Week 15 (Orlando, Florida) Gertrude's revenge (Not this time lady ;)

 Hey hey everybody!!

How's everyone doing? As always I'm doing pretty good but this week was kinda a struggle!

Sweets:

- week full of getting ice cream! 

- New friends

- started biking more

- popped off with my Spanish

- went on an exchange with one of my STLS it was so lit!

Sour: 

- honestly this week was pretty sucky. lots of praying to continue going strong and not get discouraged about the things that didn't go as planned. especially with our friends. me and my comp love our friends so so much and it's not always fun to see our friends struggle, so we def had some struggles with not letting mind chatter get in our way!(we'll talk abt that later). 

Pensamiento espiritual:

Now back to mind chatter! In the mission we "take a class" called emotional resilience! And it helps us know what to do when we're stressed or struggling all that jazz. And one of the things we talked about is mind chatter. My mind chatters name is Gertrude. Gertrude interferes the positive thoughts with negative thoughts! But I've learned a lot of how to block out Gertrude. But sometimes Gertrude makes her way into my thoughts and makes me feel upset about the way that I am progressing in the Gospel and in Spanish. But what I've studied a lot and have come to know is this! The lord loves effort! And as long as I give my all and the best I can he will bless my weaknesses and make them strengths! I love being a missionary and am so grateful that I have these months and my whole life to help others find the true gospel of Jesus Christ!


Love you all!
