A Flashbang week!

Wow!!! Ok so not too much happened this last week except we set a baptismal date with Willow! (The Owens daughter) that was super exciting! We had a really good day on Thursday.

We went over to an area we hadn't been too much and we walked into someone who had met with missionaries in the past and had gone to church but hasn't recently. She told us to come back later in the day which we did and she knew a lot about the book of Mormon and had a lot of questions about it. She said she would come to church but didn't so that was sad... we will see why later this week. I was so surprised that we walked into someone who knew so much about the book of Mormon. 

Later that day we went to the Owens and obviously that went well. But the other crazy thing about that night was they have this really really.... REALLY hot, hot sauce called the flashbang. Supposedly it's like the 2nd hottest in the world. So... I tried 2 drops of it and thought I was gonna die lol. Someone should give me info on it and tell me about it :) but that was a super fun and exciting night. 

Other than that... no updates on any other investigators. We did have a super long day yesterday. We had ward council at 7 am at the church and we didn't leave until 3 pm. So 8 hours at church... no naps! Lol that's ok, it was a good day. 

Yesterday I shared a Mormon message for the dinner message and the spirit testified something to me right then. I shared the one called "Blessed and happy are those that keep the commandments of god" You guys should all watch it! I promise that if you take a step back and look at why we have certain commandments, you'll be able to recognize the blessings that come from following them. God doesn't give us commandments and guidelines just to put them there. He puts them there for our benefit and for us to reach our full potential. I know this church is true and I am so grateful for the blessings that come from following his commandments. 

I love you all so much and miss you all like crazy. I hope you all have such an amazing week looking for blessings in commandments.

Love Elder Larson
