1 Month Down!!

What is up everyone?! Crazy I have been a missionary for 1 month today! Time low key flies but then at the same time it feels like a lifetime haha! Nothing very exciting happened this week, just the same thing everyday. Still no exercise or anything so that is annoying. I just wanna play some intramurals right now lol.   


Another kinda cool experience is that Sister Bonnie H Cordon got called to our branch last week. I have had a few times where I have had to do something for the Sisters in our branch and she and I are just chillin. I would take a selfie with her but everyone else fan girls and I am not about to do the same haha. My biggest flex though is that she has a selfie with me on her phone lol. Really it's just been a cool experience to get to be around her and hear her experience and advice. Not very many people can say they have been tucked into bed by her but our branch can lol! 


One quick spiritual thought this week comes from my Personal Study. I was studying the Book of Mormon and highlighting everytime Christ is mentioned. This is a little harder to do in Spanish when I don't understand everything I am reading. But while I was marking I noticed how easy I was able to identify Him even in Spanish. This got me thinking about how He is literally everywhere. When we look for Him we will find Him in the details. Christ wants to be involved and when we allow Him to and look for Him we will find him. 


So this week I challenge you all to look for Christ and find him in the details. I know that as you do this you will be blessed. You also will be able to find the peace and comfort that comes from the Savior of the world. 


Have a good week everyone! Hope you all are living your best lives. Miss and Love ya lots! 


LOVE LIKE JESUS


Love, Hermana Peterson

HURRICANE DEBBY

Heyoo! Hope it was a baller week for all of you. My week consisted of pretty much no time in my area. Thats one of the hatdest things for me to be out of my area. I left my poor trainee that knows no spanish here in miami with another sister who knows zero spanish. Lets just say our area has suffered. Only 3 more exchanges so I am praying those go well!  This week we also survived the tropical storm hurricane thing. We were locked up all day Saturday but nothing to crazy happened just bad storms.  Our friends havent really been keeping committments and its been hard. We are praying for them! We know God will provide.  This week in sacrament during testimony meetings there were so many people going up and it got me thinking about all the different members there are in the church. And these are a few I thought of.  1. MEMBER MEMBER- Someone who loves to tell everyone they are a memeber becasue they were baptized but does nothing else besides pull the member card. ...

Olá, tudo bem?? There is my little Portuguese for the week if that doesn't show you how crazy my week was I don't know what will! Haha! This week there were some really big struggles with the sisters we live with so we have been working in the Spanish and Portuguese area! It's crazy because I can pretty much understand everything my speaking is not so good haha. This week was a grind we found so many people and got some really awesome friends on date! Mentally this week was a hard one. My companion doesn't speak any Spanish so it's only me that teaches. I felt like a chicken with my head cut off most of the week. So many friends missionaries and members that need our help but I was struggling to keep going myself. I felt like I was sprinting and not getting anywhere. It was frustrating. Many times during the week I wondered how in the world I can do this for 75 more days! Then to add to it I got asked to speak in sacrament haha. Don't worry I survived.  Fun fact...

LAST DAY @ THE MTC!!

Image
YOOOOOO! I finally made it to the last day of the MTC. I leave for Florida super early tomorrow morning and then don't get there until 6pm tmr night. So that's gonna be a LOOOOONG travel day! I get to spend it with my companion. So that will be fun.... NOT! I am definitely looking forward to a new comp. Hopefully my trainer will work out haha!! Anyway my time at the MTC has felt like a lifetime and I swear I know like No spanish so this is gonna be wild!  This week in our spanish only speaking it was hard. I feel like I completely lose my personality when I speak spanish. I cannot really say anything more than what needs to be said. So it was a pretty quiet week. We also took our final spanish test to see how much we have learned. The goal was to get a 4 on the test. After the test my companion got mad at me for getting a high score and said I didn't teach her enough. So that was a real fun time. But ya even though I had a high score I still feel like I kno...
