Home for the holidays - December 31, 2018

Hey everyone! I hope you all had an amazing Christmas! I loved celebrating Christ and being able to talk with my family in my favorite place. I'm grateful to have spent two Christmases here in Washington! One of the highlights of my week was listening to Bailey give a talk in sacrament meeting. He spoke about his conversion and it was SO powerful! The chapel was completely silent as he was speaking and the spirit was incredibly strong. He talked about how his conversion has been a lifelong process that has lead him up to this point in his life and how grateful he is to be a member of Christ's restored church. I have a recording of the talk, but the attachment is too large! So ask me about it when I get home and I'll let you listen to it! We had another lesson with John Howe this week, and he continues to progress! He's praying about maybe moving his baptism date earlier. We talked about the lifelong blessings of the gospel and his wife said "I can taste the blessings. They're right there!" Please keep praying so that John can partake of the blessings of baptism soon! I love you all! Have an amazing week! Love, Sister Peterson
