Elder Jaron Larson: I'm gonna be a dad!!!

Hey guys! I'm so sad that I had to say goodbye to Elder Summerhays this morning! I really enjoyed my time with him. He's awesome. He left this morning and has his flight on Wednesday. So it was pretty whack this last week. So now I'm with another missionary that will go down to Rosa with me on wednesday.

I'm standing awkwardly, but bye Elder Summerhays!

Going off of the subject line.... I'M TRAINING!!! I'm super excited to see my new companion. I was surprised when I got a call on Thursday from President to see if I was willing to train and then the assistants to President called Saturday to confirm. Funny story though, on Wednesday we drive 5 hours down to Santa Rosa, we are there for a little over an hour, then we drive 5 hours back lol. That's okay though, it's good to talk on the way there and way back to get to know your comp.

So other than that news there really wasn't too much. It was sad because Nicki decided to drop us and said she would look into the church on her own. Zuri on the other hand came to church again and for some reason is going to trek this week! I'm not sure if she got talked into it or really wants to go or what... but that's cool. She also leaves back to her family down in Santa Rosa next week... so that's pretty cool I guess haha. We will pass her off to the missionaries down there.

One thing that I was reading the other day was in 3 Nephi chapter 28, the story of the 3 Nephites. How they were literally changed to where they can't die. I mean, I'm not gonna lie, I thought a little bit about what they might be doing or what they might look like... but on a more spiritual note... how anything is possible with God. It's incredible to see how many miracles come because of god. Literally anything is possible with him, how cool is that.

Although I wasn't having the BEST of times the past couple weeks... but I learned a lot. I have a sure testimony that god is aware of us and everything we go through. He puts things and people in our life for us. He loves us enough to let us struggle and have trials and learn and grow. I love him so much. I'm so happy to be training and I will for sure let you all know how it goes next week! Talk to ya soon!

Love Elder Larson
