Peterson, Kamryn

I have spent alot of time thinking about what to say in this last email. I'll be honest I dont really have words to describe what I feel. Its unreal! But what I can say is THANK YOU FLORIDA!  THANK YOU FOR - The sunshine  - The crazy people I met  - The Smiles  - The people who became family  - the lessons I learned  - the lessons i taught - the members who loved me  - the lives I saw change  - the change that happened in me  - the hard  - the bad bad days  - the miracles  - the companions  - the langauge i learned  - the latin culture that i now love  - the testimony that I gained  - the places that became sacred  - the heartache  - the falling short  - the bashers  - the moments where I thought I couldnt do it anymore - the baptisms that I got to witness  - the scriptures I have written on my heart  - the stories that changed me  - the crazy food  - the mate addictio...

I know I am gonna get hate for this but I am going to say it anyway. IT IS FREEZING. You would think the world was ending here since it showed and its cold. Literally Floridians don't know how to handle themselves. It's a mad house lol. Everywhere you go they ask CAN YOU BELIEVE FLORIDA GOT SNOW?!?!?!  This week was a lot of lats ! I had my last zone conference. I had to give my departing testimony. My last zone r+r (zone exchange)! It's getting real and it's crazy!  Our friend Oscar got baptized on Sunday. He is 87 years old. He is crazy. I am not gonna lie. I never thought he would be baptized. BUT HE LOVES THE BOOK OF MORMON. And his entire life he has had the desire to be baptized so im glad he got to! He refuses to call me Hermana Peterson, he calls me Kamelia. We asked him why and he says it's because I'm the most beautiful person he has seen in his entire life and the Kamelia flower is the most beautiful flower bahahahah. He is psycho. I forgot to mention...

Hello again! I hope you are all doing good. This week was good! We were super busy which is good! We had some meetings and some other things going on which made the week go pretty fast!  We had a zoom meeting with Elder Renlund which was good! He did a Q+A. What I loved most was that he centered everything on the savior!  This week we met some really cool new friends! We also had so many members meal.... trying to soak it all in. Even the member meals. This week there were so many times where it hit me in the face that it almoat over. All I could think of is the song "You're gonna miss this" Trace Adkins  Honestly this week I have been thinking alot about my mission. The good, the bad, the hard, the JOY, the heartbreak, the success, the failure, the change, the stress, the spiritual, the growth, the homesickness, the love, the laughs, the smiles, the food, the people, the places, the stories, the friends, the best times, the worst times, and all the little in betweens.
