Waste and Wear Out Your Life

HAPPY DAUGHTERS DAY!!!

Cool! Yesterday was Daughters Day for our family & "Dia del Nino" [Children's Day] in Argentina. We didn´t even plan that! haha! But, they also have a holiday for just about everything here. My companion and I made heart shaped cookies to celebrate. Keeping the Peterson tradition alive... Argentina style.

We always invite the investigator to say the closing prayer in lessons. Fabricio has had a TON of lessons so he totally knows the drill. This week we had our first lesson with him as a member. When we asked if he or his wife wanted to say the closing prayer he put his hands up and was like, "Ya me bautice" or "I´m baptized now!" hahaha! They have some friends and family they are going to bring to the next lesson so maybe we will have someone to say the prayer then. :)

This week we went to visit a family menos activo [less active] and, I´m not gonna lie, I walked away from their house super sad. They told us that they just didn´t want the responsibilities that come with church attendance or to DO anything: Scripture study, FHE, church, nothing. The mom felt like the church requires too much. Just that morning I was reading the talk from Pres. Uchtdorf, Come Join with Us. 

He says, "We do not require anything, but the Lord asks that we consecrate all." And it reminds me of a quote from Joseph Smith that says, "A religion that does not require the sacrifice of all things, never has the power sufficient to produce the faith necessary unto life and salvation."

I wish I could quote that whole talk for you because it is SO GOOD. So maybe you can read it this week!!! Ya? 

And also, we are focusing on family history a ton these days. I know that everyone feels like there isn´t missionary work to do in Utah... but there is! Also, don´t forget that family history is the same work= Missionary work for the other side!

D&C 123:13, "Therefore, that we should waste and wear out our lives in bringing to light all hidden things of darkness, wherein we know them." Waste and wear out your life sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ! We are so blessed to have it!!!! 

Love you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

I miss you tons

I'm so grateful for you guys

Mucho amor,
