Still in El Monte

Last week went well. I didn't get transferred, so I'm still in El Monte. The new investigator's name is Carlos Conales he is in his 50's, I haven't met a wife, he does have kids, but not living with him. Nothing exciting happened last week. Everything is still moving forward. President keeps saying that they are going to take away the cars in this mission to see if it will help with the work. I don't know when it is going to happen, he was been saying that for a few months know.  Thanks for the love and support

Better week

Last week went better. We haven't heard much from Manny but he seems to be doing better. We got a referral a set of Spanish elders and started teaching him. This week was still slow but felt more productive. The stake I'm in had stake conference yesterday it was really good.

This is the last week of the transfer, I may or may not get transferred. If not this one then most likely the next one. This week will be a good week. Thanks for the love and support.

to Dad:

I'm glad that you enjoyed the brownies, I have a card a meant to send, but the slot for mail at my apartment complex is to small and I haven't had time to go to the post office. 

I hope you enjoy California, it has been getting hotter. I love and miss you.

Love,

Long weeks means long letter

Last week was a long week. Lessons with investigators canceled, and investigator died on Sunday...She is the sister of Manny who was baptized in February. She was in a car accident on Saturday, in a coma then life support. Sunday they let her go. Manny is coping well. We asked a member of the YSA ward to contact him becasue he would do better there than in the Orangewood ward.  Irene keeps canceling on us. So... last week sucked. I don't think things could get any worse "knock on wood." Thanks for the love and support

So the Relief Society President has her own little brownie business and she sends brownies to the missionaries  families for Father's Day. She makes different flavors, so I'm sending my favorite caramel toffee. So I hope you like them. I also bought a card before I knew about that so Dad gets brownies and a card.

short letter

Last week was a slow week. We did find out were Mirella went, she moved to Whittier California. Still figuring things out about what to do. So other than that nothing really happened last week. This week should go better. Sorry for the short letter.

Another good week

This week was kind of crazy, we started teaching a couple of new investigators, the senior couple missionaries in our ward arrived, and one investigator dropped of the face of the planet... Mirella had been taught for at least six months over the course of that time, drama happened, more drama happened, then no one knew where she went. We have a general idea where she is, but it is outside of the mission.  Other than that it was a good week. Thanks for the love and support.

Kersten wants everyone to know she got her own email☺

 

I'm sending you 20 bucks to buy a memory card. I realize it may be more expensive than that, but HELLO I sent you 10 for your birthday too lol! But if you really can't get one with just 20 I demand that you let me know and I will send more. I'm serious Jake, this is important. I wouldn't demand these things if I didn't love you very much.

It was fun talking to you Sunday! I know you are such a fabulous missionary and that the Lord is mindful of you!

Always remember you're my favorite brother!!!!! I sent  you that picture of me sharing my special blanket with you so you'll remember that :)

Loves,
Kersten

 

 

I already used your 10 dollars to get a frozen yogurt and jamaba juice, so thanks. You should know I am not a big camera person, even with a memory card I still might not take many pictures. I will try just for you.

Love

Elder Peterson.

P.S. I am your only brother.

Staying Possitive

 

Last week was a productive week. We kept busy teaching investigators and recent converts. We had an investigator drop us, he told us that the Mormon thing wasn't for him. maybe someday in the future another set of missionaries will find him and he will be ready. We started teaching a new investigator. The next six weeks should be good and productive. Thanks for the love and support.
