 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 wants to follow the rules which is amazing. I feel kinda bad, this week I feel like I dumped so much info about people in this area on her. Lol but she is getting it so quick! 


Proverbs 3:26-
"For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken." 

This is so powerful! This is talking about how even if you don't have confidence in yourself, someone else, or a situation- it's ok because you can have confidence in the Lord! He is there for you. That is if you believe it or not, He is there for you. If you don't believe me, pray and you can feel His love, present, and compassion for YOU. 
 
He also has confidence in you. If you believe in Him and are trying your best, nothing is impossible. Trust in Him with all of your heart, might, mind, and strength! It doesn't mean you will not have hard times, it means you have someone to go through those hard times with. That is the biggest thing you could ever hope for. 

Love you,
Sister Abbott

 This week has been a week of miracles! We scheduled more lessons this week than maybe all of this before time put together! The past couple of days we have 8 lessons scheduled!!!!! Only 1 happened, with a member, but hey that is what Jesus Christ did! He left the 99 to find the 1!  Another miracle! One of the sweet members ordered us Dominos! Pizza is amazing! Also the STL's (Sister Training Leaders) brought us a couple of things! So much love from all the people!!  In case you are wondering why others are bringing us such, my whole district is currently quarantined. Most of us tested positive for COVID, but all of us are doing good and the Lord is blessings us all the time! I am quite tired and have most of the symptoms of COVID, but I'm doing OK. Sick or not Pizza and carmel apples are Amazing! I also tried Carmel apples for the first time, so that was fun!   President Nelson's message here is so amazing https://youtu.be/i51gcWCs-Ho

 Hello, So an amazing thing happened today! We went to a gas station to get me a soda and a soft pretzel. We went to pay and the sweet cashier lady payed for it! We were shocked and was like thank you! We were confused because we tried looking her up and didn't find her, so maybe we have to go back to the gas station!  Also fun thing- the elders we are in a ward share have Covid and the sisters in our district too... and transfers are tomorrow and we were supposed to loose the other sisters and be in an all elders district except for us. But it's all good. Tender mercy's are everywhere! The Lord sends people in our lives at a specific time and reason! I total believe this! So many times this week it has been made evident! So many stories to share but so little time!  Message of all of this email!!!  You have people that love and care about you! God is our loving Heavenly Father! He loves you more than you know!!! Things happen for a reason and sometimes...
