Hey everyone! I hope everyone had a great new years and week! It has been a very exhausting last few days.
Last Wednesday Elder Salsbury and I went to a member in the Hmong branch's house because his father had passed away (he was older.) But it is tradition to go and visit the family member's home sometime during the week. It was completely pouring outside... it turned out to be super fun, even though we were biking really hard in a lot of rain for a long distance. We were laughing the whole way home and singing songs. Definitely one for the books!
After we biked in the rain, I'm not sure if you can tell how wet we are....
Later during the weekend we had a lesson with someone that fell through... But that's besides the point, I was still super exhausted from Wednesday and didn't want to go out. But we decided to be good missionarys and go out anyways. We ended up talking to some people and even getting a new gator all because we went out.
As far as investigators go.... the Owens family (recent convert family that is now coming to church) came again this past Sunday. They also have a 9 yr old daughter we are going to start teaching so we are super excited for that. I can't think of many others, people just need to not flake and actually meet with us.
Today we were able to go to the Oakland temple which was awesome! I felt the spirit so strong. I could feel the love and prayers from friends and family back home. My love for the people here in Fairfield also grew a lot. I love the temple and the peace that it can bring into your life. I promise you can have that peace too. I'd like to invite you all to sometime this month go to the temple and feel of that sweet spirit. You will be able to eliminate the influence of the Satan so much more. I love this gospel and know how much it can bless lives. It has blessed mine so much. I know this church is true and I'm so happy I am able to spread it with others. I hope you all have an amazing rest of the week. Love you all!
Love Elder Larson
