Elder Aaron Peterson: Week 23

My mission is going well. My companion and I are doing well and getting along great. We had recently been a little discouraged from the stinky things that passed the past couple of weeks, but we are doing great right now and working hard to help the Lord find his lost sheep here in Honduras. The interviews with President Klein and interdivisions with the Zls helped encourage us and get some great goals up. We've been really busy lately trying to teach four different classes every week on top of being missionaries. I've been teaching English classes. It's pretty difficult to do, but it's fun and I enjoy doing it. The noches de Hermanamiento are always fun. We're ready to finish up the last couple of weeks of this exchange strong! We hope to have 3 baptisms! It's amazing to see the progress of the people we teach in changing their lives as they exercise their faith in Jesus Christ and repentance. His example, teachings and atonement are the most wonderful gift we have in this life to defeat problems and turn guilt and sorrow into peace and happiness. He enables us to, as we trust in Him, to become the people we are meant to be- sons and daughters of God.

I got three packages this week! I loved the packages, especially the pictures! It made my birthday very special!

We went caroling to a rest home here. It brought back good memories :).
