Hello everyone!!! This week has been really awesome!

First of all, we watched 17 miracles with Borris and one of the members here in Chartres. They both loved it. Too bad they only have subtitles in French.

The best part of this week was that we finally found a new ami after a lot of praying and searching!  The story of how we found this guy is pretty weird. So first of all in January we contacted this guy and we haven't heard from him since then. Then one day we were going through the Area Book and I decided to call this guy, Samuel. He answered and we set up a rendezvous with him. When we got to his apartment I realized that this is an old amis apartment too. Her name was Tracy and she was a referral that we received but only taught her once and after that we couldn't get a hold of her. So, we walked in and I find out that Samuel and Tracy are married..haha. It was so weird, but now we get to teach them both!

All of our other amis are progressing really well. We gave one of them a blessing because she has been having a hard time trying to overcome coffee. Also I received two packages!  One from my mom and the other from my dad. That made my week.  Getting anything as a missionary is Golden!

I know God is watching over every one of us. Through him and his son anything is possible. He has given us so much and when dark times come the important thing to do is smile and remember those things that He has given us.

Have a great week everybody! I love you guys so much!!!

Elder Evan Peterson

Mom's notes: All of Evan's amis are scheduled to be baptized on April 19th which is unfortunately after the April 16th transfer, so he may not be there for them.  Evan and his comp take turns cooking.  They did get to eat at a members house this past week.

Easter came early:

Easter package for Elder Eldredge too:

A basketball ball and hoop that's just the right size for our apartment (small)...haha
