Hayyy baby girl!

 Had to say bye to my bestie Sherman and I am so sad about it.

Had the best last day with him &&& he got his temple recommend. 
Sobbing. 

Made it to the swag state of Arkansas!!!!
Had to drive 5 HOURS?????
First day drove down a dirt road, listening to some Garth Brooks with a fire sunset and man oh man I love it here!!!! 

There are rolling hills here and I have not missed them while we are biking.
But it's so green and just so different than anything else i had in Southern Louisiana! 

Met Haley and her little 4 yr old boy Emmet!!!
Haley is the definition of a Sweet Caroline country girl!!! 
Emmet walked ran out and said "HEY GUESS WHAT, I HAVE A CUTE BUTT, LOOK!!!!!" 
Boy was butt naked 🤝

Had to speak in sacrament meeting this week!!!
Hadn't even got one foot in the door and they asked me to speak!!! 
Sister Jenkins knew the whole week but decided to tell me Saturday night!!!! 
I made it thru though!! 

Had two people come to church,
James and David.
James is Ms. Glens ex brother in law.
Same with David...
Two different marriages tho!!!!
Ms. Glen knows everyone!!!!

Our recent convert Ms. Brenda
Also Ms. Glens cousin..
Is a FIRE BALL AND I LOVE IT!!! 
She texts us every morning to check in on us like our lil second mom! 
Ugh I just love her! 

Introduced myself to members on Sunday and almost every single one goes "let me guess you're from utah" 
....
Yes. The best state that is still getting dumped on and I'm missing it. 
I'm not bitter. 

Quad life is the best life!
Living w my bestie Sister Jenkins is a dream.
The people here are amazing.
El dorado is the cutest middle of nowhere town ever. 
I LOVE IT HERE. 

God is a God of miracles!!!!

Love you all! <3/ 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......
