Think positive, be grateful

What's up everyone?


This week has certainly been something else haha. It's been pretty good in the sense that we have gotten a lot of good missionary work done, so it is going great. Just as I am starting to love the Avondale ward, it is starting to seem like I'm gonna be getting moved to the Bond's Ranch ward here in a couple of days so that's exciting. Still same apartment dw.

The drama in our apartment has continued to progressively get worse and worse, but my goal rn is to focus on the positive. It is easy to get down when you are focused on all of the negative things. I hope y'all turned into the message from President Nelson, that was a super cool message, and shockingly helpful in improving the morale of most missionaries out here. So that was a blessing.

We also had a mission conference this week, and that was awesome. Elder Teh of the 70 was presiding over that meeting, and that was super cool. Elder Teh shared some great and awesome spiritual messages, but I was most moved by President Chapmen's lessons. He is an incredible teacher.

My spiritual 2 cents for this week was from the book of Ezekiel, in chapter 47. This chapter is talking about water which was flowing out of the temple, and it crossed the desert and went into the Dead Sea. In verses 8-10, it says that the Dead Sea is healed, and all life comes back into it. Similar to the waters flowing from the temple, The Gospel has that same ability. That is why missionary work is so important, we bring those same healing abilities to hearts that don't have any hope or to families that are not doing good. The Old Testament is kinda long and boring, but there is a lot of really cool messages in there.

Anyways it has been a great week out here in Texas. Hope y'all are doing well, if you have the time I'd love to hear from y’all.

Love yourz,

Elder Larson

You know I am getting tired of writing up these weeklies haha, but you know i havent missed a weekly in 2 years so imma stick with it haha. Hope yall have been thriving back home and in your missions! Been a good week. The most exciting thing was seeing all of our hard work over the past couple months fall into place, we were able to put 4 baptismal dates for this week, they are pretty solid as well! We need your prayers for Alumine, Jose, Veronica, and Maximo, so that everything goes good for their baps this week!! I am very grateful for all the trials and bumps along the way, it definitely hasnt been easy this week, it wont be easy till I finish the mission, but I have learned to love to work hard. Even when I dont see the results that I want, I love laying down at the end of a long day and saying I did everything that I could have. I love something Pres. Palmieri said yesterday, we dont measure missionary success by the number of baptisms, but by the number of people we invite to co...

We've been walking around all week, its been a vibe, probably walked like 30 kilometros haha. It was good, we saw a bunch of success, found some solid people.  Had some exchanges with the boys in San Ignacio, that was fun. My boy elder Lewis was dying haha, so we had to go save him from his comp. Had some fun lessons, I ran the joke that I was from Chile the whole time and got away with it. My spanish is evolving to a whole other level. Had the baptism of Carlos this week! It was such a sweet experience! He is a capo, so glad I got to meet him and his fam. Literally no one showed up to the baptism, but that happens haha. The water was freezing cold bro, winter sucks here. I'm happy to be here.

Did some exchanges with the boys in Joaquin V Gonzalez, which is a 5 hour bus ride. Muito bom. It was sick, its a tiny town in the middle of nowhere. such sick vibes. It was so chill out there. Thats where you go to catch the Golden Dorado for all yall fishermen out there. Good exchanges tho, really had me remeniscing on my time in Concepcion, I miss those small town vibes. We also had a talent show activity, and we dressed up as vaqueros(argentinian cowboys) and sang "Adios Amor" which is a sad mariache song, it was so sick Ive been vibing a lot with the poncho recently, cuz its been cold. I really rock with the poncho mate mix, way hype. I have been loving the vibes up here recently.
