How is everything going for you guys!
So, like I said before, Elder Peek is my new companion. He has been out for about 10 months. He is from south Weber, UT. We get along pretty well! He is 6' 4", and we work well together.

We have been able to get a lot of good work done. One of the really cool experiences we had was when we met with someone that has been investigating the Church for about 15 years. We asked him what concern held him back when he was meeting with the missionaries before, and he told us that he has a hard time believing that Joseph Smith could have translated the Book of Mormon and the fact that we have modern-day prophets. We asked if he had ever read the Book of Mormon before, and he told us that he had only read sections of it. We bore our testimonies, and then we committed him to read the Book of Mormon. We are meeting with him this Wednesday to read from the Book of Mormon. I love being able to teach about the Lord's promise that if we read the Book of Mormon with real intent and we are praying to know if it is true, then we WILL receive an answer. Our Heavenly Father will never fall through on His promises, so we can know that we can receive everything that he has promised us as long as we are doing our part.
I love missionary work more with every passing week. Being on a mission has really shown me how much the Gospel means to me. Without the Gospel, life would be meaningless!
I love you all, and I hope this week goes amazing for you guys!
Love,
Elder Ethan Nielsen
