WOW! I am pretty sure every week gets crazier and crazier! Time is honestly flying here in Homestead. I can't believe I have been here for 2 weeks. Its been so fun. We have been so busy!  This week was FULL of meetings! We had MLC then we also has zone meetings and trainings. It was super busy. Missionary work slowed down because we had so many meetings. We only had 50 lessons this week. But the meetings were good and motivating so hopefully we can continue to work hard.  We went to the temple this week... and let me say it was the craziest experience of my life. Taking recent converts is stressful. We were trying to help them act right in the temple... turns out it was this random old man we needed to worry about instead. Lets just say he used the font as a swimming pool. One quick thought this week is from MLC. Our mission presidents friend came and he said to us.. I have an invitation for you Live like jesus is already here. That changed my perspective!  This week I am...

God Provides

CRAZY WEEK!!  This week was literally insane. We had 153 lessons!!! We were able to have 53 members participating in the lessons it was so crazy!  The most random things also happened this week. My comp got attacked by a rooster. We got a nail in our tire. And lots of other crazy stuff! But GOD PROVIDES!  My quick thought this week is simply GOD PROVIDES. When we have the faith to keep going god provides a way. This week we had super high goals and lots of things kept getting in the way. But god still provided and we were able to reach those.  This week let God Provide. Allow your heart to be opened to his miracles and you will see them.  Love Like Jesus Love, hermana peterson

SURPRISE

SURPRISE I LEFT WEST PALM! It was so good to leave but i was also so so sad to leave all the members! I got super close with them! But I am also very happy.  I am now an STL in Homestead. God works in mysterious ways! I did not want to be an STL but god provides. I have LOVED my time here. The ward is awesome and have been working super super hard! My comp is also a new STL so we are learning together its been fun. A quick thought for yall comes from a president nelsons talk in conference the quote I like says: "Priesthood keys govern how the priesthood of God may be used to bring about the Lord’s purposes and bless all who accept the restored gospel."  Reading this helped me realize how truly blessed I am to know of the power of the priesthood. I am super grateful for this power in my life and have seen the blessings of it so much.  Dont forget the power we have access to!  Love Like Jesus  Love, hermana peterson 

Transfer Week

Hey yall! Here is a quick update! It's transfer week. I am super excited to see what happens! I might leave West palm I might not hahah! We will see. It will Be good either way.  This week we went crazy! We found 41 new people to teach. It was super fun to just grind. Most of our friends we find are from English class and Facebook. Our phones are BLOWING up!! I hope yall got the chance to listen to general conference! It was the best. One thing that I really liked was from Elder Uchtdorf. He talked about how Joy is the very purpose of God's Plan! So often as a missionary I teach people about the Plan of Happiness but I never really put it together.  God's plan truly is to bring us Joy. He has given us all we need to access this Joy. I have realized as a missionary that God's Joy is much greater than earthly Joy.  So this week look at what bring you happiness and then find a way to do things that will bring you Joy. You will find it!!! Love yall! Have the best week! Love...

Choose To Be Humble

Heyo everyone I hope all is well. We had fun! A new sister moved into our house and she is hilarious. She has me laughing 24/7. This week we put come of our friends on date and we are HYPED! They are super ready and we are excited to help them. 2 of them pretty much put themsleves on date! They were like when can I be baptized!  This week we also did lots of knocking doors. This is the most terrifying thing! I am not a fan! Its always a jump scare to see whats behind the door. But we found some pretty cool people and we had 30 people come to english class which was good!  This week I studied in Psalms and this verse stoof out to me Psalm 10:17  17 Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear I realized the importance of being humble and how crucial it is. There are so many moments that I think I know what our area needs or what will help me. But really what I need is to be humble and allow the will of the...
