Hello everyone,
How are you all doing? I am well this week has been very weird. Well to start out on Monday we found out that Elder Christensen was leaving and I was getting a new companion his name is Elder Potter, and no his first name isn't Harry. We had dinner at an former investigators house because Elder Christensen taught him and they wanted to feed him since he was leaving, we even went to our Less Active/ Recent Convert Matt so Elder Christensen could say goodbye. Then on Tuesday we had several appointments for Elder Christensen to say goodbye. Wednesday we went down to Green Bay to the transfer point where Elder Christensen and I said goodbye and he went to Oshkosh and I waited for Elder Potter to get to Green Bay. Around 2 the missionaries showed up to replace the Elders who left the Green Bay Zone. We got home around 6 or 7 and we got Elder Potter set up in the apartment. Thursday we got to know each other a lot better and planed out what we are going to do before this next transfer. So on Friday we meet with one of our investigator Keeli Brooks she is 10 and her grandparents are wanting her to be baptized and she is showing that she wants it too. Nothing too exciting happened on Saturday but however we were able to visit some less actives in the far away places because we had extra miles. Sunday we had a great lesson with Josh , less active, and just had several spiritual lessons on Sunday, it was great.
I am excited to say that we will be able to use a lot of the stuff that Elder Perry talked about on last Sunday. I know that the Lord is truly hastening His work and He is preparing the people by their friends and family sharing the gospel to those all around the world. I know that as we all change our ideas of what missionary work is, that is to not allow the missionaries to tract and labor alone. We all need to stick up for ourselves and our beliefs when people are talking about them. We all as members need to make our focus the same as the missionaries. We all need to " Invite others to come unto Christ", by helping them receive the message of the restored Gospel through Faith in Jesus Christ, Repentance, Baptism, Receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost, and Enduring to the End.
Elder Robert Pike
Elder Pike, how we miss you. It is not the same at church without your amazing smile. We love reading your letters. It's exciting to see how much your growing in the gospel and growing as a young man. You can see how independent your becomming. You give me so much hope because I think peter is a lot like you. "Men of few words". Your stories are great, and it seems Wisconsin is everything you hoped it would be. Can't wait for your next email. Stay strong. God bless you. Don't worry about your parents, we are taking good care of them. Love, The Peck Family.
