yes this week i was hit with a rock. it was kinda of traumatic and a bit difficult to return to the neigborhood where the scene of the crime happened but i prayed with faith trusting in the prayers of my mother and returned to where the Lord needed me. JUST KIDDING but i was really hit with a rock but not for being a missionary what really happened is a man was trying to hit a dog that was getting too friendly with his female dog. well since about 88.6745% of the people here need but dont have glasses he chucked the rock even though we were behind the offending wannabe alpha male dog. Well the rock didnt hit the dog but landed about 8 feet in front of me and bounced and struck me in the leg. really it didnt hurt at all and more that anything im really excited because but now i can say i´ve been stoned for the lords sake in the mission (biblicly stoned not hippie style). but talkin about hippies this week i bought some super super glue for my shoes and was gluing them together in the little room that we have to study and due to the strong odor of the glue my compa started to get real light headed and giggly.... we put a fan in the room fast i dont like giggly compas hahaha. other than that the week went by fast and enjoyable. The daughter of Laureano was baptized and confirmed this past weekend which was a blessing to see. im not sure why but costeños just dont liked to get baptized all at once there is someone who always wants to linger and ruin what could be a super baptism picture but the picture isnt important and she was confirmed (which is). These weekend the little sister of a convert that Elder Abanto and i baptised is preparing for baptism so the Lord is blessing us quite a bit (like always) here in Monteria. Sin embargo im still praying to find that bishop and his family, maybe ive already found him and he just has to grow up and have a family, but ill keep working like i havent found him and like i should... diligently! its such a blessing to serve in the lords labor. yea its hard and hot and sweaty and smelly (i washed my clothes today and they smelled just amazing, i had to use a bucket of bleach) but really i know there is no other way so great at this point in my life to help other people and myself come to Christ than what i am doing now . its a blessing to serve and everytime i do something good for someone i help the Lord do what he would do. and doing what the lord would do sure feels great. thanks for all your support and prayers. i know that my preparacion for this time in my life started when you first taught me how to pray and read the scriptures. Its such a blessing to help others start a path that they might never find but also teach them how great it is to walk it relying only on God. so many people here rely on their pastor or their priest so they can grow spiritually and sometimes its hard to help them understand that they can progress without us always at their side . Teaching a gospel that is so personal and individual is a blessing to all who really desire to take upon them the name of christ and work out their salvation. But im so very thankful that all you wonderful family of mine that you all decided to do what the Lord would have done and helped me serve a mission, thus progressing personally but also helping me in ways so special and personal. its a blessing to choose the right.
Love
Elder Larson
