Nice Week

Hi, this week was pretty normal. We went to the temple and asked some people to be baptized!!! Almost all said yes! 


The temple was absolutely beautiful, the DR is hot and I invited someone to be baptized for the first time!! A lot of our baptisms are being pushed back so we're praying that the dates we have as of right now can stay!! I have ANOTHER exchange this week which honestly I'm not looking forward to haha this will technically be my 3rd this transfer and I haven't had the best experiences BUT I'm hopeful and keeping an open mind to try to learn something this time. That's about all I've got for this week! 


Spiritual Thought(s):
Deuteronomy 8:2-3. These verses are soooo good. We need to remember the Lord always!! And there is always something to learn from trials. These verses explain to Israel that there was something to learn from their hard times. And that the Lord is ALWAYS there for us!! "Man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live." We are here because God gives us everything we have. Try to take a second in your prayers this week to say thanks for the tender mercies and little things!! Counting my blessings has helped me a ton this week.


I love you and God loves you more!!!

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?"...
