LAST DAY @ THE MTC!!

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 know nothing lol. 


Well my time at the MTC has definitely been MID. I have learned a lot about myself though. I have had lots of time to study and even though I would rather be outside or playing sports I am grateful for extra time to learn about the savior and also learn about the gospel of Jesus christ better and throw in some spanish study haha! 


One quick thought for you all comes from one of my studies this week. I was reading the talk Ladder of Faith from the April 2022 conference. This talk focused a ton on how we need to turn and rely on Jesus Christ and His will for us. One quote that kept standing out to me was " Accepting His will in place of our own is key to finding joy no matter our circumstances." I think it is pretty easy to get caught up in life and be frustrated with our circumstances and want them to change. But this teaches us that when we are able to put enough trust in our Savior Jesus Christ and allow our will to align with His we can find happiness no matter the struggle. Jesus Christ is the key to happiness. I am so grateful to have this knowledge and to be able to share it with the people of Florida in a few short days!


This weekend we all get to hear the messages of God's Chosen Servants during General Conference. This is an opportunity we have to hear the word of God. This week I got to talk to Sister Cordon about everything that goes into Conference. She told me that each speaker usually puts at least 3 months of work into each talk. They also rewrite it on average 20 times. These talks are all inspired by God. So take this opportunity to learn and grow from the words that are being spoken. 


Love and Miss you all! I am grateful for all of your examples in my life. Hope you are doing good! My P day is going to change next week so you will hear from me on Mondays from now on! Have a good week!! 


Love Like Jesus 


Love, Hermana Peterson

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...
