HAPPY THANKSGIVING

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 and noticed SO many powerful  attributes that were described children! But then one line stood out to me especially! It was in Mosiah 3:19 and it says: "willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father" 



From this I took away that just as a child relys on their earthly parents for food, water, protection, love, and all other life necessities! Becoming like a child means to rely on our Heavenly Father just as much as a child relys on their parents! Our Savior is the perfect example of this as he put his trust in Heavenly Father and His plan even when he was going to suffer the intense pain he did!  Becoming like a child is an action of faith and trust we MUST take! 



I know as we rely on our Heavenly Father and strive to become more like a child we can see and feel of HIS POWER! 



Have a great week! Love and miss you all! Have the best Thanksgiving! Play some pickleball for something fun for me this week and then send me pictures haha! 



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...
