well to quote the famous Elder Bangerter Andrew.. it was a great week! but im not going to make up reasons for repeating myself buecause i find myself teaching the same thing almost everyday just to diferent people. I was thinking about that during my limited personal think time (usually when im walking a 30 min long distance walk) and came to the conlcusion that since there is only one truth there really arent that many ways to say it. its a worldy desire to have something NEW and FABOULOUS every 2 months but the good thing with the unchanging gospel truths is that it seems one can understand something very common but on a new spiritual level. so i have to keep studing the scriptures that they put in PMG even though by know i know what they say before i read them bcI have to grow so I can understand them better. so back to my week me and my chilean child are going strong, we are getting really excited for the baptism for Ana and Laureano in a few weeks. WE are going to sell fritos to raise the money necessary and hopefully the ward is going to pitch in. Keep praying hard that they recoginze how important this is and that their baptism is the most important thing for them now. They have quite a few of family realtionships details to work out and its kinda rocky this whole change thing but we are heading over tonight for a fun family night and they asked us to dedicate the house (ana says she sees spirits and she spooked my compa and he said he felt something too.... ohhh latinos). Umm this sunday they called tatianna (my conversa from a few weeks ago) to be a primary teacher and that made me happy. It really is great to give onself to the edificacion de zion. i feel that a little bit too often we focus on want the mission does for the missionary but we have to remember that the mission that i have the great opurtunity to serve is to build zion. This is to say that instead of worrying about if we are good enough for the calling we just have to do our best knowing that the Lord will do his work like he wants to and he will do it with whatever servant is willing. This is another product of personal think time that helped me alot when i was in Cartagena.
congrats matthew with the gradutation and the safe return of the norweigan princess. ohh im going to call for mothers day the 9th of may. the easiet time will be in the afternoon at 4 or 5 but if you want i could call later like 7 or 8. let me know next week.
thanks for all your love and faith, pray for the costeños because they need your prayers (me too)
LOVE
Elder Larson
