Haha! 12 Week Training Program. . .yeah right. . .

I´m having the hardest time trying to send photos. So, the really exciting thing this week was that I survived my first transfer calls last night. But luckily, there were no surprises. Heavenly Father let me know a few weeks ago that I needed to step it up because I was going to be training after 1 transfer. So I started actually answering the phone, starting lessons, and trying to find all of our investigator´s houses without help from Hna Frye. It was just something I knew was coming. I started praying for my trainee specifically about a week and a half ago. So, last night, the district leaders were way more surprised about it than we were. We both just new. We knew that Hna Frye would be training at the same time as opening a new area for Hermanas, and that I would stay in Quisqueya. She´ll be opening Piantini(sp?). Which luckily for me, is a neighbor area to mine. It´ll just feel good to have her close. On Friday morning, I was having a really hard time. I was looking at my 12 weeks manual, knowing that I was only going to make it halfway. What knowledge on how to be the perfect missionary was I going to miss? I was sure that all the secrets on how to actually be good would be found in the last half of the manual. And then we had to watch clips from the District during training time, and normallly I LOVE the District, but that day it just made me feel worse than ever. They´re so perfect, and I will never be that perfect. I will never be able to actually use the right teaching patterns when I´m just happy to understand them and convey the topic we´re trying to cover. I was so discouraged, that I almost started crying as we were reading PMG together. And then we got a phone call from the District leaders saying that we were going to each take out an Hermana from the CCM for the day on an intercambio. And then I did start crying. I was going to have to go out without Hna Frye. Grandma Swan, you are an angel. I got your Courage card the night before from the office Elders, but didn´t open it until right at this moment. It was such an answer to prayers. Hna Frye helped me pull myself back together and get me excited. We split up our appointments for the day and planned what was going to happen so that I didn't have to stress. And Heavenly Father totally knew what He was doing. He sent me the perfect Hermana. She was just a little bit older than me, but she was really good at making me feel awesome. I found that I could communicate and understand what i needed to. And I discovered that I´m a little Hna Frye replicate as soon as I have a little Hna Peck replicate. I did everything exactly like Hna Frye would, down to the exact wording. But at the same time, I also finally found myself on Friday. I haven´t had my own personality for so long, but after actually doing it on my own, Sarah came back!! Hna Frye was so excited. She was like, "I feel like I´m finally meeting you!" So we had the greatest last weekend together, because I´m finally me and we finally understand each other. And mostly we´re finally equal. Because like she said, I grew up on Friday. She´s mostly just pumping me up for tomorrow now, telling me stuff like I was the perfect kid, but she doesn´t know what else she would teach me. I´m so excited to meet Hna Safree (i think??) but I´m so nervous! I want her to like me. I don´t want her to be scared or upset because I´m so new. What if she´s a tigre? I don´t know what I would do! (tigre means someone who´s disobedient, just so you know). I just don´t know! It´s so crazy! But I know Heavenly Father´s been preparing me. I just need to trust Him. Also, with my intercambio on Friday, I felt prompted that I should take Stefani´s lesson. I was so scared too, because she´s hard to understand, but I needed to, so I did, and it was the most spiritual lesson I´ve ever had with her. We´ve started reading together from the Book of Mormon. It´s SO hard, because she doesn´t read without us, she has a really hard time understanding, and there´s so many distractions from neighbors and her kids. She used to yell at her son a lot and hit him, and the Spirit would be so hard to get back. But she´s gotten so much better. I´ll have to tell you more later, Love you lots! Hna Peck
