Hermana Larsen en Mexico!

Hola Larsen Tribe! Woohooo! Reunited at long last!!! Haha so glad to hear everything is going weell! Even though there are a few sleeping on the floor :) Love that story of faith, Dad! Wow, JJ and Ez! Mom got you guys good! Haha glad Jarrad survived being alone, and Moana the super cool ROPES course! It's been a great week here in Bonanza! It started off a little slow with Hermana Gomez recovering from her surgery, but picked up when we could get working again. We had a cool miracle this week! We were walking in a part of the selva (jungle)   that we always pass, enjoying the sweltering sun and sweat dripping down our face, when we passed by this house we always see. Now all of the houses here have bars on their doors and windows for security (major fire hazard if you ask me), but this day there was something tucked in between the bars and the window. A RESTORATION PAMPHLET - whaaaat? If that's not a sign to go and knock a door, I don't know what is! But we were runni...

Hola familia! Haha glad to see the fact that we run on Mexican time is shown in the program (for Bonanza Ward)! Haha looks like you guys had an awesome week! despite the LA traffic! It's been an adventurous week for me as well! Starting with the earthquake that woke us up in the middle of the night down to almost losing my life to a deceivingly dry looking mud hole in pursuit of the salvation of souls, to Izapa ! It rains fruit in Tapachula? We exchanged a couple of our P-day hours to go check out the Izapa ruins ! Too cool! We went and got to see Lehi's dream carved in a rock! I love that down here we get to come and see real life evidence of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon! Unfortunately my camera gave up the ghost right before we got to the actual ruin structures insert broken heart. I felt a lot like one of the ten virgins that didn't bring enough oil for her lamp and the bridegroom came. But lesson way learned! On a temporal and spiritual level, not d...

Hola Familia! Yes, yes that was bird poop. Officially crossed that off my bucket list! Aw, I'm glad you guys got the pic from Sister Baker! Three return missionaries came back to visit our ward this week and Sister Baker brought her mom! And guess who got to speak English! I did! Hermana Baker with Hnas Larsen and Gomez Wow, sounds like things are pretty busy getting everything ready for the big move! But I think there has been an unfortunate misunderstanding. I was never replaced as Mom's favorite (insert mom approval face) mwahahaha! Haha that's awesome, Ez! about the bear badge and the hotel! And even about not having any fun ;) hahah. JJ you've got to take advantage of that exercise room! Hahha why do you have to take Drivers Ed again, Mo? Those poor girls in YSA, Jar! That's actually super awesome about seeing Marissa ( Hna Larsen's childhood friend )!! Cam, you give someone a pedicure but you won't give me one? I see where your loyalty lies....

Hola Familia ! Yeah, those pictures were of An_ and Jo_ this week! Unfortunately their date has been pushed back because their grandpa is in the hospital :( And it always rains here, so I don't know if it's a normal amount [of rainfall] or not, haha. Spanish fail this week: El_ is not El_. El_'s name is actually Eb_. They're almost close. Don't judge, JJ, Spanish is hard. This has been a super successful week! It all started with Hermana Ro_. Hermana Ro_ is a little old lady that is super sweet and can talk all day without getting tired! She let us know that she had a reference for us and accompanied us Tuesday morning so we could meet them. Ro_'s reference turned out to be a whole neighborhood in which she knows literally EVERYONE, and those that she didn't know she quickly contacted on the street with "don't you want us to come visit you?" which turns out to be a very successful contacting method when it's coming from Hermana Ro_! We ...
