HOLA HOLA HOLA!  Another week down and goodness it felt like 3 years! We had HECKA tamales for Thanksgiving... I HATE TAMALES. But it is what it is haha! Hope yall had an awesome Thanksgiving full of lots and lots of delicious food! We have so much to be grateful for and Thanksgiving this year was a great reminder of that for me!  Sadly our friend Alejandra couldnt get baltized on Sunday! She is completely ready and wants it... but sadly her boss who she lives with and takes care of wont let her leave! So we are praying that she somehow can get out of the house and we can baptize her!   This week I pondered and thought alot about my life and eveything I have and eveything that blesses me! I really have blessed with the best of the best SO THANK YOU ALL! I LOVE YOU!  Anyway, while I thought of all I was grateful for and all that I have I could keep thinking about the word KNOWLEDGE! I never have really thought about knowledge or how its blessed me but as I w...

SUP YALL Hope yall had an awesome week and were able to find ways to make Heaven crowded! This was kinda a crazy week for me! It was SOOOO long but had some good moments haha!  Our friend Alejandra put herself ON DATE! She told us that she knows she needs ro follow chrost and be baptized so her baptism is this Sunday! Pray she will continue to feel ready and want to follow Christ!  This week we had exchanges and I stayed in our area and an English sister came here. So I was the ONLY spanish speaker. Holy it was a LONG day haha! We had 9 lessons and found 4 new friends though! So my spanish was good enough that people could at least understand what I was trying to say!!  Thank goodness for the gift of tongues!  This week as I studied I felt like no matter what I studied it seemed to keep mentioning "become like a child" after like the tenth time I was finally like OK WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO BE LEARNING RIGHT NOW So I dove deeper into the meaning of becoming like a child...

YOOO! I learned my lesson last week and im sending my email haha! Sorry for miss jess and her photo overload last week haha!  This was a really long week! Our area is really hard! Nobody wants to listen to us  at all! But hopefully this week we wilm find more sucess!  Today we got to go to the temple! Our mission president got special permission and the temple is going to open once a month on monday just for the missionaries! This is a super awesome opportunity we have!  Today in the temple as I sat there I was looking around at all the other missionaries I thought about how this is what heaven is going to look like! And how awesome it was to have 60+ missionaries all there together! And how i wanted all my friends and family there! I thought of the quote MAKE HEAVEN CROWDED!  We get the chance to share the light of christ with others and represent what a little piece of heaven can look like! As we love and serve one another we can help each other on the path to...

Mom Is The Messenger…Hermana Peterson’s Email

Hi All, It’s nice to know that occasionally the Hermana still needs her mom’s help!  Her weekly email is below: HELLO EVERYONE! I hope y'all had a good week and a Happy Halloween... or Happy Kev Dawg’s Birthday whichever you chose to celebrate haha!  This week was a crazy week! I survived my first transfer and will be staying in West Palm Beach with Hermana Duvall!  We had some wild experiences that’s for dang sure! We found some ways to do service which was fun! We also attracted super creepy guys that just want dates... no gospel hahah! Our friend Mateo was baptized this week as well! He was so happy and excited which was awesome! He told us he has never been happier a day in his life and that he just wants to tell everyone he sees about the church! We are going to go to the temple with him in a few weeks and he is so hyped!!! Our dry area is getting little splashes of water haha! A thought from this week came from a talk I studied by President Nelson from April 2014....
