It was a good week.

Glenn is doing great.  He got past his rough spot just fine.  He is excited to be baptized.  Hopefully this Sunday.  He has been staying away from coffee and cigarettes.  He is basically ready he just needs to get interviewed one last time to see if he is ready.  It will happen soon.

Teresa is doing great.  She is excited to start on her family history and get to the temple.  We showed her a tithing slip so she could start paying her tithing.  Her aunt is going to take awhile to get baptize. We don't want to push so we are kind of teaching her indirectly by teaching Teresa.

This is about if for my week. Nothing to exciting happened. 
Thank you for the love and support

We had a very good week, but it was also really hot.

Teresa's baptism went great.  Her family came down from Idaho and stayed the weekend with her.  I think having her brother baptize her was better than one of us doing it or another member.  We also confirmed her the same day, so her brother could do it.  The spirit was strong there.  We are going to start teaching her aunt that lives in the same house. It might take longer with her but she expressed a desire to meet with us.  That should go well.

A non member friend of a family in our ward came to church on Sunday his name is Brandon.  He also has a desire to meet with us.  We will be going over sometime this week.

We had a hard time getting in with others.  Glenn hit a rough patch.  Don't know why or what , but he didn't come to church.  We are going to try and help him get through it.

Thanks for all your love and support.

Last week was a good week for us.

We meet with Teresa a few times this week.  She is doing well.  We finished the lessons with her, she understood all of it.  She is going to get baptized this Sunday.  She is ready and the Lord really prepared her.  Her brother is coming to baptize her.

Glenn is doing great.  The plan is for him to be baptized on the 21st.  Glenn didn't share is testimony because he felt like he should bear it at his baptism, when his friends are there.  He is doing goos with overcoming his addictions.  He just needs to keep it up.

That was really if for our week, we just keep on working.  Nothing to exciting happened to us Thanks for the love and support.

pictures from a member

Dear Peterson family,

Elder Peterson has a brand new companion from Thailand as I'm sure you are aware.  Elder Phoomphuang is working hard on his English but you can tell they are a great team.  Elder Peterson is a diligent missionary with a ready smile. They were in our home last Sunday for dinner.  We sure do appreciate these great missionaries who serve in our area.  Thank you for raising such a great son!

This week we meet with Teresa twice, we introduced her to the Book of Mormon and we taught her the Plan of Salvation.  She had started to read the Book of Mormon.  She is excited to get baptized.  She came to church and she enjoyed it.  Her grandma sat in on the lessons but didn't participate and isn't really interested.

We also saw Glenn, he had a busy week so it was hard to meet with him.  He has been having a stressful week so he asked for a blessing and we read a few scriptures about enduring and putting your trust in the Lord.  He told us he wants to bear his testimony this Sunday, he just doesn't like to talking in front of groups.  We challenged him to do it.

That's about it for my week. Thanks for the love and support

We had a really good week last week.

So my trainee name is Elder Phoomphuang. He is from Thailand, he was in the MTC for two months learning English, and he is still learning so it makes communicating a little difficult.

Glenn is still doing good he went over and taught him and Kenny the Restoration.  Kenny remember most of it, he wants to get baptized, but he needs to wait until he gets off parole.  The missionaries will keep going over until the.  Glenn made it to church but Kenny couldn't.
We started teaching Teresa, her mom and brother are members and live in Idaho.  She wants to gets baptized.  She just came out of no where.  Her brother called us and told us about her, so we went over to her house and taught her the Restoration.

That's about it for my week.  Thanks for the love and support.

Train a new missionary

It was a good week. I am still in Hacienda Heights 2nd. Elder
Christensen got transferred. I was called to train a new missionary. I
am a little nervous about it.  They fly in on Tuesday, so I will get
my companion then.

We continue to meet with the Ortiz and getting them coming back to
church. We mostly read the Book of Mormon with them. We weren't able
to meet with Glenn this week but we were able to keep in contact with
him, it did make it to church. Glenn told us that Richard got kicked
out, he doesn't know why. But on the plus side, another guy moved in
named Kenny. I haven't met him yet, but his family was baptized and he
wants to come to church and get baptized so we are excited about that.

That's about it for my week. It was a boring week. Thanks for the love
and support.
