"Is this what we have come to?" -Shirley

 People think I'm WEIRD with how I eat my cereal? Think again. My comp dips her cookies in WATER. 


Juanita calling Bobby out for not getting baptized every other sentence. "Man that temple is beautiful"- "you can go inside if you get BAPTIZED" 
"Bobby, I'm just waiting for you to use that little brain of yours to get baptized so that I can be with you forever " 
Juanita KNOWS the blessings of baptism and also the temple!!! 
Counting all the current temples, the ones being built, the ones in pre-construction, and the EIGHTEEN that were announced yesterday there will be 293 total temples! 
Mom imma need some new temple puzzles!!! 
The Lord is making it so easy for us to do temple work! 
Sooo let's do it!! Right????

This weekend is the first time I have ever watched ALL 9.5 hours of General Conference and WOW. That's all I have to say :)) 

Exchanges with Sister O'Neil? An absolute party!!!! On our bikes all day? Uh YES PLEASE. 
Watched a girl HIGHCENTER her self by driving off of a curb into a ditch. 

Sister Norris PEED her pants and then proceeded to wipe her WET hand on Sister Danielsons arm. 
We got eggs out of that visit so I think it was worth it!!! 

Had an HOUR conversation with Sister Garver??????? We have been trying to get ahold of her my WHOLE mission!!!! UHH OKAYY! We are also going BACK on Tuesday?! YUPSSSS 

Called a referral we got and she has delt with a lot of loss in her life in the past year and is kinda wondering what her purpose is. I got the chance to bear my testimony about the Plan of Happiness and how because of Jesus Christ I CAN see my loved ones again!!!!!!!! Doesn't it bring you so much peace to know that this life on earth ISNT the end??? 
My bishops mom was diagnosed with ALS around the time that I started my mission and since I've been here I have seen her get weaker and weaker. But it is AMAZING to see her positivity, the (slightly morbid) jokes, and joy that she has because she KNOWS where she is going! The Plan of Happiness is a true comfort! 

Hope yall had a great Conference weekend!! Love yall! 

<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......
