Da Book a Norman

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 streaming down their face. 

It was such a cool experience! 

Got to go play uno with old people for an hour. 

That is my new favorite thing to do!!! 

Sister Jenkins told one of the lady's to say "uno" when she had one card left and homegirl yells "ZERO!" 

Made my day for real!!! 

Alright hear me out...

$0.99 CORNDOG DAY IS MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY IN THE WORLD!!!! 

So of course I had to get 2!! 

Anyone remember the soda shop that magically appeared here in El Dorado?

Homie that owns it thought he was so clever in his ideas of flavored soda but little did he know...

I suggested he get mountain dew and he absolutely ate it up!!!

He loved my idea so much there is now a drink called the sister Larsen at wildcat energy on the square in downtown El Dorado Arkansas!!!

Us missionaries are in that soda shop at least 3 times a week! 

And FINALLY the owner was like "okay but really what is the difference between baptists and what you believe" 

We had the most fire conversation about the Book of Mormon and the Priesthood. 

All those sodas really paid off!!! 

Went to knock some doors with Sister Nash and we walked up to some people who were outside but leaving so they didn't want to hear anything we had to say. 

But a little girl was sitting outside and was like "I'll go get my mom" 

UHH OKAY!! 

We had the most fire discussion with them and turns out the little girl Sarah Jane is in the same class as a kid from our ward. 

Blessings on blessings. 

We then went to visit an inactive member. 

He has moved but his mom and sister were sitting outside and let us in.

Let me tell ya I have never needed to take a Xanax more in my life on the real tho.

We had family fued blasting in the background...

Kathy telling us about all of her medical problems...

Dawn yelling about how she feels betrayed that she was raised pentecostal...

All while their little rat dogs were licking the backs of my arms. 

I finally yelled "OKAY IMMA SHARE A SCRIPTURE NOW" 

Shared it and luckily we had a meeting to get to so we got out of there. 

Me and Sister Jenkins decided we wanted a blizzard but the other sisters had the car so we really walked 30 minutes so I could get a cotton candy blizzard!!!!!

DQ is SO LAME and they were out of cotton candy :((((((

Became chefs this week and made omlettes, chicken wraps, Taco fries. 

6 months to sexy here we come!!!

HOW DO I ONLY HAVE 6 MONTHS LEFT???? 

We got to go to the temple on Saturday and do baptisms with my bestie girl Brenda!!! 

I have definitely taken advantage of having a temple 10 minutes away back home. 

We had to drive 5 hours there and 5 hours back!!!! 

Oh so worth it tho!!

She was so nervous before going in but when she got out she just kept going on and on about how peaceful it was in the temple!!!! 

God is so good and I have a firm testimony that He is so aware of each and every one of His children!!

Konner and Wave got married this weekend and I had major fomo and it was a lot harder than I thought. This whole week was a drag but was also full of so many incredible miracles and was such a good week! 

Even tho I missed the wedding of the century I know I am right where I'm supposed to be!! 

And I have Wave as my sister now sooooo it's a win win!!! 

Sorry for the novel!! I remembered so much that happened this week HAH! 

LOVE YOU ALL!
