Dearest Familia,
Well this week we have transfers and I will start my last transfer in
the mission! That's pretty crazy. I'm going to be staying here and
dying in Beloit. I get to finish training Hermana Diaz, that'll be
great! It helps me to stay focused, because I am trying to figure out
how to help her. It also super strange to be starting my last full
month of the mission this week. But April is going to be a month of
miracles. Hermana Diaz and I have set some awesome goals that are
really going to help us stretch and do all we can in this last month.
I'm excited to see the miracles come!
I also learned an interesting lesson this week about receiving daily
bread from Heavenly Father. Being towards the end of my mission I
can't think very far into the future or things get a little foggy.
Recently I read this amazing talk by Elder Christofferson called "Give
us This Day our Daily Bread" and it has really helped me. It talks all
about how in life we are always told to prepare for the future, and
what's coming and while that is good, sometimes we just need to focus
on the day to day, and seek daily bread from Heavenly Father. So
lately I have just been trying to seek daily bread from Heavenly
Father, and not focus so much on getting through all the way to the
end, or the week, but getting through the day. To be able to focus to
the end of the day and do what the day requires of me. I'm trying to
be as diligent as I can and work as hard as I can. I want to see
miracles and I want to leave my mission the best I have ever been.
Also, I'm studying Portuguese, I can't remember if I told you that,
it's pretty hard. Totally different then Spanish in the speaking, but
yet really similar. We are teaching in Portuguese, so I'm learning.
Who knows maybe I will come home trilingual. Lol :p
I love you all. I am excited to see you soon! :) fight the good fight,
all the way to the end.
❤️Hermana Simmons
