It's been an awesome week! I had what will probably be my last interview with President Wright. We get a new mission president July 1st. Which breaks my heart because I've come to love President and Sister Wright. They are the most loving, spiritually in-tune couple i have ever met. They have taught me so much and I'm so thankful for them.
We had 2 pretty good lessons this week! One was with Jacob and we were finally able to have the pass off lesson. It started out rough cause we had a horrible lesson plan (we didn't have time to make one). So the 3 of them looked at me and I had to improvise the entire thing! It ended a lot better though. We were talking about baptism and he goes "yeah baptism would be a good idea, maybe I should do that." He didn't totally understand the commitment yet... but we'll get to that tomorrow :)
The other really good lesson was with Ann. We were able to resolve a concern regarding the 3 kingdoms of glory kind of explaining how we don't think god would set up a pass or fail system. Makes sense in my opinion... why would god set up a system where, if you were "two points short" you're going to fire and brimstone. So we solved that concern and the other one is women and the priesthood... Which may take some time. Other than that she is golden! She is always looking up church updates and church videos on lds.org, her favorite apostle is Elder Holland.... literally perfect. She's reading the book of Mormon, she just needs to be baptized! Hopefully she will progress as we continually meet with her.
Recently I was talking to a friend and also a missionary about how Satan works. Satan gets you to think the LITTLE things are acceptable.... for a missionary, that's something like facebook scrolling, or not listening to appropriate music. For someone not on a mission that might be, not saying a prayer before you go to bed, or skipping out on church "just this once." I promise as you become more aware of the small things Satan is trying to abstain you from, and do it anyway, you will build a foundation on Christ that won't fall. I've seen things like that in the my life where I slowly fall away. Don't let that happen. God needs all his children to return.
I miss you all and love hearing from you. It means more to me than you think. I love you all! Have a fantastic week!
Love Elder Larson
