Well, I'm TRYING to get some pictures sent. . .but I had a
good week this week!
I can't believe I've been a missionary for a year. .
.that's just nutso haha I DO feel the growth that I've experienced and the
changes that have made me a better person and if I keep working at it will
continue to help me become the person my Heavenly Father needs me to be <3
Haha ugh I've been trying to get one dumb pic sent for 20 minutes and it's just
not working. . .but here it's tradition to burn a shirt once you've hit your
year mark (it was a white one I've had since I was like 14 so I think it's time
had come. . .) but it was way funny :) I also had a cool experience this week
where we were out contacting and came across a lady from Tahiti and she only
spoke English and I tried my best to remember how to talk in English!! Haha I
NEVER thought I'd forget, and obviously I haven't cuz I can write it just
fine, but making English come out of my mouth was proven to be more difficult
than I thought!!! I felt way silly, but it was a cool experience nevertheless
:) and my comp was like "Now I know what it feels like to be you. .
." haha so yeah :)
I also gave a talk in church yesterday about Charity
and everyone told me thank you and that it was good. They also told me they
were impressed with how well i speak (they all think I'm brand new to the
mission cuz that's what happens when your a "yankee" - you're new
everywhere you go haha but I'm used to it ;) but it was good I learned a lot.
I'm seriously so grateful for all your support and all the love I feel from you
all :) Oh and yesterday in the combined Relief Society/Priesthood meeting
Bishop used a Lord of the Rings analogy and I was one of the only ones who
understood what he was talking about and it was SO good!! He was talking about
being careful with the little snares Satan has put out in the world that seem
harmless or even good but can really mess you up in the long run (too much
time on the internet, remodeling homes and new cars every year. . .) which he
compared to the Ring, which I think we've talked about that before. . .but yeah
it was cool and made me think of you all <3
Well, I'm outta time. I'll see
if I can get a picture sent!! I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!! Have a great week ok and
smile a ton and make the most of every precious beautiful minute our Heavenly
Father has given us <3 I LOVE YOU
xoxoxo
Your Larissa
