Sister Peterson's Idaho Pocatello Mission Blog: Week 13: Robbing, Breaking, and Entering

Hola everyone! I hope everyone has had a good week, and I hope everyone is keeping up with #LightTheWorld!!! As a missionary, it has been super cool to share this Christmas initiative with everybody, and to follow up and see the joy that it brings to everyone to do service and to draw closer to our Savior. As a missionary, I do a lot of service for others. My entire 18 month period is just me doing service for the others around me, whether they accept my message of the gospel or not. I've really grown to appreciate the work that I do and the services I perform over this past week, especially as I've tried to share Light the World with others. I can promise you guys that, as you do Light the World and do more service for others this Christmas season, you WILL grow closer to our Savior and that your life overall will be better.

Our zone leaders volunteered us for bell ringing

Speaking of service, the meaning for this week's email is that we helped the Spanish elders do some service for some people in their area this week. This lady (who is the sister of someone in the branch) was moving to a different house so she could be away from her abusive husband. So when he wasn't home, we all snuck in and took all of her things and loaded them into a trailer. So basically we helped her rob her husband. Then, when we were driving to her new home, no one had any keys to open the door, so we had to break a window and jump through the window. So we also were doing breaking and entering. Awesome

Our neighbor's dog ran into the house lol

Also, I got to go on exchanges again this week, and I got to lead my area, which means I finally got to drive our car!! It was actually kind of freaky because we have a very new car, and I haven't driven in like 3 months so I didn't know how it was going to go. But it was actually pretty great! My STL actually served in my area when she first came to the mission, so she already knew where everything was and who all the people were. So I didn't have to *completely* lead the area, thank goodness. Tender mercies are so real!!!!!!

Missionary work is very hard, I'm not going to lie. But it's all good because God knows us perfectly and exactly what we need, and this mission is definitely what I need in my life right now. Love you guys, hope everyone has an amazing week!
