Happy Face

Hola!


This week was so busy!!!


We were gonna have 3 exchanges back to back to back this week and it all started as planned on Tuesday but then I got such a high fever Wednesday morning which put a huge bump in our plans. But then by Thursday morning I was feeling better and continued the exchanges!! All the hermanas we had exchanges with this week are so awesome! I feel so so blessed to know all of them and be able to learn from them! 


We saw a lot of miracles this week! We had some friends come to church with us yesterday! It was awesome! We're trying to work really hard to help them prepare to get baptized soon!


This is the last week of the transfer which means Perry goes home this week and I'm so sad, I'm gonna miss her so much!!!! I'm so thankful to have had her as a companion, she has taught me so much. But also my next transfer is gonna go ham so I'm excited. 


Another thing I've learned on my mission is that Christ magnifies my efforts!!!


10. Spiritual work works
9. God has a perfect plan, always
8. God truly is the same yesterday, today, and forever
7. Christ magnifies my efforts


My whole mission I've kinda struggled with divine discontent, that gap between who I am and who I can become. A lot of times I get frustrated with myself because of my imperfections and knowing I could be better! It's helped me so much while being here to learn and experience that my imperfect offerings to Christ are perfect in His eyes, and that He will magnify that. Jesus Christ helps me close that gap, and helps me be able to reach my divine potential. It is simply not possible without Him! He helps me look at my potential self with hope and joy, instead of with insecurity and hopeless. 


"27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them." (Ether 12:27)


As I am humble and rely on Jesus Christ, He'll make my weaknesses strong. He'll help me be who I need to be. I'm so thankful He's kind enough and patient enough to help me do so! 


Love you all so much, have such a great week!

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?"...
