Swag

Hi!!!!!!!! Week 1 is done and I've never seen a week go by so fast. This week was super good and eye opening and humbling and all the things.


So because I already know spanish (shoutout Alejandro and Venezuela), I'm only in the MTC for 3 weeks. Because of that, basically everyone in the 3 week program is hispanic or latino. In my district alone we come from 5 different countries. 5! Those are the Dominican Republic, United States, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Mexico. It's sooooo cool. Sometimes they laugh at my white accent when I speak spanish hahaha, but they are super patient when I struggle with some words!! Luckily I'm not the only American or the only one that struggles with spanish. One of the Hermana's name is literally Hermana White lol. It's also been nice to have my last name pronounced right by everyone on the first try.


I also think it is sooooo cool that God speaks different languages, and that the gospel is the same everywhere. The gospel that I'm going to share in spanish is the same gospel that I have friends sharing in english, french, tagalog, and more, in different parts of the world! What???? This is kinda duh but I felt and saw it up close with my district. God is so real!


My comp is Hermana Zárate and she is from Guatemala! She is so epic and tender I love her. She's like the kind of precious that makes you want to tear up, the same way super cute puppies are, ya feel? :,)


I go to Mexico for the rest of MTC on Tuesday and then I'll be in the DR in 2 weeks! Apparently in other countries you have to have a visa to go even visit another country, and some people in my district don't have their visas for Mexico yet! So let's hope that my district and I can all meet in person!!!


My spiritual thought is all of Moroni 7. That chapter is so awesome. It talks about hope, charity, faith, recognizing the Spirit, missionary work, and so much more. That chapter is all encompassing and I definitely recommend giving it a read!! 


Brb talk to you in Mexico!!
Dios te ama!

Hi!! This week was nice!!! I definitely saw some tender miracles this week!! We had a really good lesson with our friend Dagoberto and his wife Risa. He has sooooo much faith and we're just waiting for a few medical things to work out so he can get baptized!! They are so amazing and the spirit that we felt with them this week was so special. That lady that I said gasped during the First Vision is on date now!!!! Her name is Adilka and she's so special. She has so much faith and she said that when she reads the Book of Mormon the feeling she gets is indescribable. I'm so stoked for her. Her whole family are members but inactive and her inactive sister was such a huge help during our lesson to help us get her on a date, it was so funny but perfect!! The inactive sister has started to reactivate so it's awesome. Such a good lesson I just love them. That's about it hahaha this week was good and some frustrating things but that's the mission life I suppose. Good news...

I come home this week. In case you're wondering, yes, I am emo. I'm sad. I can't believe it. I can't believe the time has gone by so quick. My homecoming talk will be  THIS SUNDAY the 17th at 9am  at 550 E 700 S, I'd love to see you there!! There will be food after at Vernon Worthen Park :). This week was so crazy and so awesome. We had the mission tour with Elder Villanueva and I loved it!! We had 2 MLCs with him, and my companion and I are also part of the technology committee, so we had a technology council with him as well! Him and his wife are super cute, I love them and I feel lucky to have heard from them twice on my mission! 3 days full of awesome learning and application. I wish I had more time to apply everything I learned. On the last day he talked a lot about being a disciple of Jesus Christ for our whole lives and I feel like it was a message just for me! I'm super thankful to have made the decision to serve a mission. This experience has truly set ...

Alo!! Koman ou ye?? Duolingo got Creole on it so now I'll definitely come back speaking like a pro thanks Duolingo and textbooks from my mom <3.  This week was average idk. Nothing too crazy. We had some cool lessons and met some cool people!! This is the last week of the transfer and we think Hermana Reategui might leave the area so I'm a little emo about that lol.  We did have a cool experience on Saturday though. We were chillin after English class in the morning and saw that we had some missed texts and a missed call from a random number asking if we were coming and we were like what??? Usually because of English class we don't make appointments for Saturday morning so we were super confused. We called the number and they were like hi are you guys coming??? And we were like who are you? They said "Larimar, remember on the second floor of that house, on such and such road, from Thursday? You said you would come by again Saturday morning did you guys forget?"...
