Day 314

But this week was really good! This week was transfers so I took Elder Coleman to Winnipeg, oh did I tell you that I have the capacity to get mail every week? not that I expect anything, I am super terrible at sending letters. Anyway, I took Elder Coleman to transfers, I told him I knew how to get there and he was still super paranoid, he had the map out and it annoying because I said I knew how. So I pretended like I was lost and had no Idea were we were going or were we were. Elder stevens was in on it too so when He called Elder Stevens, He said he had no Idea how to get there from where we were. He got pretty worried that we were going to miss the meeting and all that jazz, the joke is on him though because I knew how. I told him I knew how about 3/4 of the way there and then he relaxed. So the beginning of our week was filled with saying goodbye to people an street contacting

After I got my new companion, Elder Mattie, we got back and played basketball like we always do on thursday evenings, We don't get a lot of proselyting during it, but we do get to run around and maybe show people that we aren't that weird.

Later in the week we got to help a guy named justin with planting his garden, he bought us lunch and wanted to know what we believe, he had heard lots and seems pretty interested. I don't know how open he is to converting, but if he continues to meet with us and read The Book of Mormon, he will figure it out.

then on Friday we got to go to a Steinbach event "The pick up and walk" we just put on yellow shirts and walk around during the morning and pick up garbage. It was fun, but they just put us in our own group so the proselyting aspect wasn't as good as I would have liked, but even so, we got out and served. Good deal.

Lastly, I've decided to memorize a scripture per day. It's pretty fun, but also pretty hard. I've gotten four memorized so far, and tomorrow is number five. I've decided to start with all the scripture mastery, and if I keep it up the rest of my mission, I'll have all those, and three hundred other scriptures memorized. Sounds impressive I know, but right now I've just got four. You and who ever else are welcome to join me in it since I'm not too far along now. If I spend a good hard fifteen minutes on it, it works out pretty well and I've pretty much got it down. Today I memorized Genesis 1:26-27

Really good week, the work is moving forward in steinbach, It's a good place and the people here are truly good. People seem to care about each other and are friendly, for the most part. Sometimes people want to bash but oh well.

Have a great week, stay out of trouble and remember who you are!

Love Elder Peterson
