Hello everyone!!
So this past week we had a blizzard in Formosa!! Not really, but
it did get cold REAL fast!! The week before we enjoyed sunny skies and 90
degrees but then Tuesday morning we woke up and it was 35 degrees... so we
practically were dying this whole week, not of heat exhaustion, but of hypothermia...
That’s a new one... But it was fun! No
one wanted to talk to us! And we also didn’t have a heater and we don’t have
hot water, so that big water tank on top of our house was nice and ice cold for
us waking up and showering every morning :) We have turned to showering out of
buckets just so we could have warm water that we heated up on the stove top....
But we managed and we are still alive and frost bite free! Luckily when we went
out to Nomqom they all had campfires going so we got to get all nice and warm!!
We didn’t see much else this week! Like I said no one wanted to leave their beds
so everyone told us to just go away and leave them alone... so it was an
alright week! Luckily we always had milk and chocolate in the pension waiting
for us every time we got back! And the people we did talk to have been making
some amazing progress!! So hopefully we will be seeing a lot of success these
next couple of weeks!!
Not much else has gone on this week! Only just the cold and more cold... but we
still manage to have the time of our lives down here! Even if it means almost pushing your comp in
the zanja (ditch) every know and them ;)
But have a good week! Miss you all! I won’t be writing
until next Tuesday as next week are transfers! So I’ll be writing you all then!
and Mom and Dad I’ll be skyping you Sunday for mother’s day:)

Hello fam,
Just to get skype out of the way...
We have stake conference and transfers this next week, so it’s
going to be a little hectic and the only time we see fit is around like 5-7
which I understand is right when church starts, it’s like 12-2 your time or something
like that... 1-3... I know its inconvenient but we are having a crazy week this
week with the area 70 coming, stake conference, and transfers, so I’m sorry if
its inconvenient for you guys!! Its crazy cause I called you guys yesterday and
now it’s already that time again... so time is flying I guess.
Glad to see things are going really well for you guys back
home!! Staying busy I assume? Just tell Kirstin to stop flirting with the
missionaries in the ward.... But will the house be completely different when I
get home or will you guys even still be living there???
This week was alright...
It dropped down to like 35 degrees so we died of hypothermia....
especially since we didn’t have a heater until Friday and we still don’t have
warm water… so all the water in the water tank above our house is almost frozen
just in time for our shower time in the morning:) But I also didn’t have any
cold weather gear so I did have to be disobedient and wear my Oregon sweatshirt
out working, luckily I just threw on the black rain coat to cover up my disobedience....
It was also hard to get lessons since no one wanted to leave
their beds, but luckily out in Nomqom we got to have all our charlas (lessons)
next to campfires to keep us warm! But
we don’t have any baptisms scheduled for the near future... so we will see!! But we are super excited that one of our
investigators who is an evegelico pastor told us that he prayed and knew that
the book of Mormon was true! so after 2 months, now his progress is shooting
through the roof!
But all is well right now!! Things are tranquilo and Elder Sears
and I are starting to get scared it might be our last week together... I’m
still only eating rice and noodles and sometimes meat... we have been splurging
to get some peppers and onions thrown in there!!
But besides the cold I’m fine! All is well and I look forward to calling you
Sunday! I know mom will be waiting by the computer all day so if there’s a
change in plans she will already be there ready to talk!
Have a great week!
Elder Peters
