writing you all
well here i am writing you all again. A good week of work, we had a more succesful week of inviting people to prepare to get baptized each area invited more or less 6 people so we have 36 people working on getting baptized the 19th of the nextmonth. Umm i guess ill tell you more about my comp because matthew asked. He is a little guy from chile and a really good worker. He is the youngest in his family and a bit sensitive. He likes to talk at night which is not always good because i get tired. Last night he was talking and i feel asleep listening to him talking but then he woke me up 10 mins later to tell me he tought someone was trying to get into the house. Well i went grumpily out in the bit room with the bat we have to make sure everything was fine and when i came back i was still half a asleep and mad because he woke me up so i shook my finger and him and growling told him not to wake me up anymore because i just want to sleep and i dont care if there is anyone in the house. he just laughed as i went back to sleep. thanksgiving will be fun im sure, here ill eat more rice, but to tell the truth if you all wouldnt have said anything i woul have forgotten. this week is zone conferencia so that will be exctiing. Also this weekend we have a baptism of that peruvian who came to church by himself 4 weeks ago. He is awesome and we are excited to help him out to get his mansion started in the celestial kingdom. he has progressed really quickly, which might be due to the fact that his girlfriends back in peru is mormona and for christmas she wants a mormon boyfriend but HEY its all good. also this week we had an 2 exciting incidents that are better told at home stories but il tell you one because it didnt happen to me. Two elders were taking the bus back to the house and just as they got off 3 guys with knives got on and starting robbing the bus and as when the got off the bus started to chase them (all the while full of people who were all game to chase them down) so they threw rocks at the bus and so the bus stopped and then the police started chasing them... thats as far as the missionaries saw... cool HUH!! As Pte. Howell said Cartagena is great to see... if you go to the right places. Also finally we are starting to find people who want to listen to us so we are happy campers.
What im thankful for is all you happy great gringos who make my life so blessed and put me in so much more debt to the lord. also i am thankful for a testimony that keeps me going when everything is going against it. and im thankful to know that God listens and answers prayers and that he has a plan for all of us to get back to live with him.
i love you all
Elder Larson
