Another Week Down

Hola! 


Hope everyone is doing good! Well I am not gonna lie to yall its been a rough week in Florida! We have had NO success. Everyone just blocks us lol! Our friends on date for baptism Satan has worked so hard on and unfortunately now is not their time! I know that they have testimony and that one day the time will be right for them! It is hard to see though! 


Spanish sucks haha! I swear I cannot communicate anything and my personality is gone. Its been a week of wondering what the heck I got myself into! But through this hard week I have learned a few key things about life! 


Just like a mission, life is going to be SO hard. We will probably have more bad days than good! But we can learn so much through the hard! I was reading in 1 Nephi this week and I kept noticing how quickly Laman and Lemuel hardened their hearts and got mad at God! Just for eveything to work out and then once it was alright they were grateful. Immediantly when life got hard they got angry! Instead of turning to God they did the opposite! I won't lie I have been guilty of this as well! I am quick to be frustrated with my circumstances! But am I quick to show gratitude? When things get hard do I thank Heavenly Father for ALL I DO have? I learned this week that gratitude is key for a happy life. We have been given so stickin much and even when its hard God still gives blessings! We just have to soften our hearts and look for them! 


This week I also studied The Living Christ! One quote from it I love says "Jesus is the Living Christ, immortal Son of God. He is the great King Immanuel, who stands today on the right hand of His Father. He is the light, the life, and the hope of the world. His way is the path that leads to happiness in this life and eternal life in the world to come. God be thanked for the matchless gift of His divine Son." 


We have to turn ourselves to Christ! We must make him the Center of our lives! When our focus is on him then everything else can fall into place! I have seen Christ hand everywhere and I know that he is OUR SAVIOR + MY SAVIOR. Put him as the center and see the power that comes into your life! 


Anyway I hope eveyone is doing alright! I miss you all lots! Have a awesome week! Be grateful and put Christ at the center! 


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...

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...
