Week 11

 Week 11    October 21, 2024

I really don't know what to say to start this week, rock, paper, scissors shoot. Come back next week to see if u beat me. Highlights:

-Aliens do in fact exist 
-I made torta fritas for my district, and it was rough because they were explaining to me how to make them in Spanish and I had no idea what they were saying. 
-Argentine Mother's day was yesterday so Happy Mother's day mom😊

OK, the reason that I say aliens exist is because I heard a really weird noise in the sky, meaning it's got to be aliens

We had a meeting with our district last week and my comp, Elder Baldwin, had us make this scone thing, called torta fritas I think, for the lesson. The whole thing was in Spanish tho so I don't really have any idea what's happening. Then he looks at me and asks something so I just say sí, and apparently he asked me if I wanted to be the one to cook them so I accidentally volunteered for that. Then they were all telling me how to make them and I had no idea what was going on. It's so much fun to be laughed at when everyone is speaking Spanish to you and you can't understand them🙂.

So apparently my ward loves throwing parties for everything, so on Saturday we had this giant party at the church for Mother's day. They made a bunch of food, and this delicious-looking cake that I didn't even get to try, sadly cause we had to leave. 

Spiritual thought:
I listened to the talk 'A Summer with Great-Aunt Rose' by Elder Uchtdorf and it really helped me out this week. I would encourage you guys to all listen to it because it really is such an amazing talk. A quote from the talk that I love is when the little girl in the story is asking what the heart of the gospel is. 
' "It is love—the pure love of Christ,” Rose said. “You see, everything else in the gospel—all the shoulds and the musts and the thou shalts—lead to love. When we love God, we want to serve Him. We want to be like Him. When we love our neighbors, we stop thinking so much about our own problems and help others to solve theirs." ' 

This week felt very long but looking back it also felt like nothing crazy happened. That's all for this email tho, peace ✌️ 

-Elder Larson

 Week 18  They can fly December 9, 2024 What's up y'all. Elder Baldwin leaves in 3 days so starting this week I'm officially out of my training which is so crazy. Here are the highlights that I can remember from this week: -Guys the cockroaches in my apartment have learned to fly -Shout out to the Ellen Show for being fricken cracked at basketball  -I got the living freaking daylights scared out of me by a dog -Elder Baldwin broke 3 plates -We got a mini Christmas tree -We had the funniest encounter with this random dude on the street We were walking down a sidewalk that we go down a lot and it goes right by these houses and while we were walking by this massive pit bull like tried to jump through the fence like 2 inches away from my face and I genuinely was ready to die in that moment. So we run into this dude that's trying to sell us some stuff so we're kind of just trying to brush him off, then he starts asking us questions about like where we're from and why...
