Hi Everyone!!
My ankle is a ton better so thanks for the prayers. :)
Not a ton of exciting things happened this week. I had my first multi zone conference this week. That was crazy. Everyone knows me because of Elder Larimer. I feel bad because I have to learn so many names and it's harder to remember because I don't see them often.
Everything is good though! Lots of walking. Lately I have been thinking of how grateful I am for all the things I have. People here probably couldn't even imagine how good we have it in the states. We all have different challenges and some things that are hard for us would be easy for the people here and vice versa.
One of my friends from the mtc called his parents and went home...that was crazy. He just quit and decided he didn't want to be here. Another one of my friends from the mtc is having a little bit of a hard time. Im praying for lots of people. The power of prayer is real and works.
Also I fasted yesterday! that was different. I don't know why. it was good. I also got up in Sacrament meeting and bore my testimony. Short simple and to the point. Spanish. It was hard. I have a testimony and I want people to know but Spanish is hard. But I decided because because I was super scared and my heart was beating as I would get up. A la gran!
“A la gran” is a saying they us here when they are surprised or excited. Solely an expression. I think I am going to try to begin to use it this week. Lots of Spanish I need to learn.
I am understanding more and more each day.
My companion has had a stomach ache for a few days. I am a little worried about her but she doesn't care and just keeps working. I don't want it to get worse. Oh well. She is a good example but we need to take care of ourselves as well.
Thank you for all the prayers!! Hug people while you can and hold babies and be affectionate because that is beginning to take a toll on me. So many cute cute cute babies here that I can't hold... ay karumba. It's ok though because I am doing the Lord's work. I can sacrifice holding babies for a year and a half because He sacrificed so much more for me.
Love,
Hermana Larimer
