Peterson, Kamryn

I know I am gonna get hate for this but I am going to say it anyway. IT IS FREEZING. You would think the world was ending here since it showed and its cold. Literally Floridians don't know how to handle themselves. It's a mad house lol. Everywhere you go they ask CAN YOU BELIEVE FLORIDA GOT SNOW?!?!?!  This week was a lot of lats ! I had my last zone conference. I had to give my departing testimony. My last zone r+r (zone exchange)! It's getting real and it's crazy!  Our friend Oscar got baptized on Sunday. He is 87 years old. He is crazy. I am not gonna lie. I never thought he would be baptized. BUT HE LOVES THE BOOK OF MORMON. And his entire life he has had the desire to be baptized so im glad he got to! He refuses to call me Hermana Peterson, he calls me Kamelia. We asked him why and he says it's because I'm the most beautiful person he has seen in his entire life and the Kamelia flower is the most beautiful flower bahahahah. He is psycho. I forgot to mention...

Hello again! I hope you are all doing good. This week was good! We were super busy which is good! We had some meetings and some other things going on which made the week go pretty fast!  We had a zoom meeting with Elder Renlund which was good! He did a Q+A. What I loved most was that he centered everything on the savior!  This week we met some really cool new friends! We also had so many members meal.... trying to soak it all in. Even the member meals. This week there were so many times where it hit me in the face that it almoat over. All I could think of is the song "You're gonna miss this" Trace Adkins  Honestly this week I have been thinking alot about my mission. The good, the bad, the hard, the JOY, the heartbreak, the success, the failure, the change, the stress, the spiritual, the growth, the homesickness, the love, the laughs, the smiles, the food, the people, the places, the stories, the friends, the best times, the worst times, and all the little in betweens. I ...

This week was a crazy one. We were stuck inside for a few days... #sickvibes. But all is well. Last week at church we had 11 friends so our goal this week was to beat that! We were praying super hard to find people who would come to church and God provided. We had 14 friends at church!  I had kinda a funny experience at church that turned into a miracle. After trying to help our friends connect with members and go to class we finally had 1 friend left. Here is where the funny embarrassing moment happens. There was an hermano in the hall so I called him over and inteoduced him to out friend. I told him thay our friend wants be baptized and if he could share his experience with baptism. Turns out he is not a member. But comes to church every week. Soooooo he just went silent and quietly said i am not a member... Well the miracle was he told me that he has been praying and asked us to come visit him and his family so he can be baptized! He will be getting baptized super soon! So my em...

Happy New Year!!!!  Sooo we either called visited or texted every single member in our ward this week and in total got 3 responses. It was a frustrating week. Lots of wondering what the heck to do. Our 4 most progressing friends moved this week. So we had to send them. We had HOURS everyday that were empty so we were praying hard to know what to do. Anything we tried wasn't super succesful. We are putting in the effort and all we can do is keep working! I know that somehow things will start workking out according to Gods plan and not mine.  Dont worry though everyday this week God sent me some super pretty sunsets.. good reminder to me that God is so good!  This week I was thinking about this new year and what is going to happen! There are so many things that I have no idea about. But I do know that the lesson I continue to learn on my mission is that Gods Plan is always greater than mine no matter how great my plan seems to be! So this year I hope to let Gods plan happen...
