This week we got to give the first baptismal invitation, but it didn't go perfect. It was with Stacy and his wife Tammy. He is so ready, but Tammy is not there yet. Ans he won't unless she does as well. When we invited them they said let us come to church and then they will decide, but only Stacy came. It really shows who wants to progress it will all work out though. We did a ton of biking this week to try to find new people. We found a new person his name is Joseph he has a ton of questions and I can't wait to teach him.
On Tuesday I had an exchange with Elder Garder in his area. We meet with one of his people and we had it planned around the book of Mormon. It didn't work like that he didn't want to hear about it. I told him to drop him when we left, but I don't think they will. We did tons of tracting and we got in the old trick book and hooked a few people in. Everyone we talked to was catholic, so we would ask about Christ's resurrection. Then we would ask " do you think Christ only taught the people of Jerusalem?" And they would say probably not. And BOOM the Book of Mormon. It was super fun and we had a great time.
This week showed me that when you are willing to talk to everyone you will be blessed. You never know who is prepared until you talk to them. I invite y'all to talk to someone new this week and to talk about something Christ centered. I know if you so you will have a bigger desire to grow in the gospel and a greater love for everyone around you.
Love y'all
Elder Peterson
