  Merry late Christmas everyone!!!  This week was the coldest it has ever been while I've been here! 23°!!!! Good thing it's gonna get back up to 77° on Thursday!!  Got a call this week from a lady saying that some missionaries really connected with her daughter and she wanted them to come back!  We had no idea who the missionaries were so we headed out to her house!!!  Apparently that type of phone call was too good to be true... Before we got one foot out of the car this lady said she had already called the cops and proceeded to cuss us out for a solid 10 minutes :))))))) Thank heavens heavenly father blessed us with a down pour at that very moment!!!  Started to drive away and the rain stopped!! Hehe we will never go back to Duson again. Don't want to get our feet eaten off by her dogs!!!  SARAH GOT BAPTIZED!!! I love her with my whole heart and she is so amazing!!!  Christmas was so so good!  Ate the best brisket of my life and absolutely...

  Quinn XCII dropped a new song. Someone tell me if it's good or not. Please and thank you. Made Lafayette a quad for 3 days and man... it looked like the tornado that hit New Iberia hit our living room and our living room only.  Me and Sister Prince squadded up outside the church in 40° weather to teach Jhonatan about the Book of Mormon.  Favorite quote from Jhonatan that lesson?  "I am proud of this little blue book"  I could not agree more.  I am so proud to go out everyday teaching people about this precious book that our loving heavenly father gave us!!!!!  Sarah's car broke down a mile away from the church??? That's no problem!!! She just had to walk 2 hours to get around all the sugar cane fields to get to the church! If only everyone was as dedicated as Sarah.  Sarah's baptism got moved up to the 20th!! Please continue praying for her to be able to stay strong in not smoking!!! We are so excited for her!!!!  Shae came to church and sa...

I had to say bye to my favorite people of Denham Springs which was so heart breaking. But I have met SO MANY amazing people here if Lafayette!!! Met Sarah on Wednesday and we are having a WHITE CHRISTMAS!! Aka she's getting dunked on Christmas Eve!!!!!!!  Please please please pray for her as she is overcoming her word of wisdom trials.  She got a blessing to help her overcome these trials and right as they said amen she got up and gave all her cigs and her vape to us and said "IM DONE" She then proceeded to walk out the doors BELTING "A Whole New World" from Aladin!!! Sarah is the most spiritual person I have ever met. Everything that happens to that angel of a woman she gives thanks to God. It is truly inspiring how she sees God's hand in her life.  Nchedo is from Nigeria!!! She is here getting her masters while her two girls are still over in Nigeria. She absolutely zonked during sacrament meeting!! Me too girl. Me too.  Shae is my favorite ever! We met he...

  SO MANY miracles on exchanges with Sister Beazer!!  Went to bless Cibrias home, after we PUT HER ON DATE, and as we knelt down, her little boy came and knelt down in-between me and Sister Beazer!  He's my best friend!  Got to go to the temple with the angel Bass kids!  They are absolutely perfect.  As Brother Bass was doing confirmations he would say, "this is my father" or "this is my mother" we felt them there so so strongly.  The spirit was so overwhelming. I wanted to never leave!!  I am moving to LAFAYETTE on WEDNESDAY??? With SISTER STOKES??? An absolute dream if I say so myself!!!! Anyone ever heard of missionaries COMPLAINING about getting fed everyday?  That's been me and Sister Danielson these past 3 weeks. DS1 is an absolute blessed ward but yanno it would be nice to be able to eat some leftovers sometimes!  Next time you hear from me I'll be DOWN IN THE BAYOU!!! YEE HAW!!  <3/ Sister Larsen
