Hermana Jessica Peterson's Mission Adventure: Crazy But Good!

That is my answer every time someone asks me how I am doing I think, "crazy but good!". Missionary life in one phrase!

This week has been insane! Transfers were Tuesday so I had to say goodbye to Hermana Acosta but I got to say hello to Hermana Walker. I love her!! So far we are getting along really well! She is from Holladay, Utah. She graduated in May and went to a semester at BYU before coming out. She has 6 siblings, 2 have already served and one more will serve while she is out here. She is so sweet! She also went to the Mexico MTC and was also shocked to hear we don't get to teach in Spanish. She is so persistent in her desire to learn Spanish and it has been really good for me, we are practicing still!

Our area got split so we lost half of our investigators so that was sad. I love love love the new sisters in our area though! They are so funny and they make my day! They are Sister Tolbert and Sister Overson (I will have to get a picture with them this week!). When they got here they went to their apartment they found out that it wasn't ready (they are white washing) so they came and stayed the night with us which was good because then I could tell them about all the people they were now in charge of. They have had quite the week, from not having an apartment to no desks to eating cereal out of a ladle. Doesn't white washing sound fun....haha! We also got the unfortunate news on Wednesday night that we will be sharing our car. The logistics of trying to come up with a schedule and figuring out how to waste the least time possible and how to still get everywhere we need to is very difficult to say the least but we are slowly but surely figuring it out! The even harder part is that they don't even live in their area, they live in the other ward! So ya, this week has been a lot of craziness and running around but it has been great!

We got to see Alison again this week (from the part member family) and she testified to us that she knows she needs to be baptized which was awesome but she still doesn't want to move on until she and her husband are in unity. We did commit Jessie to baptism though! We committed her to March 25th, we aren't sure if she will be ready by then but she will be ready soon! She also came to church again this week and loved it! We also got an amazing text this week from Sister Lincoln (a less active that we just decided to stop by one night and she happened to be there and happened to be praying to know what the right path was the night that we stopped!) telling us that next week she will be meeting with the bishop and will be at church!!! We couldn't be more excited for her! We actually found out last night when we were having dinner at the RS presidents house that she was a do not contact. The Lord works in mysterious ways!

Have a great week everyone!

Love you!

Hermana Peterson
