Sierra Abbott's Mission

Hello Hello, Lol so much happened and yet nothing.  So this week started with a love poem! Our guy we were teaching sent it to us and we were like there are boy missionaries over young single adults that you should meet with. So we will see.  Also I helped build a house! Well we volunteered at Habit for Humanity! So fun! We talked to this guy who is going into documentary film making- it sounds so fun!  I started talking to this person on FaceBook about being an author and they are making it sound like a dream! So now I am like should I be an author or a documentary film maker! Just kidding I would fail at both. Also today was Zone p-day! We went bowling! So fun I love my zone so much!! Exchanges this week! We switch companions for a day to learn and stuff. We have the best leaders ever!!! I visited that area a few months ago on exchanges and had a lesson with a man that I met last time.  He said, "Oh look powder sugar is back!" Look for the little things i...

 This week we went to an Amish community! It was so wild! We met up with this lady I found on FaceBook and she knows a lot about the Amish! So we went with her and her daughter to this Amish community. We went to the store and looked a little around while she told us about them. We gave her a BOM (Book of Mormon) at the end so we will see what happens! But it was so fun and I respect the Amish so much! There was a couple days, right after transfers, last week where it seemed like everything just fell apart and it seemed to be my fault.  On top of that some of my amazing friends that I got to serve with got transferred so my support system got all changed around. So coming into this week I really focused on turning to the Lord. I really focused on have confidence in the Lord and having an eternal prospective. Looking beyond right now and looking forward to the future. I know everything in the future will not be perfect but I can see the blessings I will receive be...

 Happy 2021! New goals are always so important! We should always be making and adjusting our goals.  I love what our mission president always says that "high goals doesn't mean high faith." You should have realistic goals that stretch you. Its "Be ye therefore perfect.... eventually!"  I love this because we are not expected to be perfect right now, its little by little. That is why my goal for 2021 (and the rest of my life) is to become more Christlike. Choose an attribute that you want to have and work on it. Read about it, look for it in others, pray for it, and try to become more like our Savior Jesus Christ.  Not much happened this week This week was transfers. I got a new comp (Sister Gunnell). She's cool, has been an STL (in leadership) until now.  She goes home, to Utah, in May so she still has awhile, but is getting there. She is super nice, but always a little adjusting to a new person and everything. She loves this work and really wa...
