I Know In Whom I Have Trusted

HELLO EVERYONE.

Happy “Ber” months! That means Christmas has offically started here. Decorations are going up, Mariah Carey is playing. Its getting real. Last time this year I was in the MTC and there was a Christmas tree and I was like huuuuuh?? 

Anyway not a ton to report this week. The work is still going. Even if its going a little bit slow. Time is fast. The progress is slow.

DURIAN

Durian is a spiky stinky fruit from Mindanao. Its stinkyness is infamous. Anyway, I tried it on Monday and I found it to be quite sarap. I liked it so much they gave me my own to take home with me. This is me going through the stages of grief deciding if I like it or not.

TANGALAN X MAKATO DISTIRCT

We all tried Durian and then I snuck the tupperware into one of the Elders bags but I felt bad about it later and had to take it back later because that stuff is STANKY.

I KNOW IN WHOM I HAVE TRUSTED

So I just started a new copy of the Book of Mormon because my last one was falling apart a little bit and had a slight stench. So I got to reread 2 Nephi and I wanted to share some verses that really stuck out to me in chapter 4.

19 And when I desire to rejoice, my heart groaneth because of my sins; nevertheless, I know in whom I have trusted.

 20 My God hath been my support; he hath led me through mine afflictions in the wilderness; and he hath preserved me upon the waters of the great deep.

 21 He hath filled me with his love, even unto the consuming of my flesh.

I can say my mission has been full of so many highs and lows but I know in whom I have trusted. I'm so grateful I get to serve and the more I am refined and tried the more I understand Christ’s love for me.

I love this work. I know Christ lives and I know The Book of Mormon is true.

Hey guys, you are reading my first ever email from Numancia. This past week was lots of goodbyes, bus rides and me not understanding what people are saying. Double thumbs up. My new area so far is super different from my last area in San Jose but I love it here. My new comp is Sister Castañaga and she is the nicest person I have ever met. Anyway, here's the rundown.  LAST MOMENTS IN ANTIQUE My week from Sunday to Thursday was still about normal work wise with some added packing and goodbyes. It was so hard saying goodbye to some of our new converts and so yah I maybe cried a little. My very last day of work in San Jose almost none of our appointments went through and was feeling a little bit the worst. But Sister Pernitez and I (shout out to my daughter she's all grown up and saving China) decided to introduce the Book of Mormon to this lady we met on the street. She was outside this lodge full of drunk men and while we were explaining the Holy Ghost this absolute broski pokes ...

Well, I Made Some Rocks

Hellooooooo it's Sister Larson again. Surprise. It's been a solid week. I had a cold which shouldn't have been that much of a big deal but it had me feeling like one of those frogs that came out in the rain but then got hit by a motorcycle and then dried up in the sun. You know that feeling?  I made a collage to better illustrate. But just like these dead frogs still made this beautiful collage my week was still beautiful and full of miracles. (Picture 1) EXCHANGES A highlight of this week was our exchanges with the Kalibo 2nd sisters! I got to work with Sister Camain who is a girlboss. We met lots of cool people and got some new mosquito bites. (Pictures 2-3) NUMANCIA PEOPLE AND PLACES Numancia never ceases to amaze me. One moment it's dusty beer bottles and factories and the next it's the most stunning sunset over a flooded rice field. But more than the scenery is the people. With that in mind, here are some of the beautiful children of God we taught this week (an...

"Sa Taas"

This week was lots of new and saying goodbye to old. I said goodbye to my companion Sister Castañaga. We were companions for so long so it was like saying goodbye to my best friend. But mostly I'm excited for her and the next few chapters of her life. Palangga ta ka ate Eddielyn. Kitaay sa pagkasal mo. Osoyan mo ro gwapo. I also met my new companion Sister Panuelos and she is sooooo baskog. She is small but fierce. She's straight up with our IPs and members and also literally hilarious. We're still getting to know eachother but she like One Direction so we should be good.  ANYWAY. here's the rundown BYE BYE SISTER CASTAÑAGA  Early Wednesday morning I said goodbye to Sister Castañaga and sent her on the bus to Iloilo. RIP. Saying goodbyes. Also my fit is wack because I didn't do my laundry last week. Please forgive. LAST DCM. we didn't really get any good pics. Last picture together RIP. Enjoy your life without me Sister. Eat some real Ilocano food and hug your m...
