Hello Everyone!!!

This week has been really busy! I got a cool new companion! His name is Elder Eldredge. He is from Hawaii!

You will never believe what I've been doing for the past week. I've been driving!  So my new comp is not supposed to drive and we have a car and but it is a stick shift which I didn't know how to drive. After many trials and errors and after many times killing the car, this guy knows how to drive stick shift now! haha  I am driving in France!  It is pretty fun to drive a stick shift. You feel like you could be in like Fast and Furious or something. haha (Don't worry mom, I am being safe ans humanly possible and going the speed limit).

We have been teaching a lot this week and I have been helping my comp get familiar with Chartres. It has been great though! We taught one of our amis and her name is Maria. We taught her about baptism. We extended the invite to be baptized on March 29th. The spirit was there and she was just so close to accepting but she didn't...but she did accept another date, sometime in May. She knows it is true so we are just going to keep bringing that strong spirit in those lessons. She will come around.

We do have a baptism for the 29th of March but for Louise and Nathanael so I am really looking forward to that! This week has been great. And the weather is finally getting warmer. It has been completely sunny for the past 4 days. So awesome! 

Love you all!!! Have a great week!!!

Elder Evan Peterson

Notes from mom:

Temperatures today:

Chartres 36 degrees with 81% humidity
American Fork 58 degrees
Bangkok where his sister is serving 88 degrees

Other amis they are teaching are: Gwen, Selvete and Swada Valija from Kosovo.  Louise and Nathanael are from France.  Evan's Branch President's (Phillippe Deleu) daughter is currently serving in Temple Square.

Elder James Eldredge couldn't drive any more due to a law in France that you can only use your driver's license up to a year which his comp was at his year mark.

Me and my comp!
