Patience

Hello!!!!


Hi guys, how is everyone doing?? This week was good!! 


We have a friend named Jeni with her 2 daughters and they are just the cutest ever and doing SO WELL right now. We walked into their house last night and the 2 daughters (age 9 & 7) ran up to us and one of them told us she read 2 verses in the Book of Mormon, and the other one brought their phone asking where she can download the app that has the Book of Mormon on it. HOW CUTE. We taught them about the word of wisdom and law of chastity and they took it really well!! Jeni told us she wants to work towards getting married!! YAY. They are so amazing and so special!!


We had a baptism yesterday of our friend Kendri! Yay go Kendri. He's got the love for God!


We're working with a family right now that is a slow but sure process. Bernie, the 15 year old son who's progressing the most in the family right now came to church yesterday AND SO DID HIS MOM. They have some really strong beliefs BUT the mom, Krismely, told us that Saturday night she prayed to ask God her questions. That's such a huge step!!!! They are so near and dear to my heart and I have really seen the Lord work in their lives!!! Please keep them in your prayers!


I hit halfway this week que locura!


Alma 17:10-11
   10 And it came to pass that the Lord did visit them with his Spirit, and said unto them: Be comforted. And they were comforted.
   11 And the Lord said unto them also: Go forth among the Lamanites, thy brethren, and establish my word; yet ye shall be patient in long-suffering and afflictions, that ye may show forth good examples unto them in me, and I will make an instrument of thee in my hands unto the salvation of many souls.


These verses!!! So amazing! Really gave me a pick me up this week! There were a lot of times this week where we faced a lot of rejection. And it was honestly a little discouraging! But then I remembered these verses and I regained my hope!! If there's anything I've learned on my mission it's how to develop patience. Patience is literally key. I've had to learn soooo much how to be patient here. Be patient with myself, with others, and with the Lord. It's been hard at times. But when I have exercised patience, the result is always sweeter than the wait. The Lord really does have a plan and I know that as we are patient in all things, He will guide us and the blessings will have been well worth the wait. I've seen it. I've lived it. Be patient this week!! And let the Lord comfort you in your waiting period.


LOVE U MWAH

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?"...
