Fun companions, unexpected investigators, and everything in between!

Howdy a todos! How have yall been? I hope yall have been prosperous in every aspect of everything. It's been a roller coaster of a week, but I have been happy during it haha, idrk how that works but it's true. It's been a lil bit wild so grab some popcorn haha.


Let's start it off with the transfer news. Elder John and Elder Sutton both made it home, hallelujah, hoping for the best for them both. Elder Belnap's new greenie is kinda an interesting fella, hes class of 2021 and graduated early, so he loves more than anything to correct grammar mistakes haha. Got a call from President Saturday night, and on Tuesday I'm gonna be picking up my new greenie, guess I'm senior comp and training now yikes. Elder Morris is going out to Weatherford, about as far away from here as you can get.

We've been having a ton of success in the apartment, Bonds ranch has some investigators, and we got a referral that actually came through so we are teaching a lady tonight after p day, so exciting. First Restoration lesson of the whole mission haha I'm pretty nervous.

The part yall been waiting for, the drama. It’s been a challenging last couple of weeks with Elder Morris. I really feel bad for him, but man is he terrible to be comps with. We set apart an hour to talk about our lesson for tonight, and so at 8 last night I was like "eight let's go plan", and he was watching the super bowl, so he was like nah. Fast forward 45 minutes and I once again tried to get him to go prep our lesson, and he was like "wow we only have 15 minutes see what happens when you daily plan by yourself", to which I responded that I would love his help planning if he woke up before 11, he wasn't happy about that.  It's a little ridiculous that he'd be all dramatic for our last day together, just to ruin our one opportunity over the last 4 months. I also had a come to Jesus talk with him, to which he responded by just not talking at all for 4 days straight. It's been rough.

I've been really happy though. I feel like I'm starting to get the ball rolling, and if this investigator comes through, I'm more than down to spend 7 and a half months in my greenie area. Haha yeah I'm gonna be here in Avondale for another 3 months. Unless Argentina opens up which really is just looking less and less likely these days haha.

Funny story. We were at a dinner with a family last night, and they had a ton of kids. We tried to gather everyone together for a spiritual thought, and so I asked do we have everyone? And everyone was like yeah, except the 8 year old was like nah we missing someone. Everybody was like who?? And then the kid was like "the miscarriage" and I had to try and keep a straight face it was so funny but also kinda messed up haha.

There was so much stuff that happened this week haha, I wish I could tell yall the half of it, but yall dont even read my emails as is haha, gonna keep it short. As always if you want more of the details, send me an email. Despite everything, I really am feeling the happiest that I've been on the mission so far, it doesnt make sense at all. Friendly reminder that it's been 6 years since Pete Carroll decided not to hand the ball off to Marshawn Lynch on the goal line haha, never forget.

Anyways I love all yall who read this far, the rest of you dont know it but I love yall too, have a good week, and dont forget that God loves each and everyone one of yall

Love yourz
Elder Larson


                                        Bird and also kids, swear I'm not kissing this kid on the top of his head haha


                                                                            Elder Sutton may he rest in peace

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...

Whats up everybodyy? How yall been? Hope yall had a peachy keen week! Its been a good week here in Independencia, just kinda vibing haha, working hard, enjoying my time in Argentina! 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. Very sad that everything is gonna be coming to a wrap here in a few weeks. As hard as it was, I have learn...

Sup yall? How have yall been doin? Hope that all is going well wherever yall be at! Been a good week, just been vibing out here, working really hard, being obedient and stuff yall already know. 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. Its been tough with our friends they all are really uncommitted to do anything, but you know it happe...
