Hermana Larsen en Mexico!

Hola Familia ! Another week of house hunting for you? Another week of investigator hunting for me. I think we're going to try what you guys do with the nicknames, because it gets a little confusing when we literally call everyone el hermano  or la hermana  haha. Love the gospel metaphor! It's so true, prayer is the mango de piña to our spirits! And haha I didn't even know what Bonanza meant [ Bonanza is Hermana Larsen's area ], that's awesome! Thus far it has indeed been a bonanza for missionary work ;) Platanos! Platano Rojo Hungry for platanos! Wow, Mom! That's a ton of back and forth! When are you going to visit me and leave me in tears?? Like Dad and his onions, haha. Sending successful vibes your way, Jarrad! I will also be wearing skirts all week on your behalf. Cam, I want a lifetime supply of car lashes. Haha glad to know los niños are still alive! Sounds like they all had fun weeks with friends! One day you'll be able to give ...

Hola familia! Hahahaha I love these conversations you sent! Glad to hear you guys had such a fun week house hunting! And honestly I just want the house to have a washing machine :) Wow, lots to tell about the last two weeks! I'll start by saying I've sweat more here in Tapachula than I knew that I could! It's soooo hot and soooo humid here!!! But it's also absolutely beautiful!! Everything is super green, and there's fruit growing EVERYWHERE! It's awesome! We're always eating starfruit and mangos straight from the trees, along with a million other types of fruit I couldn't name. And I'm convinced that the tree of life was filled with mangos de piña . Sooo good! Like I told you guys last week, our area is mostly city with a portion of literal jungle that we have to get to on super sketchy bridges. But the fruit is everywhere :) Super sketchy bridge Unfortunately, yes, there are more mosquitoes here. They even have a special name for these m...

Hey guys! So we didn't have any time on Monday to write because we had to travel to Tuxtla on Monday for a leadership counsel that we had today. I only have a couple of minutes to write, but I'm still alive! Haha president George showed me the your message on Facebook. Long story short for my week is sweat. I've never sweat more in my life, but it's awesome! Our area in Tapachula is mostly city with the outskirts being straight up jungle. It's beautiful! And my companion Hermana Gomez is awesome! I'll give you guys more details on Monday because we have to run and catch the bus back to Tapachula again. But love you guys and hope you have a great week!

Hola familia! This week has been really busy with a lot of activities and conferences. And TRANSFER NEWS.... stay tuned to find out where Hermana Larsen will be tomorrow ;) It all started on Tuesday with a tri-zone activity at the Zoo! Super fun! I got to see Hermana Burton and meet my "grandma" Hermana Santos, aka Hermana Marrero's trainer! Though it topped the cake when we had a monkey throw fruit at us! Changos! To add to the fun this week there as a little earthquake in the middle of the night. It woke both me and Hermana Lopez up but neither of us was sure if it was a dream or not so we didn't talk about it until the morning, haha. Turns out it was real! Or all of Tuxtla had the same dream... Then there was General Conference which was absolutely awesome! There were some really great talks given and I also noticed a theme of missionary work and the plan of salvation. I absolutely loved the talk by S. Mark Palmer! He was the guy with the accent, right...
