This week was great!! We had exchanges, zone conference and a lot of time focused on making videos and posts for facebook!!
Being here in Largo right by the water makes driving around pretty awesome. Any direction is the water! I feel pretty lucky! This past week at zone conference President made a few changes! We are no longer calling isolation isolation haha, we are no longer using the word isolation and we are using the word innovation instead! He has done a great job at keeping us so excited to get up every morning.
We had exchanges this past week!! I'll for sure include a picture. I was in Palm Harbor for a day! It is so pretty out there! It is always so fun to go see other parts of the mission and meet other missionaries! I definitely learned a lot! Palm Harbor is an english area too, so it was fun to do everything in english! It was a fun little twist!
Since we had exchanges and zone conference we spent a lot of time outside our area! We were still able to have lessons with our friends which was SO GREAT! Mia is doing amazing and was able to attend our virtual church yesterday! We sang primary songs and read out of a Book of Mormon stories book! We also had a few lessons with our cute friend Patricia!! She is from Peru(I think I said that last week hahaha) but she REALLY has progressed this week! She told us last night how grateful she is for the Book of Mormon and us sharing the gospel with her!! We are excited to continue to meet with her(virtually) haha! She is our best friend and we have a party every time we get to see her on our screen!!
We have spent a LOT of time on making Facebook videos and posts this past week! My companion Hermana Marler and I have a video coming out on the English page "Finding Jesus Christ in St. Petersburg" so you can check us out there if you ever wonder what I'm up to throughout the week! Haha! Our video comes out tomorrow WOOT!
We also have been doing a LOT of service! Us and the elders have started doing service Tuesday-Saturday. We split it up every week on who has what days haha! You could say we are realllyyyyy good car washers!! This week we were able to take out a MASSIVE tree! On mission coordination the elders brought up that they needed a member with a chainsaw to come to a service they found for us and we all started laughing and then got a text Friday night saying we were meeting early Saturday morning to take out a tree haha....and yup there was a member and a chainsaw there ready to work some magic haha! It was so fun!!
I want to share a thought from one of the talks by President Nelson that I read this past week and it's called "Perfection Pending" and boy was it good!! One of the quotes I want to share today is this:
"We all need to remember: men are that they might have joy—not guilt trips!"
The other is...
"let us do the best we can and try to improve each day. When our imperfections appear, we can keep trying to correct them. We can be more forgiving of flaws in ourselves and among those we love. We can be comforted and forbearing."
I love these two quote so much. I am pretty hard on myself and this week was a big eye opener for me that I am here to do the Lords work. The work is very different than it was a few months ago. Something I want to also share with you all was from Zone Conference! We were asked if we believe that God is the same yesterday, today and forever. Then we were asked if we think God can perform miracles and created the world we live in. THEN they asked us if we thought the because of Corona it would change the gospel. This gospel is the same yesterday, today and forever. Just like President Nelson said in his talk, we are loved!! He says "let us try our best". When we try, we give effort! This earth life is an opportunity!!
I challenge all of you to read the talk "Perfection Pending" by President Nelson!
You guys, I love being a missionary! I love this gospel so much. I am grateful for each and every one of you guys!!!
Love you all of BUNCH!!
Hermana King :))
