AWKWARD MOMENTS

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 embarassing moment turned out to be worth it lol. 

Another stinking embarassing thing that happened this week.. so its like late one night and i was tired and it had been a long day. Im driving home and we are like 5 min away and all of the sudden our car started honking and and lights were flahsing. Like when you click the button but I was literally driving down the road. I didnt know what to do so i just kept driving. It wouldnt stop. Until we pulled into park and turned the car off then all was well again. Idk what happened but I drove 5 min with the horn going off and the lights flashing. I probs should have pulled over but you know how it be lol

This week i had to give an training and one of my favorite quotes I shared was from PMG and it says: " The words disciple and discipline come from the same root word that means “learner” or “pupil.” To be a disciple of Christ means that you seek to follow Him and keep His commandments. It means that you consistently learn and teach of Christ." 

This hit me. The word seek stood out to me! When I think of the word seek I think of going out of my way to find or do something. My goal this week is to seek opportunities to learn and teach of Christ! Join me if you want :) 

I am grateful for my savior. I am soaking in the time I have to serve him! He is my best friend my healer my reedemer. I love Him. 

Love Like Jesus 

Love, hermana peterson 

Ps: GO KREW WITH THE DUB + GO KAIT

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...
