Week #36 Halfway through my Mission

Hello Hello Hello!

This week was pretty good. We've seen some progress with the work so that's been super exciting. :) My companion is wonderful. We are really learning a lot from each other.

There are two big pieces of news that need to be announced:

1) We are having a change in the mission schedule like a HUGE change! P-day will now be on Wednesday instead of Monday! I am so grateful for this change and really feel like its inspired by the Lord. So I will write in 9 days!

2) I just need to take a moment and be grateful for my time here in the mission as I complete the halfway point in two days, 9 months. Its crazy how fast time goes and I still tell myself daily I need to stop dreaming and wake up. Being in another country is crazy and speaking another language is even crazier. :P but even more than the crazy, I'm grateful. Also, thanks for all the support I've been given. I really feel it, the prayers and the support. :)

I just want to leave you all with my testimony. I know that this is the Lord's work and I know even more important that this is the Lord's Church. He loves us and wants to bless us. The Book of Mormon is true and there is so much we can learn from it. Always learn and grow and strive to be better every day. Sometimes I feel lots of stress because I am such an imperfect person trying to do an imperfect person job, but I know and can testify that the parts that I lack the Lord can help me with, especially when I really strive to do my best.

Now an invitation: the invitation is that this week you can really try to grow your relationship with the savior. Pray more fervently every day and every prayer, read the scriptures with an aching to learn and attend church with a question because I know that you will receive an answer.

Mucho Amor,

Fotos!
Don't know if I sent this photo or not but the Calls in my ward came to visit me so that was super fun for me! (with permission from the wife of the mission president)
There are wild horses outside of our house sometimes that run by and this is one of them!

Week #35 Kitchen Flood

Week #35

This week has been pretty good. Nothing super exciting happened this week so sorry about that.

I've been learning a lot about integrity. I've been reading some talks that the whole mission has been reading so that's been helping me a ton. The work is super good still. I've really been learning a ton from Hermana Buntin. Thank you for all the prayers because i really can feel them. They give me strength and energy. And lots of help basically. Also fun fact this week one of our water pipes broke so we had an ocean on our kitchen floor. :P

I just want to leave you all with my testimony. This work is the Lord's work. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to come on this mission. To meet the people here I’ve met and to work on myself to be better but more importantly to bring souls closer to Christ. We aren't perfect but the gospel is. Read the Book of Mormon every day. Pray every day because Heavenly Father wants you to talk to him. I know that this church is true. I'm grateful I get to learn Spanish. I'm grateful for trials and struggles that bring me closer to Christ and give me opportunities to learn and grow.

Mucho Amor,

Hermana Larimer
