Hey guys! Did you all enjoy conference as much as me!? I felt the spirit SO strongly as I sustained President Nelson as our new prophet. Never have I ever felt so much love for a living prophet. The talks were all amazing but to summarize what I got out of it... I feel as though they are putting a lot more pressure on the members to put in their efforts. It is their job to see members, it is their job to receive personal revelation for themselves. Relying on other members and their testimonies will no longer be enough. One of my favorite talks was the one by Elder Durrant. I often receive a lot of comments with how great my dad is. "You all think my dad is pretty great but, he's an even better man at home." I'm so grateful to have the loving father I do. I wouldn't want anyone else.
Taco bell bell after Saturday's sessions (keep the tradition alive dad!)
My new companion Elder Boehner is pretty awesome! He loves to work hard which is perfect! He's from Kansas City and he's been out for about 8 months (2 transfers more than me.) The area is awesome and I've already met a lot of really nice and really great people. I'm also really happy we are still in the car :). The area is beautiful! In the Ukiah zone we have both the beach and the redwoods. I'm super excited to see the redwoods! I'll for sure take some pictures!!
We "caught" a Magikarp (a pokemon) in the park yesterday
We had a pretty cool experience this last week! We were walking to the park and on the way we met this guy who was actually on his way to the cemetery to talk to his brother that passed away about a year and a half ago. We shared a quick message to him and answered some questions about the afterlife. We then set a return appointment for Saturday. Well Saturday comes and we go follow up with the return appointment (It was after general conference), but it turns out that he wasn't home but his mom was. She shares with us that he's never had a dream before and the night we met him, his grandma that passed away about 2 months ago appeared to him. She also said that he had been talking about us a lot all week. Now they are both SUPER interested in the gospel and wondering who the heck we are. I can see the Lord's hand in their preparation. I'm so excited to teach them more.
I love listening to our prophets and apostles. I hope you all took advantage of the opportunity and listened for yourself. Go seek personal revelation for yourself. Go visit members in your ward who have been on your mind. It will brighten both your day and theirs! I hope you all have an amazing week! Also my new address is 582 N State St. Unit D Ukiah, CA 95482 so send away! Love you guys!!!!
Behold, the pink palace (ours is a 1 story tiny place haha)
Love Elder Larson
