Tyson's latest letter!

Hey Family,
I just got your valentines day package, man it was great! Mom, you're the best, thanks so much for having my back on valentines day. I just read all the letters from my friends, I love them. the e-mail you got from Kellin was awesome, I love that guy. I miss "the gang" but man, what a blessing it is to serve the Lord, and I get to share this opportunity with my friends. What a reunion that will be, eh? Mom, you know me I'm an internal guy, you used to hate when I wouldn't open up, and I still stink at it, ha ha. But I love you guys and I love this work, our Savior lives and loves us, I feel of his love everyday, I see His hand in all things. If it wasn't for Him, I would have crumbled under the pressure a long time ago. He supports me always and especially in my weakness. Through humble prayer and trusting in Him He strengthens me in my weak times. Between my local companion and running out of food and water and many more things, it's safe to say I have been tried, but Jesus Christ has felt it all and he willingly took my troubles, trials, and sins on his shoulders. I'm not worthy of a love so pure, but he willingly gives it. The Gospel is true, I feel it each day. I was teaching a man last week who has given up so much to be baptised, he is being baptised on Feb, 28th and I can't wait, he is so humble and sincere, his faith is unshakeable, I can truely say I love this man, his name is Retan, he is a stud!
Another thing that happened this week was that I prayed to know who would accept our message, I pray for it everyday, but it's usually just words, but I recommited myself before the Lord and said a sincere prayer with the intent to act on the answer that was given, As I finished I got the thought of a girl on island visiting,, later that day, i saw her and it's like the spirit took control of the situation, A man who is a member was talking to her and he called us over and said" this girl needs the gospel" How about that answer to a prayer slapping me in the face? I couldn't have missed that if I would have tried. Long story short she loves the gospel, and should be baptised soon. Last conference Elder Bednar spoke on prayer I loved his talk. Pray for the youth of our Ward and Stake, It sounds like tough times back home, and pray that I'll be transfered, JK. Six months on an Island this size is tough tho, Ha ha.
Love and miss you guys,
Elder Peterson
