TROPICAL STORM

This week was a week of wild latin drinks that were supposed to cure the sickness me and my comp got. Lets just say we had some WILD stuff! 


This week their was a crazy tropical storm and we weren't allowed to leave our houses. The roads were all completely flooded. Our house somehow survived! We grinded phone work and called every single person we have in our app. 


This week we also decided to focus on inactive members and we had 16 inactive members come to church yesterday because we called them! It was super cool! We also had a lot of friends there! It was a good father's day! 


One quick thought this week came from when I was reading the Book Saints. I was reading about when Brigham Young met Joseph Smith for the first time. Just by being in his presence Brigham Young said “I knew at once he was a prophet of God.” 


This has been something that I have thought about a lot recently. We had a recent convert that said when she met us the first time she knew we were true messengers of Jesus Christ. 


That has made me realize the importance of truly living what I preach. I want to be recognized as a true disciple or a true messenger of Jesus Christ. This means that I must live in a way that reflects the savior. He has so many attributes and if we just focus on becoming more like him. We will bring people closer to Him. 


Become a little more like Jesus this week so that He can put people in your path and they can get closer to Him just by knowing YOU! 


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...

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...
