Learning & Loving

Hey!!


This week was chill idk haha. It was better. A couple new hermanas got here this week so we had 2 hermanas move in! Hallelujah! They took over one of the areas we were covering so now we're only down to one area and it's been such a relief haha. They're awesome!!


This week was just full of a lot of teaching and trying to get to know the area and people here more. We're slowly cleaning through the area book!


I got to go to a baptism in my last area and it was super good. The closing hymn was "Families Can Be Together Forever" and it just hit me like a truck that I'm literally here to help families be together like what the heck that's so cool!!!!!! Anyways.


I also really felt God's love for every single person this week and it was awesome! God loves YOU! 


Spiritual Thought
My dad gave me wise counsel this week that I wanted to share, and said that everyone has to cross water at some point. Whether it's on dry ground like Moses, building a boat like Nephi, or walking on water like Peter, all 3 with the help of Jesus Christ. Everyone's gotta build their boat or cross the water at some point!!!! And God is there and will provide the means for however we cross!! So are we gonna be like Laman and Lemuel and say it's too hard, or like Nephi and go and do?


"Now when our hearts were depressed, and we were about to turn back, behold, the Lord comforted us, and said: Go amongst thy brethren, the Lamanites, and bear with patience thine afflictions, and I will give unto you success." Alma 26:27


The process of crossing the water might seem hard and it might seem like we will never reach the other side, but we will eventually! I'm still learning this!! Have patience and trust God, HE IS THERE FOR YOU! Thanks Alejandro. 


Also ps the book of Jacob in the Book of Mormon is just super good and amazing and bold and wonderful so you should read it and let me know what you think!!!!


Okay bye!!!! LOVE U!

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?"...
