Flight Plans + Advice
Okay so I think I am adjusted now (knock on wood). Sorry for being dramatic about it earlier but the learning curve seriously is brutal. I imagine I’ll probably have a lot to say when I get out into the field and have to adjust to that all too, but you know what they say. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
This week was pretty standard. I did get my flight plans for Orlando though! All of a sudden things feel very real. I will be accepting any and all prayers for me, that I will be able to handle the heat and humidity in Florida. I’m going to be there right at the start of Summer and maybe for the duration of the Summer so… I am scared. I become a version of myself that I’m not proud of when I get too hot. hehe. Did I mention my flight is for the 31st?? Yeah. That’s this month. I’m freaking out. I’ve got 15 days.
We had another French TRC yesterday. It went pretty good but I had to give up the French and Spanish fight and embraced them as one. It’s rocket science for me to try and keep them separated.
Last Sunday my whole family was together including my grandparents and my aunt and uncle!! Everyone went around giving me mission advice so I thought I’d share some of it for all the current or future missionaries that are on here because it was great advice!
- Be present
- Don't wait for the “next thing” to come before being the missionary you want to be
- Soak it up because this is the only time in your life where you'll be able to focus on only one thing
- This is a once in a lifetime experience.
- Hang in there during the difficult times and notice the sunsets, God is always waiting for you at the end of each day
- Be yourself and everyone will love you
- Your empathy for others will be such a blessing to them
- Go with the flow, don't stress to much about how you think things should be, embrace what is
Au revoir a todos, espero que vous passez une gran semana! ;) (hehe)
