It is crazy that it is October already. I don't really know where the month of September went. It's also weird to think that i'm half way done training my boy and i'll be out of this area next transfer. Our whole district is staying the same. I got released as District Leader after 6 months of being DL here in the same district and Elder Meservy will be taking over. He is a great elder and will do a great job. As for me, i get to take a 6 week break from leadership (aside from being a trainer) and President told me i'll be put back into a leadership position after this next transfer. In fact there is only one elder from our whole zone that is leaving and his companion will be training. We got our car back this week. it is good timing too because the tubes in E Taylor's bicycle wheels popped so we were walking long distances for a while there which i don't mind, it just takes a lot of time. Things with Carrie are going good. We attended a baptism with her over in Davenport and then she went to the RS general broadcast. She is also coming to General Conference this week and we'll be playing general conference bingo with her 2 kids haha. We also helped her take apart an old entertainment center and trash it so we've been keeping good contact with her and she loves the church! At the baptism all of the missionaries in our district sang "i like to look for rainbows" for a special musical number and it went great.
This last week for district meeting I had every missionary prepare a 10 minute talk on a different Christlike Attribute and that went well. All of them came up to me afterwards and said that the one they studied was one that they needed to work on. So between inspiration and the fact that if you study any of the attributes you realize you need to work on it, it was a really good meeting. We then had little ceasers for lunch and for dinner we had plans to eat with a member, but they ended up cancelling because their kids were feeling ill and they ended up bringing us over little ceasers pizza. So we had 3 pizzas in the fridge this week and a stomach ache to go with each. At church this week we also a had a student from some religions of the world class at college come to sacrament meeting. The ward welcomed her really well and Sis Ferguson and her son sat nex to her and fellowshipped her and then after the meeting E Taylor and I answered some of the questions that she had... both for school and personal questions. She was really impressed and might be coming back with her family next week for a session of general conference. Our second councilor in the bishopbric is moving to Germany on wednesday so he was released and a new brother was called. The mission prep class started this last saturday and we had 6/7 of the boys attend from our ward. That was great! They talked about their favorite missionaries in the scriptures and compared them to latter-day missionaries. It's an every other week class and we are going to be talking about the Abrahamic covenant next session. I know that this church is true! I love you all,

Dear Family,
It has been a really good week for us here. Carrie is still
progressing towards the end of October to be baptized. We are going to a
baptism over in Davenport with her on Saturday where she will also be
attending the general relief society broadcast with some members of the
ward. She was at church yesterday along with her 6 year old daughter
and things are going swimmingly. I haven't been here in the Rock Island
ward for 9 months yet, but by the time I leave it will be 9 months.
I've been here for a total of 7 right now. The mission prep class
hasn't officially started yet, they had a meeting with all of the sons
and parents after church last night and is starting up this week.
Sister McClellans son is attending, along with 4 or 5 other young men
which is great. We haven't had a missionary out of this ward in over a
year now. The class should be fun because we get to go in and role play
with them to help them practice their teaching skills. When we have
gone on splits with some of these young men, they haven't been the best
at relaying the message they are trying to, but when they share their
testimonies it is a powerful thing.
We also met 2 new investigators this week. Their names are Kossi
and Koudzo. They actually aren't related, but they are both from Togo,
Africa. They speak french and pretty good english. They were both
former investigators and had copies of the BoM in french. Kossi is a
really nice guy and he really likes to talk. Koudzo was a way sweet
experience. He has been living in the United States for 6 years now
saving up to bring his wife and 6 kids to America. He knows that the
book of Mormon is true and that Joseph Smith was a prophet. We invited
him to be baptized and he wants to wait for his family to be here. He
said he is going to have enough money by December which will be way
sweet. I'm not sure why missionaries stopped teaching him in the past,
but we found him again and set a time that we can go over to his
apartment every single week at the same time. We gave our first "church
presentation" this week. We learned all about how to give them while
at zone conference this past week. You basically just teach the first
lesson while going through different rooms of the church. We did it
with a part member family, the Neyens. When we bore testimony of and
related the experience of Joseph Smith the spirit was really strong. We
talked a little about temples and sister Neyens, who is the less-active
member wife, bore a powerful testimony of how she misses the temple and
wants to go back. I think it will be a real turning point for them.
They were also at church last week which was sweet because it was the
first time she has come in a really long time and the first time he has
come ever for the whole block.
We got a different missionary in Rock Island this week. Elder
Brandley had to go home because a past neck injury wasn't really healing
and was being too much of a burden so he went home to get it fixed and
then hopefully will be coming back out. They new elder is Elder Spain.
He has been out for 17 months and is a good missionary. Very musically
inclined. At zone conference we talked a lot about the harvest and the
laws of the harvest. If you compare it to a corn field, we are to go
out and pick the ripe corn that is ready to come off the stalk. We
don't hover around the ones that are almost ready or "getting there" but
move on let the missionary's after us harvest those souls. We also
aren't supposed to be planting seeds. The time for planting is past and
our call is to harvest. Planting seeds is just a natural by product
that comes from us doing our work, but is not our goal as a missionary.
Just as you wouldn't see a farmer planting seeds during this season.
We also talked about the warning of not letting the ripe corn rot on the
stalk because no one was their to pick it. It was just a very good
conference and motivated us even more to work harder for our mission
goal of 400 baptisms for 2012. The church is true! Much love,
September 17, 2012
Dear Family,
You will be happy to know that I survived biking all week this
week. My legs were pretty super tired the first couple of days but it's
getting better now. Also our car went into the shop this morning for 2
weeks to get fixed so there will be no break. I'll be able to rival Lance Armstrong by the end of these transfers. haha. It has been
really nice weather for being outside lately. The colors aren't
changing too much yet, but at least it's green now since we have gotten
some rain. We spent a couple three hours outside on Saturday helping
Brother Gillmore with his house again. We still aren't finished with
the project. We just have one side of his house left to do and then
we'll be done. Probably 2-3 hours of work left. His wife was super
nice and gave all of us missionaries care packages full of groceries
which is good since we don't really have a way of going to the grocery
store at the moment.
Sunday was just a phenomenal day. We went back to see Carrie
again. We taught her the restoration and brought a member family along
with us who fellowshipped her very well. We set a baptismal date for
her on October 27th. She accepted and is excited for that day. She
also has an 11 year old son so we are working on having him sit in on
the lessons and participate as well. He really enjoyed primary on
Sunday so that is good. Also we set a baptismal date for that same day
with Kelsie and Christine. Even though they technically aren't in my
teaching area anymore we were still able to be there for that meeting.
We all met after church along with our WML and made a plan of how we can
allow them to receive permission from their grandparents by that day.
So as we go forward with faith I know that we will be able to baptize
them on that day. We also picked up a new investigator this week named
Michelle. We found her in an apartment complex and she is doing pretty
good. We arranged a member from the ward to come pick her up for church
on Sunday but unfortunately she wasn't home when they got there. Maybe
next Sunday will turn out better for her. On Sunday for choir practice
we had more men than we have ever had. The whole back row was filled
up which has never happened before and we actually outnumbered the women
about 2 to 1. We are learning an arrangement of "He Sent His Son"
which we will be singing in church in 2 weeks.
Interviews went well as usual this week. President Jergensen talked
all about gathering scattered Israel and priesthood keys. We went on a
scripture chase mostly through the Doctrine and Covenants and learned a
lot. We also learned some proper etiquette from sister Jergensen.
This next week on Wednesday we have zone conference. We are still
looking for a ride to get over there. I'm excited to go though I always
love zone conferences. I know one of the big emphasises (is that
right?) is going to be on church tours. We have a church tour scheduled
for Friday night and already have a part member family committed to
come to that event so now we can learn how to best proceed in giving the
tour. I've done some reading on how missionaries have done it in the
past and it's really cool because you teach the restoration as you go
from room to room and it works out really well. It definitely would be a
unique experience to serve in the same place for the whole duration of
your mission. I'll have spent 9 months in this area by the time I leave
and i've already really grown to love all of these members. It almost
makes me sad to have to share them with another 2 missionaries now! But
i still get to see all of them at church on sundays so no worries. Our
ward has started a mission prep class this week and it'll be every
other week for a couple of months. The first class is this weekend and
starts at 6 in the morning. It should really show these young mens
dedication that's for sure. In the ensuing weeks it will be later, but
because the bishop is teaching it and has meetings starting at 8:30 that
week it has to be really early.
I love all of you! Mom i did get your magazine letter. Does
anyone have an update on Braden? i can't remember when he was going
into the MTC. The church is true! the book is blue

Hello Family!
This has been another great week. We have interviews coming up on Thursday of this week which will be great. We are also having district meeting on that day so it will be a very meeting filled day. Then we have zone conference that next wednesday so we will get to see a lot of President and Sister Jergensen these next two weeks. The weather has been good recently. It's starting to cool down a little bit and has been breezy the last couple of days and it just feels nice. Shortly here it will become suit coat weather again. Peaches and cream corn is just like one of the varieties of corn. It's a little sweeter and the kernels are kind of smaller. It doesn't have to do with literal peaches or cream... that's just what it's called. We did a service project this week for the Gillmore family. We continued to side his house. We started back sometime in May or June. We are going to be finishing this Saturday. The project got put on hold because Brother Gillmore broke both of his feet. He is doing really well now and can walk around. He can even wear tennis shoes now for some of the time. Elder Taylor and I also dismantled his wheelchair ramp he had going up to his door on Saturday. That same day we also did some service for a referral that two sister missionaries gave us from Bettendorf. We went and met Carrie and put together a computer desk for her. She works for a member in the Bettendorf ward and was really interested in the church. We gave her a book of mormon to read and set up a time to go back this week and teach her the first lesson. I'm really excited to start teaching her.
I like that lesson idea about the origami bird. One object lesson that we have started using that I remembered back from when I was at Utah State is about finding people to teach. You get a small tupperware and fill it with uncooked rice and then put 4-5 small safety pins into it (closed so you don't hurt yourself.) Then you have three phases. First you have them close their eyes and don't tell them what they are looking for, just that it's not rice and you ask them to pull it out of the container. So far none of them have been able to. Then phase 2 is you tell them what it is, so you tell them they are looking for safety pins, and ask them to pull one out. They still can't do it. Then for phase 3 you tell them they can look in and pull them out. For some reason the safety pins just feel exactly like the rice and so it's virtually improbable for them to pull one out with just rubbing the rice around in their hand and fingers. The moral of the lesson though is that if we are blindly going through our days knowing that there are blessings(phase 1) or specifically people to teach the gospel in our homes(phase 2) we still won't be able to find them unless we keep our eyes open and really look for them(phase 3). And when we are looking for them, they are easy to pull out. Just a cool little lesson that's fun for kids as well.
Well i know that this church is true!

Dear Family,
This has been a really good week. I feel like my faith is always
increased when i'm serving around new missionaries. This week we have
been studying PMG chapter 9 which is all about finding people to teach.
The first thing that it says in PMG is having the faith to find. We
have been doing some finding this week and have had good success. We
found this guy named Corey (who goes by c) and we talked to him for a
while. He is in to mixed martial arts and trains at a gym in our area.
He told us that he wanted us to come by his gym and teach all of the
kids that he helps with their fighting skills and such. We dropped by
the gym and he wasn't in yet, but we were able to talk with the owner of
the gym and he is interested in the gospel now as well. Hopefully I
can follow up with that story as it continues. We also received 2 solid
referrals from members in our ward. One has been wanting to learn
about the church for 6 months now, her friends had just never invited
her. So when we had a lesson with these members and invited them to
give a friend a book of mormon with their simple testimony written in
the front cover, they gave it to her. Her name is Rosemary and we have
started teaching her. Just before I got here to the library, we were
teaching a lady by the name of Sis Gilbert. She is a less-active lady
who was invited by the ward council to take the missionary lessons again
and she agreed. We taught her the restoration and the spirit was
really strong as we taught her. Plus it was good practice for Elder
Taylor! She also agreed to come to church on Sunday and she is bringing
her friend Beverly. When she comes to church it will be the first time
in a long time.
Yesterday we had a labor day taco feed with our ward. It was fun,
we had it at the same park that we did the memorial day picnic. We also
had a salsa contest (the chip dip not the dance) and had a lot of
entries. One of our recent converts one first prize and got to sign the
hideous pig. It's just this ceramic pig that the ward has that they
let people sign when they win a competition of sorts. Last time they
did it was for a chilli contest. On Saturday we had a lot of rain come
down. We were actually in a hurricane watch and had to text our zone
leaders every hour on the hour so they knew that we were safe, but it
wasn't that bad. By the afternoon it had stopped raining and we were
playing soccer with some investigators outside. I guess it did get
pretty bad in some parts of the mission though. We needed the rain
however so it was good to get it. We've been starting to get fed a lot
of corn again recently and it is really delicious! The peaches and
cream variety is my personal favorite. We had a part member family come
to church on Sunday. The Neyens are their name. We have taught them
twice now. She went to BYU idaho after she was baptized and really
loved it there but then moved away and got married and fell away from
the church. We have started getting her husband interested. They had
met the missionaries before but he didn't like them and didn't want to
meet with them because they had no sense of humor. So when I and my
companion came over, he at first didn't want to talk with us or anything
and we were just talking with his wife, but after we cracked a couple
of jokes he joined in with us and came to church on sunday. They
actually weren't able to attend our 1 o'clock block so we went with them
to the 9 o'clock sacrament meeting with the Bettendorf ward that meets
in our same building. In 2 weeks they will be able to come at 1 though
which will be good.
Well Elder Taylor got his bike in the mail today so now we can
start biking around instead of just walking. So now we can go farther
and get places faster when we don't have the car. Also when the other
elders had the car on Saturday someone ran into the back of them because
of the slick roads and got the corner of the bumper all bent out of
shape and the light is broken. So we will have to get those fixed and
we will be without a car for even longer during that time. Just more
time to allow the Lord to make my weak things strong unto me. I was
reading in the general conference issue of the ensign recently about a
talk that speaks on real growth. That is something that we are
implimenting in our ward and we are really trying to retain all of our
members that have started coming back. This church is true and i know
that as we experience real growth in the church we will be the happiest
we have ever been!

Hello hello Family!
This week has been a busy one. I have now started the training process which has been fun. My boys name is Elder Jordan Taylor. He is from Riverton Utah. His family owns Taylor's bike shop if any of you know the name. We had a big group of new missionaries come out this last transfer. 18 new missionaries. Only those getting transferred and their companions come to the transfer meetings. The 2 new elders that came to rock island also are Elder Meservy and Elder Brandley. I actually came out with Elder Brandley. Elder Meservy was in the same zone so i served around him a little bit and they are both way sweet elders. I'm stoked for this new and upcoming transfer. We had our first district meeting on Saturday and got to know the new people in the district a little better. We got a new zone leader, Elder Holmes who i actually came out with as well so now there are 3 missionaries in my same "age" group in the district. We also have a new missionary from montana and one from texas. Today we are going over to the stake center and we are going to play dodgeball as a district and also some other games. This last week we spent a lot of our time moving the other missionaries into their apartment. We didn't close the deal until Friday morning so they actually stayed the night with us on that Thursday. Then we got everything situated and moved them in. We also spent a lot of time dividing up the area and telling them the work that is going on here and who they need to focus on and such. We met with the bishop and the ward mission leader and they are really supportive of the missionaries and they also give us referrals to go see all the time. Mostly less-active members to go strengthen. We have instituted a rescue program and out ward attendance has increased from about 140 each week to now 160 at least each week just since i've been here and i hope to see it continue to go up as well. We are now also in a car share so every other week we will be walking until we secure another bike in our area. It will be good for us. We got wet yesterday from a huge rainstorm. It was coming down good for the whole day. It was much needed though and we are greatful for that blessing. I found a scripture that i really liked in the Doctrine and Covenants this morning. It's section 11 verse 7. It says Seek not for riches but for wisdom; and behold, the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto you, and then shall you be made rich. Behold, he that hath eternal life is rich. Then verse 8 is a good verse for us missionaries. It says Verily, verily, i say unto you, even as you desire of me so it shall be done unto you' and, if you desire, you shall be the means of doing much good in this generation. It really just highlighted to me the importance of desire. It's when you desire to do good and to grow closer to God and to experience his blessings that we really make the most progress. The church is true!

Dear Family,
Welp i had an e-mail typed up and ready to send to you but then the internet stopped working and wouldn't send it. So that is why it is a day late. Also I don't have much time now so i apologize in advance for the shorter e-mail that this is going to be. So on Saturday I got the call from President Jergensen for the official transfer doctrine. I will be training again and also be staying as the District Leader. Elder Craven will be going back to Geneseo. Also the other 2 companionships in my district will also be training so we will have 3 "greenies" in the district. Plus the 2 new elders coming into rock island so a big change up. The zone leaders told us that every single companionship in the zone is getting a new companion so the meeting on Thursday is going to be huge... especially with 18 new missionaries coming into the mission! We just heard this morning that the apartment for the rock island elders isn't going to be ready until Friday (hopefully) so they will be staying with us on Thursday evening. Then we will be moving them in on Friday. I'm excited to be training again and hopefully it works out this time! So you want to hear something funny? Ok here are some jokes. How many bishops does it take to change a light bulb? One, but the lightbulb has to be willing to change. Why didn't Noah go fishing very often? He only had 2 worms. What do you get when you mix LDS with LSD? a high priest.
We had stake conference this last weekend. President and Sister Jergensen were there along with the stake presidency obviously and then President Condie and his wife were there as well. He is the president of the Nauvoo temple. We were only able to attend the family session sunday morning because we couldn't find an investigator to go with to the adult session the night before. Kelsie and Christine were able to come on Sunday though and they even attended the new member/investigator meeting before the general session. Now we just need their grandmother to soften her heart and let them be baptized. Unfortunately they are going to fall under the other elders jurisdiction starting up here on Thursday so i'll only see them at church. They are still doing really well though. They started attending seminary on Monday and seem to really enjoy it.
It was a pretty slow week this last week. We taught in the home of a lot of members mostly. We are going around and teaching the doctrine of Christ using a towel that we fold up to look like a chicken. it works out really well (not so well trying to describe it over an e-mail) and the punch line is don't be a chicken, endure to the end. Then we give them some cool bookmarks we made with chapters in the bom where they can study the doctrine of christ. My favorite one is 2 nephi 31 incase any of you need some good reading this week ;) Well i have to go but i love all of you and will have a lot of updates for next weeks e-mail. the church is true!

My favorite one is 2 nephi 31 incase any of you need some good reading this week ;) Well i have to go but i love all of you and will have a lot of updates for next weeks e-mail. the church is true!
Love, Elder Peterson
