We were sad because Nicki wasn't able to meet this last week. Not sure why but hopefully we will see her this week. Neither her or Zuri came to church, so that was a bit of disappointment. But we hope they come next week.
Something that did happen on Wednesday was we went on an exchange that went really really well. I went to Fortuna which is about 30 minutes South of Eureka. It was such a wild day. We got cussed out (wouldn't recommend), we met a guy growing weed on his front porch, and met a dog with down syndrome when the girl said nothing was wrong with their dog 
. But we also did do some really good finding. We found a single mother with her 2 kids and apparently her ex-husband was a member so she had been to church before but had no idea there was one in fortuna after she moved. So the Fortuna elders are gonna start teaching her which will be good and we tracked into a couple of less actives that might be coming back. So all in all, it was a really good day and exchange.
Something that has come to my mind the past couple of days was how hard a mission is. It's such a struggle. I look back and I've grown so much. No it wasn't easy, but it's worth it. I was having a particularly hard time yesterday when I read Alma 26:27 in church. I felt so much comfort from god. I'm not sure if that means I'll receive a whole ton of success or what. But I will certainly try and pray for it.
I know that the Lord is watching over us. He knows us and wants the best for us. He's aware of each of us and our situations. Trust that he's there. Let him speak to you. We all have different trials and things we go through. But let Christ, the one that has been through it all lead you through it. You're all so amazing. Have a great week! Sorry for the short email! Love ya!!
Love Elder Larson
