EGGS-D!

 Hiii everyone!!!


It feels like I have been at the mtc for 7 years but I haven't even been here 7 days! The days are veryyy repetitive! But I have been having a blast here at the mtc!!! I love my district and I love my comps!!! 

Tuesday I got to go to lunch with Elder Allen!! His comp has a swaggg Australian accent! It was so fun to see him before I left!!

On Wednesday we headed to the mtc! I still don't know how I was feeling during that drive! We stopped and got me one last fiiz :( people ask what I am going to miss the most... it's definitely fiiz! We stopped at the temple then went to the mtc! When Kaden left I wasn't even able to get out of the car but everyone got to get out and say bye to me which was nice! It was such a whirlwind getting checked in and everything but it was so fun to see my comps!! It was nice knowing someone going into the mtc it took away some nerves! It was a long first day but it was good! 

Getting up at 630 everyday still wrecks me and they have ZERO caffeine here. Like I'm talking caffeine free diet coke. So I will take any donations for caffeine of any kind ;) I get so tired during the day that at like 7:00 I'm asking if it's 10:30 yet! But it's been good to be on a schedule and not going to bed at 3am! 

Today we got to go to the temple as a district! It was so cool to be in a room of just missionaries! It was such a cool experience! I love the temple!! 

We had some awesome lessons this week! One of them was a silent lesson on the atonement. I always love silent lessons because it is just me and my thoughts and I can feel the spirit so strongly!! This Sunday we had something called a "go and do" experience! The mtc president chooses a topic of study and all the missionaries get 2 hours of personal study time on this specific topic! This week's topic was "God's character and love"! Some people think of heavenly father and Jesus Christ as two very separate and different people but, it is as if heavenly father came down himself. Heaven fathers love is the exact same as Christ's love!! 

After our silent lesson there was an incomplete sentence on the board. It said "because of Christ, I can..." and we got to finish the sentence! Here are some of mine: 
Because of Christ, I can...
- be forgiven
- make mistakes 
- love big
- feel peace 
- always have a friend
- have a reason to keep going
- find light
and so many more!!!

My purpose as a missionary is to invite! Sooo this week I invite you all to finish that sentence for yourself! It can just be one one thing or a whole list! Heavenly Father loves you so so much! Look for ways he shows his love to you! I can promise it will give you a whole new perspective!! 

LOVE AND MISS YOU ALL!!!

Love, Sister Larsen!

We back babyyy!  This week did a whole lotta bikin thats for sure!!!  At least we have unlimited miles 😎 We have been working alot with inactive members because there are SO MANY of them here in this town it's crazy!!!  We've had some funny experiences with some of them!  We went and visited James who got baptized back in the 80's but a week after he decided he is part of a different religion?!?!  Asked him where he stood rn and he said he be a Jedi-ite! It's exactly what you are thinking right now... he believes that there is a force which has a light side and a dark side!  I was mind blown!!! I was just trying to be respectful and not laugh because truly that is the most pathetic thing I have heard on my mission!!!  We texted another member and asked how he was doing and he goes "not good. I just lost all my life's savings betting on college football last night and my cat died"  Oh...  Continues on to ask if he can get his tithing back......
