hello there.
i just wanted to begin my letter with a favor....could i get some MORE hump day cards? HELLO! as weekly zone class ended a few elders had gathered around the mail stack and said "elder peterson, come here.... what happened?!" to my suprise i found 31 hump day cards anxiously awaiting. so i don't have any support from home out here, i would appreciate a letter or at least a postcard. yeah ......that'd be great.
This week was a good one. we found...another person that is going to get baptized in may. what a blessing. i don't know why we have been so blessed. but we aren't working hard enough, we need a lot more, we kinda got a wake up call from the president this week and he made a few schedule changes to show the urgency we need to have. to finish a little about rosa, as we entered the water she went into a nervous reck and began praying like an evangelico (if you dont know what that means ask jb or andrew) and i was cracking up inside. as i told her that i needed to baptized her and said ready? she flung herself backwards to get baptized and as she came up out of the water she was coughing up water and wiping it away from her face, it was really something. oh yeah i just wanted to give a shout out to all those that wrote me hump day cards and grandma winda's weekly letter and parker, mckenzie and macey who have birthdays this month. grandma, i am thoroughly enjoying the stephens hot cocoa with homemade marshmallows you sent me. they are fantastic, they are the best!
funny story, as we were contacting this one guy, i noticed that he had a lump on his forearm about the size of the baseball. i asked him what it was and he said something in spanish that i didn't understand, i think it was a tumor, but he then went on and said "but i dont think it's that, i have always said it's my twin brother" yes.......the lump.....was my twin.
on a more serious note, i just wanted to thank you all for your prayers i have felt them and i think i have more support than any other missionary in the world. my mission president really helped me realize how serious our call is this week and set some new rules and i just wanted to inform you guys so you don't send music that is forbidden. if you wish to send me a cd, it needs to be pure hymns or primary songs and nothing changed from the hymn, like guitar or drums.
i just wanted you guys to know i love you so much and thanks for making me laugh in your emails and lifting and inspiring me, i don't know what i would do without you. you are in my prayers daily.

what a week!
!wow i am worn out. general conference was unreal. but let's start from the beginning shall we? ok well my companion and i get along quite well actually and i am laughing a lot more cause he's a goob. he loves trying to speak english, in fact, he sat in with the english speakers to hear general conference. he is always saying things that make me laugh, it's fun. for example, we went to a pharmacy to buy some stuff and as we were leaving he saw a scale that measured your height and weight and other stuff so he took it for a whirl. the pharmacy lady and i were both watching to see the results pop up and when they did he let out a sigh...."i'm faught" in his latino accent. the pharmacy lady busted out laughing and so did i, i just dropped my head and shook it ha ha. as we passed by one of the references of the open house, they willingly let us in and as we entered their house to our surprise there were like 7 people sitting there and it was a family! we were celebrating as you can imagine. they all were willing to listen to us. it turns out that one was an inactive member and the others were all non members and only one went to the open house, a young girl. as we taught them the restoration and explained how the authority is here again to recieve a baptism, all four of the kids accepted a date to be baptized while the mothers were a little skeptic but liked what they heard. they agreed to sit in on every lesson and give their support. we visited them a second time last night and it looks like we are going to have 4 baptisms the 3rd of may! it was incredible! that whole week i was praying for help to recognize the spirit more and Heavenly Father answered my prayers. i had many more experiences that week.
i'd just like to thank the fam and friends for the awesome mail i have been receiving. first i wanted to let jim and adam know that i sent them letters about 2 weeks ago so they should be arriving. it was AWESOME TO HEAR ABOUT ADAM! grandma winda is always faithful to keep me up to speed with the fam thanks grandma i love your letters. also thanks to mumsey and poppy for the letters and cd i love it. thanks to noelle, jenny, sarah, grandma and grandpa peterson, zac, andrew, jenna, kenz, shane and everyone else who has sent me letters. the elders of my zone are jealous enough! i have little time so to sign off i just wanted to thank you mom dad london and marcus for the letters and for what you said. especially thanks mom for your letter you sent too late last week, it gave me a lot of comfort.
i can't believe i almost forgot to tell you that rosa got baptized!!!! she got baptized in between conference sessions on sunday and it was INCREDIBLE! i will write more next week but it was really funny too...not to leave you hanging or anything. i loved elder scotts talk, man does he speak with the spirit or what? i loved elder holland's and elder pearson's about faith and many more. they were all incredible. well i will talk more next week but keep going strong. i love you all.

fam,
hows it goin????????? sounds like the costa rica trip was EXCELENTE! the zip lines and the waterfalls... i talked to my buddy in my zone and he told me that there are hundreds of waterfalls there. he loves it there and talked it up a lot. well i don't have a lot to say this week so i'll keep it short as well. yesterday there were transfers and my companion left. it was hard. we had lots of success together and just enjoyed the mission like crazy. i have a new companion from columbia. he was the companion of one of my friends with whom i began the mission, elder marshall. his name is elder bolaños and he seems like a real nice guy. i'm excited cause i know i am going to learn a ton from him and they had a lot of success where they were so we will combine our melons and see what we can do. sad news, jose-the man we have been teaching with one leg, didn't go to church yesterday and we visited him later and we were really demanding and direct in our message and told him NOW is the time to act and repent, if you do, you'll get blessings beyond your fondest dreams, but you need to DO IT. he had a lot of excuses why he couldn't continue or go to church more. we talked for about an hour and we had one of his member friends (inactive) helping us out a lot and i know her testimony is getting stronger by helping us. she used to be a missionary and she inactivated for some reason but she has been helping us with him. she is going to visit him this week and try to talk to him more but for now we are leaving jose for a time. i hope he can get his views in line with those of God so he can have more blessings in his life. it was really hard to experience that yesterday but i know that when one door closes another opens. one thing that makes me really happy is that my prayers are improving a lot. i need a ton of help from Heavenly Father and i know he has been helping me but my prayers have been more fervent. sometimes we fall into a routine and forget that we are actually talking to God, but when i pray better i feel so good and i know he is listening. it was so great to hear from grandma about adam. i am so glad he is doing so great. the book of mormon has so much power and we all need to keep reading it. i wanted to thank jim also for the awesome letter he wrote me. keep it up. tell bryce i got his package and it was incredible. ok well i gotta go, lots of work to do and lots of miracles to be a part of. thanks for your prayers and letters, packages, and everything else!!! i don't know what i would do without the support i have. i love you all!

why is my family so great?
first thanks a ton for the letters and secondly, the package! ha ha it was awesome! i don't know why but i always get so excited when i see those fruity pebbles. my zone leader said "SAVE ME A BOWL!". but even better than the sugar were the letters and videos. i loved your letters and it's something that i'll always have so thanks a lot. i loved thinking back on some awesome memories. i have shown a few people the videos you guys sent and they were laughing pretty hard. i loved the video of you guys dancing it was a keeper! and floyd's message made me laugh pretty hard. that was nice of dr j to send me some hormonies to help me with the bobobpsy. i think my comp needs them more than me cause he was zonked out in church yesterday! you guys have gotta hear the chileans and how they sing church hymns, you would laugh. it's so slow, my companion plays the piano and he plays good, normal speed, and they are all lost and it's a disaster, so he has to slow it down like half the speed of normal. i have developed lots of patience ha ha. this week we were amazingly blessed again. we have really been low on people to teach and people progressing. we decided to do some extra things. as we left the house and prayed for extra help we went to visit michelle and she wasn't there. so elder mangels asked if her grandma was there. she hobbled out of her room(she is awesome and hilarious) and said hi and we asked if we could share a message with her and she said "claro que si" so we sat down and started talking about baptism and she was really open and we said "would you like to get baptized?" she again said "claro que sí". so we put a date and she is gonna get baptized. i don't think it could've been easier. all we have to do is ask the Lord for help and bam he is there. as we went to the next appt with her we began with a song and she can't read too well so she said i'll just follow. she had no idea what the words were so when we sang a long word like "evangelio" she would shout the last part of the word like "da da da da GELIO!" and we had to stop. we didn't even make it to the second line and my comp and i and michelle's aunt were cracking up! we had to not sing that appt. it was so funny. i still am holding back ridiculous laughter everytime we go there and i can't look at my companion. the grandma is rosa and is just hilarious and super strong. toady we made the cookies you sent me at marta and ivonne's house. they were heavenly and they love them as well. well i am running short on time as always and i have more emails to write but thanks so much for your love and support. i don't believe there is a missionary in the field with more support than me. pray for jose. we have lots of plans so that he can make it to church this week. i love you mom dad london marcus and fam.

how is life? it sounds like you have seen some amazing things like apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth. what a coincidence cause today we had the priviledge to hear from elder jay jensen of the seventy and it was amazing!!!!! i loved it and he knows how to speak and captivate his audience i'll tell ya. few times have i been so glued to a talk. i think it was so awesome cause i'm in the mission and everything he said he could apply to us personally as missionaries. he also is 100% fluent in spanish which suprised me, it was great. a few things he said that i liked were "you teach what you are" a little of what you said dad. also he said "2/3 of our message is non verbal, we are the message, its not what we say" i loved that. he was hilarious and had us laughing quite a bit. he is just way down to earth and i've heard that he has memorized the book of mormon. go figure, so this week was awesome! ivonne was baptized, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. and her brother who just turned 20 and has a girlfriend and a new baby girl, came to her baptism. he is really nice so hopefully the miracles continue. they would have to get married but i see nothing that impedes them. it was sad to hear about grandpa but i'll keep him in my prayers. i am constantly praying for family members...how are they all doin? progressing?
i can't even imagine how incredible it was to have pres. packer and elder hales speaking to you guys. that is really amazing. it's such a big deal when we hear from a seventy here and i can't even imagine an apostle. so here it's cooling down, in the night at least and we have seen a few less spiders so that's always good. our ward is so strong and i feel so blessed to have the bishop we do. i think the ward likes him so much cause he knows how to have fun! he isn't uptight or too serious, well he knows when to be and when not to be. and he just brings a lot of energy to everyone. we are going to do a service in marta's house this saturday and he wanted to play soccer after. we said that as missionaries we always play in the morning at 6 and that they should come play with us. he challenged us and said BRING IT ON and so we are gonna play with the young men and the bishop. that's the type of guy he is and he is always having a barbeque on saturdays at noon with different ward families and just takes care of his sheep. one thing i like that elder jensen said is that he decided to do somethings while he was on his mission, these included: praying daily and nightly, reading every day from the scriptures, paying his tithing, and living worthy of a temple recommend. he decided to do these things for the rest of his life and has done it ever since. i know it's the little things like that that are gonna keep us active, strong, and blessed. well i gotta go i'm running out of time, tell my cousins i wanna hear from them more! and my aunts and unks, they can always shoot me an email or dear elder. i love you mom and dad marcus and london. keep up the good work and never be afraid what man can do, only what God can do. live with an eternal perspective.

hows the fam fam?
so emiliana was baptized yesterday! it was an awesome experience because after she was baptized her family bore their testimonies and you could feel the spirit strongly and when her husband bore his i was so happy because he talked about how now they can be sealed together as a family in the temple. i realized that it wasn't just a baptism, it was much more, through the Lord i am able to help change lives here. some other crazy news......ivonne, martas daughter is progressing so fast that she is gonna get baptized this sunday! she is reading the book of mormon like crazy and understands it all. she has gone to a few activities and just loves everything. most crazy is that as we were teaching her and talking to her she was so excited about everything and she said "after someone gets baptized, how long do they have to wait till they can serve a mission?" we said a year. and then asked "why? do you want to serve a mission?!" she said "yes". i was like yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. that got me so excited! she hasn't even been baptized and already wants to serve a mission. i was pretty happy. but ya we still need to teach a ton so hopefully in a week you can hear good things. we struggled a little this week with finding people. we have been praying to find a family so we are gonna do all we can this week and i know we will be blessed. i just wanted to send a thanks to grandma winda and the update on adam. i have been praying daily for adam i was so so so so excited to hear good news about adam. thanks grandma. trevor crump sent me an awesome email and helped me to realize the things that are of real importance out here. president may is always pushing us harder and harder and i'm gonna give it my all again this week and i know that the Lord will help us out. when we are on the Lord's errand we are entitled to his help. dad i really liked what you said about being valiant in the pre earth life and now we need to be valiant here. it helped me to realized that there really aren't a lot of changes. we are just separated from the presence of God. when we think about it that way, it's not so much a life of changing, but staying faithful so that ONCE AGAIN we can live with him. we are the same, we just forgot how great it was before this life. i love you guys a lot and thanks so much for your prayers, i still need them ha ha. you are in mine. live like it's your last day!

hey!HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMORROW MARCUS
i'm so glad you guys loved the little package. ok well marta got baptized yesterday! it was awesome!!!!!! the saturday before we had a family night with the ward and we invited pres. and sis may to come and speak and it was awesome. we had a bunch of new people that the members brought to the activity so hopefully we can teach some of them. ok well keep in your prayers: totti claudia and bilma. i think they will be our next baptisms after emiliana on the 22nd.. she is good to go. ok well a funny story. yesterday my comp felt a little sick and felt like he had to spew the whole day but i was like, ya it's not that bad let's go and work the days almost over. so we continued to work and like and hour before we had to enter for the night we visited totti. she told us her aunt just died and she seemed ok but i know it was a rough day. so my comp began to talk and explain about the plan of salvation. she lives in some apartments that are open. like the stairs and hallways are outside. well we were talking to her outside her door and there was a balcony next to us and as my comp began to talk he said "just a sec" and went over to the balcony and spewed! he spewed like 4 times and totti and i were trying hard not to laugh. after 4 spews from the second floor, my comp returned with a smile cause he felt a lot better ha ha ha. we laughed quite a bit, i couldn't stop laughing. ok another random thought. i was eating my beloved pringles a couple nights ago when i looked at the pringle guy on the can and i noticed somethihng......it looks like DAD.. the moustache most of all. so i have decided on dad's grandpa name and it's pringles! isn't it perfect! and the kids will say it like pwingles. it's perfect if you guys don't agree i don't know what i'll do cause it's perfect. i got the package and it was full of love. i'm eating every bit of it. i love the cd you guys sent it's great. and the letters too especially napolean dynamite. just a heads up. keep sending me the small memory blue memory cards cause the other memory cards they are gigantic, i can't print fotos off cause they are too big. so don't buy more just send me them cause that's what i need to print off pics and send to people. also i wanted to give a shout out to adam, sheyenne, and chad whose birthdays are this month. ok well thanks for the letters they are great. i'm lovin the mission and i am so happy. after martas baptism i saw her walk into the bathroom soaking wet as a lady in the ward went in to help, along with marta´s daughter and they gave some screams of joy! marta was so nervous until she came up out of the water and she had a huge smile on her face. i don't know if i already read this quote toyou guys but ezra taft benson said: true happiness only comes by making others happy. so true isn't it. i love that quote. also a missionary shared a thought with me. he had the definition of a missionary written and shared it with me.

i'm so glad you guys loved the little package. ok well marta got baptized yesterday! it was awesome!!!!!! the saturday before we had a family night with the ward and we invited pres. and sis may to come and speak and it was awesome. we had a bunch of new people that the members brought to the activity so hopefully we can teach some of them. ok well keep in your prayers: totti claudia and bilma. i think they will be our next baptisms after emiliana on the 22nd.. she is good to go. ok well a funny story. yesterday my comp felt a little sick and felt like he had to spew the whole day but i was like, ya it's not that bad let's go and work the days almost over. so we continued to work and like and hour before we had to enter for the night we visited totti. she told us her aunt just died and she seemed ok but i know it was a rough day. so my comp began to talk and explain about the plan of salvation. she lives in some apartments that are open. like the stairs and hallways are outside. well we were talking to her outside her door and there was a balcony next to us and as my comp began to talk he said "just a sec" and went over to the balcony and spewed! he spewed like 4 times and totti and i were trying hard not to laugh. after 4 spews from the second floor, my comp returned with a smile cause he felt a lot better ha ha ha. we laughed quite a bit, i couldn't stop laughing. ok another random thought. i was eating my beloved pringles a couple nights ago when i looked at the pringle guy on the can and i noticed somethihng......it looks like DAD.. the moustache most of all. so i have decided on dad's grandpa name and it's pringles! isn't it perfect! and the kids will say it like pwingles. it's perfect if you guys don't agree i don't know what i'll do cause it's perfect. i got the package and it was full of love. i'm eating every bit of it. i love the cd you guys sent it's great. and the letters too especially napolean dynamite. just a heads up. keep sending me the small memory blue memory cards cause the other memory cards they are gigantic, i can't print fotos off cause they are too big. so don't buy more just send me them cause that's what i need to print off pics and send to people. also i wanted to give a shout out to adam, sheyenne, and chad whose birthdays are this month. ok well thanks for the letters they are great. i'm lovin the mission and i am so happy. after martas baptism i saw her walk into the bathroom soaking wet as a lady in the ward went in to help, along with marta´s daughter and they gave some screams of joy! marta was so nervous until she came up out of the water and she had a huge smile on her face. i don't know if i already read this quote toyou guys but ezra taft benson said: true happiness only comes by making others happy. so true isn't it. i love that quote. also a missionary shared a thought with me. he had the definition of a missionary written and shared it with me.
