September Christmas

Hola hola 



Something fun we did this week was celebrate a mini Christmas as a house. We all love Christmas so we decided to celebrate it on Sunday as house because we wouldn't all be together for the real Christmas! We did a fun little gift exchange and of course reflected the greatest gift to ever exist, Jesus Christ. We watched videos of the birth of Christ, and reflected on how amazing He is. I'm so thankful for our Savior!! We also had yummy treats! I love the Hermanas I live with!!



Met some cool people this week! Nothing too crazy happened this week. We're just trying to filter through everyone to find those who have a desire to progress! 



Spiritual Thought

Some super comforting scriptures in Isaiah this week!! Please read some chapters if you get the chance!! Here's some verses I liked: 



 Isaiah 41: 10, 13

   10 ¶ Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

   13 For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.



I read these scriptures at the most perfect time. I'm thankful for the scriptures to remind us of the goodness of God, and that even when it doesn't seem like it, He is in every detail of our lives. Every single one. Fear not, He is there. He has not, and never will, forget you. Hold His hand!



Also general conference is this week and I'm SO EXCITED. Watch it if you get the chance!!



Sorry this email is kinda boring oops

Love you all, thanks for everything! Reach out if you get the chance!

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?"...
