Sister Peterson: I just barely found the rec room and it's been 10 days

Hey everyone!! This week was insane. I'm happy to report that volleyball and basketball were a success last week!! Super fun. Today we get to go to the temple! I'm so excited!

Funny things:

*My companion and I got attacked by a bee while we were trying to swipe a card and get the door open and we were not having it! I blame her cute sunflower dress... anyways, some dude came to the rescue and then the bee attacked him! All three of us were freaking out and laughing our heads off and he FINALLY got the door open.

*I was eating an ice cream sandwich with a fork so that I wouldn't get messy and apparently that's not normal. My district made fun of me for a couple days. Elder Bateman said that he wanted to be trendy and join me, so we got a picture! I'll include it at the bottom.

*We picked up the new missionaries and my arms were tired from carrying suitcases upstairs and I had heard that there was an elevator in one of the buildings, so I took the girl over and we found it!! I was so happy until we got out and realized that we were on the other side of the building... we had to go all the way around the building and lift the suitcases, that she paid extra at the airport for, up 3 flights of stairs. Don't try to take shortcuts. Lesson learned.

*I walked out one night in my tiger nightgown (that my mom loves so much) after we picked up the new missionaries and were going to bed, and all of the new girls laughed at me, so mom... it was a good thing I brought it because I brought some joy to people that needed it ;)

*We had to clean up a huuuuge tarp and a bunch of chairs after a devotional and there was a really short dude that looked like he hated his job yelling at us. One of the elders tried to lighten the mood and did a Shrek accent and a bunch of others for us! I don't think the short dude appreciated it as much as we did...

*On Sunday they made us wait until 5:15 pm to eat because we were fasting. The cafeteria wasn't even open until then! At 5 we all went and stood at the doors like puppies because we were so hungry, and let me tell you, being early brings blessings! We got our food and as soon as we sat down a HUGE group of missionaries ran in *literally* ran!!! The line was the longest I had ever seen! 😅

*The crazy girls left this week along with our entertainment, but that's okay. The new girls are awesome too!

*We finally found the rec room like I said and it's been 10 days 🤦‍♀️ we played a killer game of Foosball and some around the world ping pong. We're pros 😎. Haha.

I got my flight plans!! I'm leaving on Tuesday at 3 in the morning from the MTC! It will be just like old times when that's when I was starting to go to bed. YAY! Florida here I come! 🌞

Here's my spiritual message to you all. Rely on Jesus Christ. He can help you through anything. He knows exactly what you're going through. I know personally from this week that when you are having a hard time, He is there and will answer your prayers. I am definitely not the best teacher, but I know that I am out here for the right reasons and that His grace will make up the rest. I love you all! Here are some pictures!
