I Love Being Here

Hey guys, how is everyone???


Yesterday at church we had some new friends, a family, come!!! They came on time and everything and it was so good to have them there!! They enjoyed it all and the members were super welcoming. We have really high hopes for them!


Yesterday at church we also got some good news that we can finally baptize our little friend named Chanela! She's 9 years old and her family are members and she wanted her brother to baptize her but we had to wait a little bit because he was going through a process but the bishop gave us the okay! So we asked her if she wanted to be baptized on Saturday and she said yes! There's a couple other things happening on Saturday in the ward so now we're just hoping we can squeeze in her baptism!!


We have this friend name Diony. I think I've talked about him before, he's so awesome, so ready, so prepared, but he still doesn't want to be baptized. We had some superrrrrr solid lessons with him this week to try to figure out what was holding him back and we got nothing from him. He just said he wasn't ready. We're still working with him and found out some doubts so we hope to help him make that covenant soon so he can feel more of the rest that Christ offers!


I am just so thankful to be here. There is nothing else I would rather be doing right now. I feel so happy to be able to wear the Savior's name on my chest. This is so joyful and there is truly nothing more thrilling than being able to help build the kingdom of God. I love this work and I love my Savior.


 28 ¶ Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30


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?"...
