Job Is Inspiring

Hi!!


This week was good! We had a super good district council that just fired me up. We talked about how we can fulfill our purpose more and everyone had really good things to share.


We also had exchanges this week and for the first time actually enjoyed it. I learned sooooo much and it was just a really good experience honestly. I'm so pumped to apply the things I've learned.


I've been realizing this week that the only way I'm gonna find joy in this transfer is literally throwing myself in the work so that's what I'm trying to do haha. All the things I've learned this week have helped me learn to do so. To focus more on my purpose, fulfill it more, and how to find joy in the work. My comp and I definitely made some progress this week too, we weren't really seeing eye to eye, but we've bettered our relationship this week! We've been working super hard these last couple days. The rest of this transfer is about to go crazy, I can feel it. I'm so ready to get the ball rolling. 


This week we invited some friends to come unto Christ through baptism and man. That is just so special. We invited our cute friend Yulisa and I felt the spirit probably the strongest I've felt in my life, I was like on the verge of tears just hearing her say yes and that this was something she wanted. During that lesson I just realized why I'm here and it was just so impactful to bear testimony on why this church is true, how it's blessed me, and how she too will be blessed. Idk how to explain it, the Spirit was just so strong and I'm just so thankful to be here.


Anyway idk what else, this transfer and this week have just been such a learning curve. I feel so much gratitude.


Spiritual Thought
JOB!! I love the story of Job so much. Talk about faith. That man definitely had it. He went through ittttttt and kept his faith and trust in God. Life isn't easy. Job got everything stripped away from Him back to back to back. It doesn't make sense. He was just and upright. He had a lot of questions!! Andddd they didn't get answered. But, Job did get an answer that God is there and aware of Him. This is so applicable to our own lives. We all have questions and we all suffer, and at some point or another, are gonna go through a time of major suffering, a time where we might question whether God is there for us, a time where we have to really acknowledge our faith and decide what we believe. I promise and testify that God is there for you. Through everything. Turn to Him and take your dispair and questions to Him in prayer. He is always listening. Christ is the only one who understands exactly what you're going through. So trust Him. And love those around you a little more this week. Sometimes words don't or can't explain how to console someone's grief and bear someone's burdens with them. Sometimes we just have to be like Job's friends at the beginning of his story: "So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great."


Love you all so much <3

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?"...
