That I May Heal You

what up!


idk what it is about this area but we just keep getting rejected left and right in the FUNNIEST ways. I swear people think we must be dumb in the ways they try to get out of meeting with us lol it keeps things fun.


This week we had zone conference and it was soooo good!! President talked a lot about obedience! Here on the mission I've come to grow a strong testimony about obedience. I know that when we obey God's commandments we see miracles!! I've experienced it!! 


This last week we've been reading 3 Nephi 9 a lot with our friends. We've been focusing on verses 13-22, talking about how we can come into Christ and why we come into Christ. My favorite part of those verses is found in verse 13:


"will ye not now return unto me, and repent of your sins, and be converted, that I may heal you?"


Ahhh!! That last line alone!!! We come into Christ so that He can heal us. He can heal us from whatever temptation, infirmity, weakness, everything. When we repent and come unto Him, we are allowing Him to heal us, make us better, and transform our lives more than we could ever do on our own. All that's required is a broken heart and contrite spirit. That's it!! Just a desire, just faith! He heals our hurt, our impatience, our sorrows. That's why He came to earth!! 


"for such I have laid down my life, and have taken it up again; therefore repent, and come unto me ye ends of the earth, and be saved."


Christ wants to heal us. He can heal us. We just have to let Him. I've seen His transforming power here, in my own life, and the lives of my friends here. There's no such thing as too far gone. Come unto Him.


Love u guys so much but God loves you more. take a .5 selfie and send it to me ok bye

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?"...
