Welcome to the Fields.... 11-11-2013
Dear Familia...
Your pictures are super cute! Those dresses are super
cute!! They have hoods! :)
I loved the "turkey" :)
SISTER HARDY called you! I am so glad! She is an amazing
person! She does a business called "Thrive" It’s a way of doing food
storage. I wanted you to know about it so you could look into and see what you
thought. They have loooots of food that is gluten free :) Good for Miss B. If
you get time...talk to her about it. I think it’s something you would like!
So this week we had amazing lessons with our
investigators!
Lauren and Richard are an older couple from Cali who moved
here. We have been teaching them for several weeks now. This week we started
the Plan of Salvation and Richard was soooo excited to learn about it. We
talked mostly about Earth Life and the things we need to do to prepare to meet
God. Richard came to the conclusion that if he was going to keep the spirit
with him at all times he would need to read and pray each day. He said...when
you leave it goes away...but then it comes back when you come back. I want it
to stay.... I think I need to pray! All I could do was smile. I said exactly!
We also tried to commit them to baptism....Richard said ....Wait...shouldn't we
go church first before we get baptized? I said YES! That is why we invite you
each week to come to church so you can one see how we worship and also so that
you can continue to learn. He looked at Lauren and said well...It looks like we
are going to church! THEY CAME! :) I was so excited!!!!
This week was Stake Conference. We were asked to speak. Luckily,
Stake President just wanted one of us so Sister D Spoke :) We both had to sit
on the stand and just sitting up there made me nervous. Bob, our recent convert
of two weeks also spoke with her. He did such an amazing job and his testimony
was so powerful! Not a dry eye in the crowd! We were so proud of him! This year’s
Stake Conference was all about missionary work and Members being missionaries. It’s
amazing to see how much emphasis the 1st Presidency is putting on missionary
work. Our members are catching the spirit and they are now calling us more and
inviting their friends to different activities. It’s so amazing!
Sister D and I are working hard trying to solidify our 10
baptisms for the transfer! We have two this upcoming week, Lake and Edge....
they are amazing young men and are going to make a great add to the God
kingdom! WE are still working with
Nancy...She is struggling with doubts from Satan and is worried what her family
is going to think. We pray that her heart can be softened and she can see that
this will bless her life.
Sister D and I concluded that by the end of our missions
we are going to be master public speakers. We had to give another training to
our Zone this week! I think it’s finally getting easier and easier as we go!
hahaha
Funny story.... This week we didn't have a dinner one
night. Sister D and I were trying to figure out what we should do. We sat there
and all the sudden she says ...I WANT STEAK! I said I haven't had that for over
a year! Soooooo we decided to go to Texas Road House. I hadn't been to a
restaurant in like a year! It was kind of awkward because we just walked in
ourselves. I think people were looking at us funny because usually missionaries
come in with members. Well, as we were sitting there deciding to order our
waiter came up to us and instead of taking our order he started talking to us
as if we were "normal girls"....AKA “Flirting” with us. It was at
that moment I realized that I had become a really awkward person and all I
could think about was my missionary badge. We blew him off like it was nothing.
Then after we ate we took pictures. He decided to be in our pictures with us
hahaha We left him a Mormon.org card and instead of "leaving our
number" we left a scripture for him. hahaha Sister D said ...Sister
Larsen, this is just a preview for you and your future in 4 weeks. I just
laughed. It was a good dinner and It reminded me of all the times we went there
as a family and all the fun memories we have at a Texas Road House.
The other picture is a picture of the St George Temple
that a ward made out of Popsicle sticks.... Each stick has a name on it. Each
name is someone that the youth took to the temple to do their work for. HOW
COOL IS THAT?!?! There are 9000 names!!!!
Well, I think that's it for this week!
Love you all! You are amazing!
Mom..... I love you like alllll the pomegranates that
we've been eating.... They are sweet like you!
