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.  He says "Spiritual truth cannot be ignored—especially divine commandments. Keeping divine commandments brings blessings, every time! Breaking divine commandments brings a loss of blessings, every time!"


What a blessing it is that we know that as we keep the Commandments we will be blessed every single time!  ALL good things come from God! So as we live a worthy life and keep the commandments, blessing WILL come! Even though we might not see them when we want, they always will! That is the blessing of Gods plan! He pours out blessings! We just have to be ready and worthy


Have a great week!  I love you all!


Love Like Jesus

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...

LAST DAY @ THE MTC!!

Image
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...
