Hola Familia!! Haha you guys almost got me there!! I can't do much for the 3 marriage plans right now, but if you guys get working up there for me I think we can arrange something ;) JJ, haha sounds like a fun campout! Hahaha I think Ezra's questions are my favorite! Ez, I have almost seen more cats and dogs than people. Yay, Cami! *insert many tears* I want to go dress shopping!!!!!!!! Mom and Dad, sounds like some fun thanksgiving plans! haha I will praying that all goes well in the kitchen!! Jar, I'll get working on those rent payments, the problem is i don't have a job right now.. :`( The busy hermana is still super busy! This week has been super crazy! But super awesome! First off, Elder Pieper of the Seventy came to our mission all this week! That's where both the crazy and awesome parts come from haha. Wednesday we had a multizone conference with him that was super awesome! And then on Friday and Saturday we went to Tapachula. That's right, Tapachul...

Hola Familia! My time's going to be cut short again today because of transfers and unfortunately I picked a really slow computer today :( but it's been a couple of crazy weeks! But to let you know the important stuff TRANSFERS dun dun dun! I just got back from Tuxtla but will shortly be leaving again! I'm being sent to be a sister training leader again in the Tuxtla Mactumatza stake, but I don't know what my ward is called haha. I'm going to be with Hermana Rivera who was actually in my zone before, so I'm excited about that! But I'm super sad to be leaving Bonanza and especially Hermana Bastián! I've really loved being with her this transfer and learned so much from her! I have a MILLION pictures I'm trying to upload too, but this triste computer won't let me do anything! But I promise a long letter next week with a million pictures :) Love you guys un BUEN! Hermana Larsen

Hola familia! Today's been super crazy because we had to come to Tuxtla again for another Leadership Conference and we're in the mission home right now. And we're about to eat HAMBURGERS!!!!!! YEEESSS!!! So I don't have a lot of time to write, but short update from my week: we've been experiencing a ton of opposition in the baptism of Da_. Her grandma fell down the stairs right before her baptism. So please pray that she can be baptized this week!! We've been sad that a lot of our investigators are leaving for vacations or moving, but we had a super awesome miracle yesterday! well, more like earlier this week. We contacted a man named Ed_, who I honestly didn't expect to be very interested, but we started talking with him and it turns out he's been looking for change in his life. He drinks a lot and he's been trying for a long time to stop, but hasn't  been able to. We had a couple of really special lessons with him this week, and he came to ...

Hola familia! Oh yeah, I guess that's right. I passed my half way mark this week! Whaaat??? Definitely don't feel like I've been here 9 months! Does it feel like a whole baby to you guys? Wow, you're finally in the new house!! haha don't know how you've kept under the radar Dad, but glad to know you and Ez are going to be together (in primary), Mom!! Sorry about Harv, cam, but I'm pretty sure he still remembers me because I'm the fun sister!! haha sad to hear about the friends, jar, but glad to hear about the lack of competition! The struggle is real, Mo! haha. Keep reading your scriptures and developing that love! *insert crying noises* JJ!!!! How did you get so big????? How did you get old enough to get the priesthood and go to Mutual??? haha I also hope my week was more interesting hahaha, go outside and enjoy the Washington air quality! First off, I'd like to testify that baptism saves lives. Spiritually and Physically. Thanks to a baptism la...

Hello to my favorite family on the planet! Hahaha how'd transfers go????? How could you leave Lucy and Bella in the area????? Why is everyone getting married without me??? So many questions!!! Mo, I'm way down! And I feel you, I've been living without WiFi for 9 months. Uh oh, Jar, what did you feed the poor missionaries?? JJ and Ez, what a crazy moving week! and for you too, Mom and Dad! We're going to have to start doing an English fail of the week instead of Spanish. This week when teaching Da_ she asked us to sing her Lead Kindly Light with me singing in English and Hermana Bastián singing in Spanish. I was all excited to get to use my English, but when it came down to it I couldn't even get to the chorus without switching to Spanish. I couldn't remember the lyrics and so I starting making things up in English (because who's going to know I'm making things up? Muahahah the power of language!) but I kept going back to Spanish, so I was caught in m...

Hola Familia! First things first, Aunt Joy is getting married???????? why is everyone getting married and I don't find out until after the fact??? Haha I'm glad you guys went all the way to Utah so you could have a little sympathy for me! And super excited for you guys to finally get in The House. Sorry about the long drive, JJ and Ez! hahaha especially about the throw up, Ez! Love you too Cam, but truth be told, I am the fun sister, muahahahah! Jarrad, jealous! I want Moana to babysit me! And you're not old enough to go on dates, Moana!!! It's been a great week here in Chiapas! It started off with our first leadership conference with President Doman. Which was, of course, awesome! We set some really awesome goals for the mission this month of July and we are all working hard to reach them. Our goal as a mission is to have 230 baptisms this month, as a zone 24, and as a compañionship 3. Any prayers you could send our way to help us reach them would be very much appr...
