Hola Familia! Yeah, still shaking here! It's been super crazy all of the natural disasters around the world! me and my companion like to sing the hymn " el fin se acerca " which I didn't know before the mission so I don't know it in English but it basically translates as "the end is near and there is little time left" hahahaha :) but really. Haha funny that you mention cockroaches.... yes, they are so bad here! I almost cried this morning when we killed two because they gross me out so bad! Haha Ez, I don't know, [I've taught] like 200 maybe! Go Mona! haha I think it's time to learn how to play football! You're awesome, JJ! I want to hear your speech! Jar, happy about the job!

Hola familia! Sounds like a good week for you guys! Jarrad, go doterra! I want to see if I can put yours and Cami´s discounts together! Mo, you can't get married till I get back either. Dad, faith without works is dead, if you want all of the boys to be ugly in TriCities, you have to do something! ;) JJ, what a crazy game! Don't get a concussion! Haha Ez, I see a ton of dogs everyday! And I feel you with the lotion thing; I got a weird rash all over my back because the food's different here and the doctor makes me put a bunch of lotion on too. Mom, do you guys have crazy plans these coming weeks? Haha yikes about the piano, Dad! It's been another great week here in Terrazas! It's still shaking, but it's turned into something super casually here. "Is it shaking right now?" "probably" "okay". Haha we've got a couple of sisters in our zone that have turned it into a phrase like from the movie The Fault in our Stars "Earthq...

Don't wait for a natural disaster to live the gospel

Hola Familia! Hmm where to start.... It's been a shaky week here! To get right to the good stuff, on Thursday it was a dark and stormy night... not really. It was a totally normal night. Aside from the fact that a couple of sisters from Comitan came by surprise to stay in our house (we've actually housed a ton of sisters this week) because they needed to come to Tuxtla to take health exams. We went to bed at 10:30, as always, and I was super tired and super ready to sleep, so I was out super fast. An hour and a half later I was super rudely woken up by shaking. I remember sitting up in my bed wondering if I was dreaming or not, and then once I determined that it was real, contemplating whether or not it was worth getting out of bed. The shaking continued, super strong now, and the sisters from Comitan start pounding on the door "hermanas! hermanas! hermanas!". My companion finally woke up, "we need to leave" *insert inner eyeroll of Hermana Larsen who ju...

Please pray for Chiapas!

Hey Fam! We were feeling a little bored today so we thought we'd come and write early. Hahaha jkjk! I don't know if you  guys have seen the Chiapas news yet, but early this morning there was a crazy earthquake at like midnight. I'll give you more deets on Monday, but Presidente gave us permission to write and let you guys know that I'm still breathing and all limbs are intact. It's fortunate that I'm here in Tuxtla because the buildings are a little newer and stronger here than in other parts of Chiapas so there wasn't so much destruction. We don't know a lot, but I think the missionaries along the coast are being evacuated for tsunami threat. But don't worry about me! All is well in Zion :) But please pray for Chiapas! Con un buen de amor, Hermana Larsen

A magic flower turned me white

Hola familia! Haha I literally just translated what we say in Spanish, I don't know how you white people say "pass by for"! ;) Haha I can't wait to see all this [football] rivalry, Dad! I feel you, Mom. If you want I'll teach you some curse words in Spanish so it doesn't sound as bad ;) JJ, that's awesome!! How do you like football in comparison to fútbol? Awe, Ez, thanks for fasting for me! I can feel the extra strength! and good questions. I don't know how many people I've taught, I think I'm in my 8th transfer, and I haven't seen any lion dogs or proposals in a while. Wow, Mo! You'll have to take me around in Dad's sweet ride!! Jar, don't get married yet, just pass all of your exams for now and get super rich until I get back. Haha Cam, will note that Badger Mountain is ugly for future reference! This week was full of miracles with the Te_'s! The first was with Te_ 1 (Tonatiu's grandma), on Tuesday we had an appoi...
