November 11, 2013

To whom it may concern, and perhaps to some whom it may not concern.  

Well this week was good... and Hjalmar came to church yesterday!!! I am getting a new companion on Wednesday, and I am super excited because he was in the MTC with me. today we went to a castle for P-day which was cool but unfortunately I slipped by the lake and got my shoes and shins wet... so I was freezing for the rest of the day... we didn't get to go in because it was closed but it was cool nonetheless. I find it hard to believe that I am fast approaching my 6 month mark! Time goes by very fast.
On Wednesday I was on splits with Elder Krebs, due to an Elder getting lost on his way to a leadership meeting we had to escort him back to his area in Borås, but on the bright side we placed three Book of Mormons which was really cool.
I am doing great as always!   
Sincerely,
Elder Peterson

November 1, 2013

Whats up!!!!
Well sorry that this is a little late, we got caught in Göteborg because of a storm on P-day and our trains were canceled. Luckily we had spent the day with the elders from Skövda and there train wasn't canceled, so we took their train with them and then we took a bus from Skövda back to Trollhättan, by the time we got back we had hardly any time. 
This week has been good! I think that it rained every day, and it gets dark at about 4 in the afternoon, which is a little weird. It has also started getting rather cold. So to sum it up it has been cold dark and wet. That's OK though, I have decided to like it. After all I won't have weather like this after my mission.
We have still been meeting with Hjalmar. He didn't make his date to quit snus, but we hope that he will improve in the future.
We had a bunch of dinners with members this week which was super nice!
We also had a Halloween party which we called a "Höst fest" because the Swedish don't rally celebrate Halloween. It was great and Hjalmar came and painted faces. 
I am doing great!

Hey everyone!

Well this week has been good. On Saturday we went to a graveyard for all souls day. There were a ton of candles on the graves and I got some pretty cool pictures. 
I got to go on splits with Elder Marcus, one of our zone leaders, in Utby, it was really fun. 
We have started open church on Wednesday and Friday, we have not had anyone come yet but we are hopeful that there will be visits in the future.
While we were emailing a guy from our ward was at the church and he had his accordion with him, he let me play it! it wasn't pretty but it was a blast, I took a video, but I guess I can't send video over email, so the picture will have to do. Super fun, and I think I want one. haha. 
anyway the rest of the week went well, Hjalmar unfortunately has not quited snus yet, but we are working with him. 
I am doing great, it is still cold, wet and dark.
med kärlek
