Be Grateful God Is Kind

Hello!!!!


Last week I talked a little about expecting miracles this week and we've already been able to see some!!! 


We had a really good coordination meeting with the branch members yesterday and I think it really helped up the desire for the work. We told them we have high goals, and they told us they'll help us reach them!!! I'm so excited I really think we can work together on this!


Also last night we went to go teach our friend Bernie who at the beginning of the lesson basically dropped us. But we have some powerful member missionaries who helped him a lot to understand a couple things more, and he's really interested again!!! I love that guy, he's 15 and is just so cool and asks the most perfect questions. 


This week I've just been thinking about how good God is. He is just so good!! He loves us so perfectly and I'm just so thankful for a perfect plan He has revealed to us to give us hope and help us through life. It really is just such a testament of His love and mercy. I mean, God so loved the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son!!!! I'm so thankful for that!! 


18 Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.
19 He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
20 Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old. (Micah 7:18-20)


God is so good. He has told us that He's good, and we can't put limits on His goodness. In the Bible, Jonah was mad that God was so good. He thought it wasn't fair that the people of Nineveh were shown mercy. Neither one of us can play judge. We don't get to decide who receives God's mercy or not, He offers it to literally everyone. Please know that God loves YOU. And he delighteth in showing mercy to YOU. No one is exempt from that. I'm thankful He has compassion on all of us. I simply do not want to imagine a world without His compassion. I'm thankful for the restored gospel of Jesus Christ that shows us how much compassion and mercy He has for us. His mercy is shown here like no other. He directs this gospel, it's His. 


Love you guys!!! Stay safe and light the world!!!

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?"...
