Livin- Learnin- Lovin- in Louisiana

Update: I never got my package... This week was the BEST week!!!  We had Bolder than Bednar Baptism invite week and it truly was the funnest thing ever to invite literally everyone you see to be baptized!!!  Me and sister Jenkins invited 100 people and the whole mission invited 4,500!!!!  One lady's car window was down while we were at a stop light... I rolled down my window and said our little spheel and invited her to be baptized!!!! The light turned green.... She yelled out her window "MY NAME IS HELEN JOHNSON LOOK ME UP IN THE PHONE BOOK"   God is good and we got stopped at another light and we got her number!!  BBB!!!  Called our friend Emma a couple weeks ago and she has met with the missionaries before and was even working towards baptism!!  We finally got back in contact with her and had an amazing lesson with her and her boyfriend Chris!!  We taught them the restoration and as I was reciting the first vision the both had tears stream...

Yeah so its 10:20 and my dad threatened that my mom wouldnt send my package this week so here I am!! We finding nations out here and got 9 people to church!!! We had more people for mothers day than we did on Easter!  Guess it's important?? Hehe I'm so grateful for mama Jenny fr!  It's getting hot and it's getting humid and I am straight vibing!!!  I won't mention how many stops we took to the soda shop but let's just say there were a couple!!  They my homies now 😤 Percy met us downtown and didn't have a ride home...  He was in the hospital earlier that day and he still made it to meet with us :')  Prayed so so hard that he would make it home safe!!  He did :p  Had to bag 900 pounds of raw chicken this week. I never want to eat chicken again... Pray that I can write 24 more of these things and that I can keep up the entertainment 🙏  This one's for you dad... and my package.. Love you all!  <3/ Sister Larsen  

  Shout out to mom for making me do piano for 10 years!  There was a piano on campus in a random stairwell!!!  Did I really whip out Still Dre? Yes. Yes I did.  Did someone really hear me play Snoop Dog?  Also yes.  They are now being taught in Ruston!  Thanks Snoopy!  Met T McDuffy at Walmart and instead of her number she gave us her email!!  Man I love the south.  Street contacted into Kerstain! Homeboy used to be a Paganist...  Then a Satanist... Now he's a Christian... Bapcostal to be specific!!!!!  Homie lives with his Baptist preacher grandpa and grandma! Grandma came out and said "oh Kerstain you don't want to talk to Then, give that pamphlet back. They don't believe in Jesus" then proceeded to say that she's Baptist and that we are going to hell!!!!  I thrive in these instances because I get to show the name I wear on my chest and just be the nicest person ever and then they are left with nothing to do except slam ...

  You heard it here folks!  We are in a middle of a gang war up here in El Dorado!!!  Please pray for thus cute lil community!  4 shootings and a kid died from having drugs laced with Fentanyl.  on LOCKDOWN for 3 days and now back to our normal routine and BETTER THAN EVER!!!  We had a lesson on Mosby Street on Friday and for some reason we felt like we shouldn't meet there so we had Percy meet us down town!  That night, there was a shooting on MOSBY street.  Isn't God so good????  Called Christine and she was straight up hyping us up as missionaries and that we "gave up our lives to come teach people the TRUTH"  Yes ma'am we are and I'm so glad you know it!!!!  About 5 people we invited to church said they were getting baptized in a different church!!!!  Great act of faith guys!  (Pls listen to that audio recording at the bottom. Truly made my day.)  Got to drive to Baton Rouge on Monday and come back Wednesday!...
