(I stole this statistics template from my bestie sister Nickell who is currently serving in the Arizona Scottsdale mission, I love you sister Nickell!!)

hey hey hey party people!!

I want to start off by thanking everyone who sent me a letter. (you know who you are) They all meant so much to me! 

Also, I am supposed to be packing right now... sorry mom. 

I have been at home for the past two weeks starting my MTC journey! It has been so much fun! My companion, Sister Hansen, is super cool. She crochets like a boss. I mean this in the most loving way, but she reminds me a lot of my grandma before her dementia started going downhill. I love my grandma and I love my companion! 

We are in the 01-A district, and that is no mistake putting us on top. We are the best. I have two elders in my district who are going to the same mission as me so I'll have someone I know on the plane! 

Some highlights of the HMTC:
- being with my family and dog 
- going to the temple for baptisms at 4:30 AM with my siblings and cousins
- spending last Saturday with my ward's youth
- saying goodbye to my brother and sister-in-law (kinda a lowlight to be honest...)
- actually enjoying learning Portuguese (espanhol é melhor)
- making Mac salad and learning the wisdom of Lorene Erickson 
- spending time with my grandparents 
- watching the Chosen (if you haven't watched it, WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR LIFE?!)
- talking with great friends who are on missions right now and being able to relate with them
- feeling my Heavenly Father's love He has for me more greatly than ever 
- feeling the love that He has for everyone and trying to love like He does
- getting my lightning McQueen crocs #kachow
- finding out that I get to fly out to the MTC with a great friend of mine!!

These past two weeks have been great! I fly out early Wednesday morning to Provo where I will finish out my training for the next four weeks. My P-days will be on Mondays and I would love to hear from any and all of you!! 
Here is my address at the MTC for those of you asking:

God loves you and so do I!
- Sister Peterson ♡

MISSION STATISTICS BOARD Name: Sister Peterson  Mission: Brasil João Pessoa Current Location: Mangabeira 2 Current Companion: Sister Facchini Current Transfer: 6/12 Week: 2/5 Total Weeks: 34/70 Address:  R. João Amorim, 429 Centro 58013-310 João Pessoa - PB Brazil SUBJECT EXPLANATION:  We were walking one night to the church on a road that we've walked plenty of times before and out of nowhere, my companion gets nailed in the head with a rock. Like a full on pedra. Yeah, it was some drugged lady who threw it. #prayforher Sister Facchini is fine and wasn't hurt but it was kinda cool not gonna lie. I'm serious she's fine, she laughed about it immediately after.  WEEKLY LIGHTS:  - Miguel e Vitoria were interviewed for baptism! But they have kinda lost the desire to be baptized. They are 13 and 11 years old but they have the spiritual maturity of 75 year Olds. Please pray for them!! - our friend Jane came to church with us!! She really enjoyed it and the members ...

"I don't speak Portugals I only speak Brasils." : semi-successful

 MISSION STATISTICS BOARD Name: Sister Peterson  Mission: Brasil João Pessoa Current Location: PROVO MTC Current Companion: Sister Hansen Current Transfer: 1/12 Week: 5/6 Total Weeks: 5/75 Address:  03-14 | BRA-JP 2005 N 900 East, Unit #12 Provo UT 84602 United States CADA BELEZA PARTY PEOPLE! How has everyone's week been?!  My subject line is kindly brought to you by Elder Van Tassel and my quote book.  This week's spiritual thought is brought to you by my own stubbornness and President M. Russel Ballard.  Flashback to before I got my mission call. I was so excited to go and serve! I had a sure feeling that I was going to South America, you could ask anyone, I knew I was going to South America. However, I thought I would be Spanish speaking. I had a background in Spanish and am minoring in it at school and overall just love the language. Then I got called to the only country in South America that doesn't speak Spanish. I was in shock for a while which ...
