"When You Say You Have No Time For God, That's Like... Crazy!!!"

Hi!!!!

The quote is from our friend Wed in a phone call we had with him in English and a Haitian member who also speaks English and it was the funniest call ever. At the end of the call Alix (member) asked Wed "so do you have problems with immigration?" *pause* Wed: "Are you talking to me?????" Then told us "don't worry bro I have my passport and my visa." That doesn't really do it justice haha but it was sooooo funny we were dying.

Unfortunately not a lot of our friends are coming to church lately, so lame, but we prayed for a miracle and saw one yesterday!! There was this old guy named Maximino that Hermana Perry and another Hermana found on exchanges and invited him to church! Then Perry lost her agenda and his info was lost, so we still tried to go back on Thursday but no luck. Then there we were at church when a member was like hey is this guy one of your friends? And low and behold it was Maximino!! He came and loved it and wants to come back next week! All the members were super friendly to him too!!

Other than that not much happened haha.

Honestly the motivation to write these is decreasing but I'm staying strong... barely hahaha. I don't have a lot of time to write this but here's what we got for number 9:

10. Spiritual work works
9. God has a perfect plan, always

There's been so many times on my mission where I've been like what like why did I get transferred or just trying to find the purpose in the area I'm in. Every time I think that, God shows me why!! Every area I go to, every little thing that occurs, I just learn that this is exactly where I'm supposed to be, and it's all part of God's perfect plan. He is so cool and so tedious. A lot of times I don't really understand but He is SO patient with me and helps me understand. His plans are so much better than my plans, so much better. 

"But behold, all things have been done in the wisdom of him who knoweth all things." (2 Nephi 2:24)

Nothing happens without God knowing. I think His church is so cool, especially being here on a mission, because I get to see exactly how His hand orchestrates everything. The places I go, the people I meet, the situations I'm in. He orchestrates it all. There's just no such thing as coincidences, especially here. That's how I know it's His work. His plan is so so perfect. Trust in His plan. We literally cannot comprehend His perfect plan with our natural eyes but please trust it, trust Him. The best is yet to come, even if we can't see it yet, He has so much in store for us, keep going!!!!!!

"Ye cannot behold with your natural eyes, for the present time, the design of your God concerning those things which shall come hereafter, and the glory which shall follow after much tribulation." (D&C 58:3)

LOVE YOU ALL. Give me a status update!!

Of A Good Courage

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?"...
