This is me looking at the dengue/ rat soup. Candid moment. Then I ran away from Sister Arnold. Character Building. 


CONDOLENCE SANDWICH
(see pictures)

We dropped by one of our baptisimal candidates this week to confirm a family home evening and when we got there he was low key weird. But he was super excited and told us how he had stopped smoking cigarettes. Then we got closer to his house and saw the party and Tanduay going on inside. I was like “hey brother, did you drink alcohol?” and he was like “no” and then he threw his head back and did a joker style laugh. And I was like “you sure brother?”. Anyway, he ended up giving us sandwiches with semi cooked pasta and butter on the inside and we had to just like hold them because we didn’t want to throw it away or anything but it was not giving sandwich. Then we met a member who wanted to take a picture with us but we were still just holding our sandwiches and low key trying not to cry. Anyway. We are working to get him rescheduled for baptism but everyone pray for him.

Gurrrrrllllll I have got to work on my rbf. I swear I was happy to be there. I look like someone just killed my puppy.

MLC is always a revelatory experience. The things President shares always answers one of my personal questions or concerns of my area. I'm going to miss it.

ONE MOMENT MISSION

We had a “half day” mission in Jaro first and I got to work with Sister Figuracion and some of the baskog nanays. Thats the whole story.

ACCEPTABLE TO HIM

This week I have been reflecting a ton on my mission and sometimes I feel like maybe I  didn't do enough. Pero I read in Doctrine and Covenants this week in section 124 and the very first verses were exactly what I needed to hear.

I know not only missionaries feel this way and God's response to Joseph Smith is applicable to anyone giving their best. He hears your prayers and in answer to them he says look outward. “Immediately” preach His gospel and share his love. Looking outward is the best way to find yourself.

Numancia Baby

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...
