Well Done
Elder Peterson has served the Lord diligently and with his whole heart for the last two years. He has brought many people closer to Christ, and has given countless families the chance to be together forever. There is no telling how many lives he has changed, or how many future generations will be blessed due to his service.
We are all so very proud of him. I have no doubt that, at the last day, our Heavenly Father will turn to him and say, "Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.." (Matthew 25:23)
And now, we just have the hang in there a few more days until he gets to come home!

Guess who's on Facebook
Very recently the Missionaries were given permission to use Facebook as a tool to help them reach more people who might be interested in the church. The other day Daniel invited Katie to join in on one of his discussions with an investigator. Somehow my Dad was lucky enough to get a copy of that discussion and sent it to me! It is a pretty awesome thing to get to hear both your little brother and sister talking about the gospel like this. Oh, and just FYI, to protect the investigator's privacy I've deleted his pic and his last name. Here's what Dad sent me...
I'm pretty jealous that Kates got to be 'the member' in this discussion with an investigator and watch Daniel do his thing... what an awesome way to use FB. Pretty neat to watch both of the babies (That's Katie and Daniel in our family) share their testimonies and experiences of the gospel... quite a blessing.

So today we wanted to talk about prophets. And how God has given us prophets all throughout the Bible and even today!
- Elder Daniel Peterson
Hahaha, that sounds like you know that a prophet is to me! That's exactly right!
A prophet is there to lead and guide us towards Christ. - Katie Peterson
We could start with when we were given the commandment through the prophet not to drink or smoke! I know for sure if we werent given that revelation I would've fallen into the wrong crowd in high school, but Luis raises a good question, elders? - Elder Daniel Peterson
This is where prayer comes in!
So you have a copy of the Book of Mormon right? - Elder Daniel Peterson
Alright, well we are going to challenge you to read on your own and pray about it
Because as you pray about the Book of Mormon you will know if Joseph Smith truly was a prophet because that is one of his fruits!Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon by the power and gift of God. So we can know if that is true if we read and pray about it.So will you read the introduction of the Book of Mormon tonight and pray about it? - Elder Daniel Peterson
Perfect!
I promise that as you read and as you pray, you will come to know for yourself that the Book of Mormon is the word of God, another testament of Jesus Christ.Katie, How did you come to know the Book of Mormon was true and how did that answer come? - Katie Peterson
Luis, as a 19 yr old who is JUST NOW beginning to gain a true desire to know the truth, I promise you, even just the intro to the Book of Mormon that it will give a feeling of understanding, its the puzzle piece thats been missing
- Elder Daniel Peterson
What she said is true! The Book of Mormon is the puzzle piece that God gave us to find His one true church.
- Katie Peterson
I grew up in the church but always kind of wanted to do my own thing. In straightening out some kinks in my past my bishop asked me to start reading the Book of Mormon, in the past month I can testify I have felt more piece and love from my Savior, a true relationship being built. Just by reading! It truly is amazing, I've gained so many answers to questions I didn't even know I had!
- Elder Bradley Jason Karl
Luis! i know were all kinda throwing down heavy testimony BUT i know that Katie and Elder Peterson are speaking the truth. For me it took a while to fully get my answer BUT i promise you the answer will come As you ask in Faith your answer will be given to you
Luis
I just have so many questions not only about the book of Mormon but in religion itself, see I've grew up changing from one religion to another:/ and have many concerns about how the bible has been translated in so many religions.and it's true only in faith will they be answered but right now in having some trouble with wanting to know what is true idk if I make sense hahah
- Elder Daniel Peterson
Haha no, you're good!
That's why we wanna meet with you some time so we can help answer some of those questionsThink we could meet tomorrow night for about 15 minutes or so at the Institute building? - Katie Peterson
Luis I STRONGLY encourage you to meet with them whenever you can! These guys will answer all those questions you have, and as I'm sure you know, this is all much easier face to face than through facebook haha
- Elder Daniel Peterson
Perfect! Well we will let you get to reading tonight. We will call you or text you tomorrow some time that night and see when your free
