Mission scripture

"Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever." Alma 26:12

So General Conference was FREAKIN AMAZING!!!!!!!!! Superbowl for missionaries, 4 times in a weekend. Wow! It's the life! But so sad it's over! Dude, when they sang "Oh Devine Redeember" I just started laughing and couldnt help but think of Brandon and the whole fam with that song! ohhhhh so funny!! I miss those days for sure! But seriously, could the talks be any more better than that?? Members and Missionaries unite. WORD!!! I hope this sticks in everyones heads! :) We are here on this earth to be converted and then to help others become converted. Let's get going on this!! Wouldnt the world be such an amazing place if everyone was converted?? Fan-Freakin-Tastic!!! I would love life!! More than I already do that is :) I love the gospel. I love the constant reminder of keeping our covenants. Part of that covenant keeping is standing as a witness of Christ and to strive to be like Him. What did he do on this life? Nothing but serve and preach the gospel. Lets just have that sink in...just for a moment! LETS SHARE THE GOSPEL!!! :D I love my Savior :)
 
Soooo....I am now officially called a true sister missionary cuz i rode my bike.... YEP! Did it! So funny story behind all this. So our car had to be taken in the shop and we thought we wouldnt have it for a day but they just looked at it for 10 minutes and then we were good. But we had planned already to bike so my dear sweet companion just thought we'd ride our wonderful bikes anyways. We rode to the institute building which is 3 miles away and guess what?? MY TIRES WERE FLAT!!! Right when I got on it I could feel the ground and told Sister Edwards but she just laughed and didnt think anything of it. I was literally BUTT HURT!! My butt hurt soo bad and I thought I was going to die!!!! Not to mention it was super windy and I probably flashed a couple people with my G's. Super! Sister Edwards was dying laughing at me cuz I couldnt walk! No joke! I swear I had a bruise for a week! But the pic that im sending has a smile on my face...it was fake. Just so you know haha
 
We went on an exchange this week and I was in a trio. Weirdest thing EVER!! It was more of a hangout feeling than companions :p didnt help that i didnt know the sisters so it was a tad awkward.
 
The work is slow but progressing here little by little. We do so much less active work but our numbers are still small. I saw a big pattern in conference talking about trustiing in God and having that faith. It seems like that's something I need to work on and trust that this area will grow and we will find people to teach cuz we're having no luck :/
 
Anyways, have an awesome week!
 
Larissa, everyone comes here before they go to peru for waiting for the visas so you should deff extend your mission and end here with me ;) AND teach me spanish since i will not know what your english vocab will be like :p
