Soeur Larsen: Part XXXV


I have so much to say this week! Unfortunately I have NO time and I also have to email my mission president. I wish I could just send you what I'm going to say to him cuz it's AWESOME, but unfortunately it will be in French. And I'm afraid to send it to you and have you Google translate it and realize I'm terrible at writing in French! Haha.
Aaah! So good!

This week's highlights:
Our toilet has been clogged ALL WEEK. We haven't been able to use it since Wednesday. We had ward members come over to look at it and they poured straight-up acid down it and it was still clogged. So we have to call a plumber today. Yesterday we spent the night at a member's house, which was fun. We'll be there tonight too.

We had zone conference this week with Elder Kopischke, president of the Europe area, and it was the best thing of my entire life! I laughed, I cried, I had a massive headache at the end. Zone Conferences are always like spiritual firehoses to the face.

Result of the conference: We felt that the branch's goal for baptisms by the end of the year should be 20. The previous branch goal was 3 for the whole year. When we told our branch president, he looked at us strangely. And then made us repeat ourselves. But then he processed it and another ward missionary bore her testimony about our calling and authority as missionaries and it made me cry and then the branch president had us share the goal and the plan that we'd made with the Priesthood and then with the whole ward during sacrament meeting. There were tears all around.
I feel like I should stop telling people about this goal...

Kevin and Alexandra and Kyllian came to church! Hallelujah! Kyllian is 6 and he loved it. Me and him are tight like unto a dish.

An old man told me I was crazy when we ported his door and then started yelling at us when he saw that we just moved on to the next door.
I have to go now! Some ward members are taking us to see a castle! Finally!
LOVE YOU!!!
Bye!
