Grind Don't Stop!

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 was thinking about it I realized how big of a blessing knowledge is!  


Without the knowledge I have of Eternal Life and the Plan of Salvation, or even just the knowledge that we do have a Heavenly Father and a Savior Jesus Christ that died for me I would be LOST! But so many people live every single day not knowing! 


But the BEST part about knowledge is we can gain it every single day! The more we know about the gospel the better and easier life is! So GRIND THE STUDIES! learn about Christ and find peace through the knowledge you have of him! 


Have the bestest week love you all so much! Until next week


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...
