Let
everyone know I don't have enough time to reply cause I feel bad, they
only give us an hr at the mtc, but it's 2 out in the field. Which
reminds me!! I'll have a lot more email than expected in the field!!!!
Haha you could say that the MTC is flying by, the first couple days felt like forever but everyone just said, make it to Sunday, make it to Sunday!!!
Haah we did and honestly all the days are sticking together now!! Being
out here is such a blessing for all of us!! I'm on such Spiritual HIGH
its AMAZING!!!!!!
Holy cow so this week has been crazy AWESOME!!! IT WAS AMAZING AND TEARS OF JOY IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT!!!!!!!
So on Sunday,
we listend to Sheri Dew for the devotional and Elder Bednar for the
movie, called Character of Christ! If you can find it, WATCH it cause
it's amazing!!! Sister Dew talked about how "Jesus has rules", best said
by a 4 yr old who showed Christlike attributes in his preschool towards
his classmates! She invited us to spiritually wrestle with God to come
to know....
Jesus is the Christ
The Holy Ghost is real
Angels really do minister
and finally, The Togiola (Atonement)
Ask
the Lord for masoli (strength) and help for angels to walk for angels
to walk and help minister to tagata sailiili (investigators)!!! And then
Elder Bednar talked about how when listening to a speaker, make Your
own small plates, not your own large plates (a history of the people),
but a recording of a revelation and inspiration!! Turn outward, away
from yourself not inward and putteth off the natural man in love,
service, and compassion!! THAT IS THE CHARACTER OF CHRIST!!!! Convert to
the Lord!! it starts with YOU!!!! Are you deepening your testimony to
become converted unto the Lord?? Alma 23:5-6!!! Phenomenal!!! Conversion
is being consistently true to what we know!! ONLY SOURCE TO EVERLASTING
JOY!!! All this possible thru the Atonement of Jesus Christ!!! Just
amazing.
So
we have to teach this one investigator named Silau and the entire
lesson has to be in Samoan so it's super crazy scary, but so cool to
watch the Spirit work, especially when Elder Bickmore and I can barely
speak a lick of Samoan!! It's humbling to say the least but we're
working hard and putting in work!! We've got to teach Priesthood this
week and I'm getting piled with DL stuff, but it'll all be worth it in
the end!!! 1 Nephi 3:7!!!
I love ya all and miss you like crazy!!!!
Alofa,
Elder Larson
