Hope yall are doing good! It was a a CRAZY week here. We got evacuated because of the hurricane and tropical storm… we ended up in a house with 11 sisters and 4 beds. I was the lucky one to get all of the complaints and everything else. We had sisters freaking out about the craziest things. Lets just say not so nice hermana  peterson  came out and not so kindly reminded them why they were there and who they represented.  In the end we did not get any damage. And everyone was okay! Some flooding but nothing too extreme. Praying for all those that got hit hard by the hurricane. This week we also had to go on a few emergency exchanges. Those aren't my favorite things but it always reminds me of why I am called to be a leader. And it's not for the sisters, it's strictly for me. The lessons I learn from them are much greater than anything I have to offer.  This week we were walking down the road and I saw this mom and her 7 little kids. I was like FAMILY and ran to go tal...

Another Week In Miami

Hola! Hows it going? Hope yall are thriving! Love and miss each of you.  This week we really grinded. We were able to find so many new people and we talked to literslly everyone we saw. It was super fun! I love weeks when we are able to go crazy. Unfortunately nobody came to church which was pretty hard. Its been a struggle to help people know the importance of commitments.  This week I also got screamed at by the old ladies in our ward... lets just say they were very upset that we didnt know we needed to pick up a member meal that we didnt even know was happening and nobody told us about it.  Fun times here in Miami.  This week I started the Bible again and I was studying about the creation. I was really was just humbled to realize how big of a blessing it is that we get the chnacw to be here.  Its not easy. There is lots of bad in the world. Sicknesses and struggles are everywhere. But its all here for a reason. And because we have been blessed to even be here...

One More Day

Wow another week down! I hit 13 month this week super super crazy. I had exchanges every single day this week. It was so much fun .  Today for pday we played baskeyball and lets just say I went SOOO hard. And now I am sore and exausted. Unfortunately I am not even close to as athletic in shape or skinny like I used to be lol.  This week should be a little bit more chill but we will see. I also have had to put some patches on this old lady in our wards back... im grateful i will never be a nurse lol  A quick thought: "I contemplate the phrase “one more day.” I wonder what it would mean, what effect it would have in my life to know that I had only one more day to live. How would I treat my wife, my children, and others? How patient and polite would I be? How would I take care of my body? How fervently would I pray and search the scriptures? I think that, in one way or another, we all at some point will have a “one more day” realization—a realization that we must use wisely...

Exchange Week

Heyoooo! Hope yall are doing so so good! I love and miss you!  This week I was on exchanges everyday and it was crazy! I got to be with my old comp sister Velez and it was so fun! We also had the tabernacle choir which was a party and I got to see all my old members!  This week we also tried to get connections with the ward! We gave them cookies and some of the inactive members came to church after so that was a success.  A quick thought this week comes from my studies this week id from 2 Corinthians 12:9 9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me This was a powerful reminder to me that no matter how much I fall short or how many times I fail the Lord can and will magnify my weakness!  Let the Lord show you how he can make your weak things become strong!  Love Like Jesus Love, hermana  Peterson ...

SIT WITH JESUS

Hows it going??? It was a pretty tough week here! We have had a really hard time finding people who are truly interested in the gospel and also just having people to teach. We have also had a lot of struggles with the sisters in our zones so its been crazy!  This week all I wanted was to be home working hahaha trust me I wont want thay very soon but I was wondering why the heck I was here for most of the week!  The zone conferences and MLC was super powerful and full of good reminders. One of my main take aways from the entiee thing was msot powerful to me was when they testified of jesus christ.  Jesus truly is my savior and your savior. He died for my sins (Sooooo many) but because of him I can become better. Im so grateful for my savior. This week just take some time to sit with jesus and see what he can do for you!  Love Like Jesus  Love, hermana  peterson
