This last week was great! Well half great, the first part of it I was sick with a fever and major coughing, but since Tuesday my condition has been improving.
We were able to meet with awesome people and find a few cool people as well.
I guess since this is my last letter I will give my overall thoughts on a mission as a whole.
A mission is an amazing opportunity to serve the Lord and to develop a better understanding of the gospel and the church. A mission is designed to be challenging, and because of this there are hard things that we need to go through to improve. It's a lot like how metal is hardened in the furnace.
I personally had a great mission and I feel like I learned a lot from it.
If anyone is reading this and considering a mission, I would encourage them to give it some serious prayer and meditation, and then if it feels right for you, go.
LOVE YOU ALL!!!! I can't wait to see you all soon!
Love,

May 4th, 2015 | Last full Week!
Well this week was really good, on Monday after emailing we Went and played soccer with a bunch of the missionaries, it was a blast!
we also had a few pretty cool experiences this last week. We were really trying to have all of our lessons be member present lessons and we did pretty well. on one of the lessons we had Adam Lindquist (who was a missionary in my mission just a few months ago) come with on the teach and we were able to commit Rickard (the investigator) to baptism on the 30th of May.
Also some not so fun news, on Friday I got super sick and I haven't been able to sleep well the past two nights. It is some sort of virus. We think that when one of our AP's came on splits he got the other Elders sick and now I have it. (my companion is still unafflicted) not so fun, but not the worst thing. I am super happy though.
This Thursday was Valborg which is some holiday where people burn huge piles of wood to "drive the Winter witches away" it's a huge gathering and it was really fun to be in a place where there are a lot of other missionaries.
hmmm other than that I am really excited to Skpe this Sunday! We will be skyping at around 6pm our time. so be ready!
Love,
Elder Peterson
