My Eternal Home, A Taste Of Eternity

Hello guys!!


How is everyone?


 I forgot to mention that my comp is also a tall girl! Just 2 tall american women walking around the DR, coming to your door to talk about Jesus!! We dominate here! The comments we hear in the street are so interesting ha.


This week has just been so silly. We've gotten rejected this week in the funniest ways lol. And we've also had the weirdest encounters this week you guys had to be there like what was this week hahaha. It was so funny we were laughing hard the entire week. I'm enjoying my time here!!!


This week we went to the temple!! I LOVE THE TEMPLE. It's my most favorite place ever. I've been super lucky to be able to go to a lot of different temples in different places!! My most favorite thing is that the feeling in each one is the same. I feel peace, love, inspiration, all the good things. I'm far from my earthly home right now, but every time I enter the temple, and sit in the celestial room, I get a glimpse of my eternal home. I just feel super thankful the Heavenly Father allows that! He allows me into His home to learn from Him and give me a taste of what can be mine, and all of ours, when we follow Him! How kind of Him! 


If you haven't been to the temple recently, I invite you to go!! Take a question and ask God to give you some inspiration there! I know He dwells there, no doubt about it. Even just being on the grounds brings peace. 


The temple also brings me hope!! Which is what Elder & Sister Holland's worldwide devotional was about. It was super super good! I recommend listening to it if you haven't already!


"41 But that ye have patience, and bear with those afflictions, with a firm hope that ye shall one day rest from all your afflictions." (Alma 34:41)


Love you so much!

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?"...
