost cried :) it was so cute!!!! Saturday was GENERAL CONFERENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This week was so good!!!! We are doing so good!!!
Hope you all have an awesome week!!!
Love you,
Sister Peterson
