18 Days

Hey, 

So you've probably heard about that tropical depression storm that hit Texas and Oklahoma. Well that moved east and then north of that, and we've been under flash flood warnings. It rained all day Wednesday, then on Thursday, Friday, and especially Saturday. Thankfully, Wednesday was our P-day and we enjoyed going to the temple in Columbus, and throughout the week we stayed busy with just enough appointments, meetings, and other things to do that kept us inside. Lucky us! It really did rain a ton though, and we noticed that there's part of the carpet in our bedroom that's sopping wet, because we're in a basement apartment in the corner of the building. We should probably call maintenance about that!

One thing that's keeping us busy is now we are using our planner and Area Book (all the teaching records of people in this area that we keep) on the digital app on our iPads. So we had ANOTHER training meeting, and now we have time set aside each day where we just input all of our records for the next two weeks. That's mostly what I'm doing until I go home, haha. 

We have a new investigator who is really promising. A couple weeks ago with our mini missionary, we were walking along the sidewalk when I felt like I should stop and at least give this lady our card. Normally I would've just kept walking, because she was busy with a garage sale and was with a group of people. But it turns out that Jenny, the woman we talked to, is super interested to know what we believe. We finally came back this past Saturday for an appointment, and answered a lot of questions she had. She had read through the Restoration pamphlet and loved it all. She's really concerned about how to best raise her family in this world, and wants to come to church next week. Wow. Talk about a miracle! She's really seeking for the truth and we are excited to meet with her again on Thursday. 

Have a great week!

Love, 

Sister Petersen

Pictures: A pretty field after the rain cleared up. Also a sign that's in the parking lot of a church building across the street from us. We should have this sign at our church parking lots too.
