Wild Wild Wild

Hey! 


This week was kinda wild but so good! The week started out with a trip to the office with the other hermanas we live with which ended in the decision that one of those hermanas had to return home early due to health reasons :(. We were so sad but are so happy for our friend and that she is now getting the help she needs!! Because of such, Tuesday morning we were put into a trio with Hermana Romans for the day until Wednesday, when we'd pick up her new companion. #dreamtrio. My first and probably only time being I'm a trio but Hermana Perry, Hermana Romans, and I are already bffs so it was a lot of fun! Wouldn't want to be in a trio with anyone else!


On Wednesday we had another hermanas activity, but this time with Hermana Chaverri!! I LOVE HER. She went all put and it was SO GOOD. Presidente and Hermana Chaverri have a focus of high love means high expectations, and this hermanas activity was based on high love. The love they radiate is incredible. They inspire me so much and every time I think about the fact that I won't get to know them that long I want to cry ahhhh they are amazing and my role models. 


We had a miracle this week where we had walked down a place we had NEVER gone to before, and when we went there we met a member from Haiti that had JUST gotten here from Haiti to move here, and was trying to find the church! And he's an RM! I just know God led us there! Then he and his brother in law came to church together! It was awesome!


Today has been such an absolutely crazy and insane pday passed in the absolute blink of an eye we had a mission pday and I just don't have much time haha but this next week is also gonna be insane! We have 3 exchanges this week back to back to back and then I'll probably be in a trio again on Friday while Perry goes on her last temple trip with the rest of the departing missionaries. It's gonna be wild!


Here's what I have for this week:


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


This has never hit me so hard than it has while being here on the mission. All we teach as missionaries is just that: God is the same, He's an unchangeable Being. When Christ came to the earth, He established His church. He showed us the way. After His death, things were lost, it wasn't the same anymore. But because He loves us, and is the same all the time, He restored His church in the exact same way He had established it. The same! God doesn't lie, He's so full of love. 


This also has helped me to know that what Christ says in the scriptures applies to me today too. It's always been kind of hard for me to fathom the simple fact that I can ask for whatever (aligned with God's will), and He will answer and provide. If I ask for peace, He'll give it to me! The same way He provided miracles then, He does and will now! The love and care He had for people then, He has for me now! Because He never changes!!! I'm glad that's the God I believe in; one that I can rely on because He is always the same and will be there for me all the time, just like He was for them back then, and He is for you now. 


"9 For do we not read that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and in him there is no variableness neither shadow of changing? 
10 And now, if ye have imagined up unto yourselves a god who doth vary, and in whom there is shadow of changing, then have ye imagined up unto yourselves a god who is not a God of miracles.
19 And if there were miracles wrought then, why has God ceased to be a God of miracles and yet be an unchangeable Being? And behold, I say unto you he changeth not; if so he would cease to be God; and he ceaseth not to be God, and is a God of miracles." (Mormon 9:9-10,19).

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?"...
