Another Week

Yo Yo Yo! 



Good Morning everyone! I dont want any hate from any of yall but this week was FREEZING.  I swear I could never get warm! But other than that it was a good week! My trainer  Hermana Duvall went home so that was saddie! We are no longer in a trio and its weird for her to not be here! But me and Hermana Dickson have been grinding soooo its been fun! 



This week we had a day FULL of just finding we had no studies and had to be out of the house all day! We called like 500 people and talked to anyone we could! Our goal was to find 18 people which is more than we usually find in a week! We ended up finding 16! Thats alot of souls thay get the chance to learn more about their Heavenly Father and make covenants with him!  We are praying hard that we will be able to help all 16 of these friends continue to learn and progress! But ya it was a fun, busy, and exhausting day haha! 



This week during my studies I was studying in the beginning of Book of Mormon (of course!!) I was reading in 1 Nephi 3:7! I've read this lots of times and also heard it quoted so many times! But this time reading it something stood out to me that ive never noticed before! It says: 

"And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them."



Nephi doesn't say I will go and do AFTER I have seen the blessings and the way the lord will help me to accomplish what he commands. He takes the step and is making the effort taking action before he knows the outcome! This is hard to do! So often I think to myself ok Heavenly Father tell me EXACTLY how to do this and EXACTLY how you will help me.  But thats not how life works! We have to take action and make the effort and thats when we can see the miracles coming! 



In my scriptures I wrote: He WILL make up the difference after I make the effort! So try that this week with me! Lets be 100% committed to doing our part then thats when we can expect the lord to do his! 



I love you all! I hope you are all doing good and staying warm. Eat some Costa Vida or Cafe Rio for me this week for me because i've been CRAVING IT.



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...
