3 missionaries + 2 areas = probable baptism :)

Wow! It has been such a great eventful week! FULL of laughter. Man I think I should just finish my mission with Elder Chipman. No but really. So we picked up Elder Staten for the entire week and covered both our areas. We had lots of lessons. 

We were able to visit Garrett again which went okay. We got a feedback more of like "I can't join your church because I'm confirmed catholic." So that kinda sucks... both for us and for him. His brother in law on studio C is James Perry for all you that were wondering. We are continuing to teach Sergio and strengthen his testimony but it was cool when the guy he lives with joined in for a discussion then after Sergio goes "wow I never would've thought Art would be interested." So we will now start teaching him which is cool! We were also able to see Jim on Wednesday and answer some of his questions, so that went well! That is basically it for the people we are teaching! 

We had a lot of fun in the Arcata area just north of us though! On Thursday we went up to Hoopa which is this Indian reservation that is kinda crazy. We contacted a lot of people and also visited a few people but there was one lesson that was just AWESOME! It was a friend of the YSA branch President and he's awesome. So prepared. He was so receptive of everything we had taught him. His name is Corbin and will probably be baptized this month or next month. It was such a good week though.

We were able to watch the face to face with Quinton L Cook last night and it was great! Something he said really stuck out to me, he says something along the lines of "it's really easy to take some small thing out of context and really damage your testimony." I think it's so easy to take something a prophet or apostle said or to look into scriptures and take something out of context. Its important that you see from a broader perspective. I know that we have a living prophet on the earth today who receives revelation. He is called of god. I think it's so cool that our apostles are chosen the same way Christ chose his apostles, by revelation. He did not choose the most wealth people in the land, but some fisherman, a carpenter... you get the point. This church is true. It's so good. 

Watching the face to face last night

I'm grateful for my mission and everything I've learned on it so far. I'm so grateful for my friends and family! Oh I almost forgot! I really wanted/needed a haircut, and I'm sick of paying for haircuts, so I decided I'm going to learn how to cut my hair! It didn't end up too bad either! Maybe you'll see it in some pictures later haha. Have a great week! 

Love Elder Larson 

Elder Chipman spent about 20 minutes trying to set our voicemail haha

Elder Staten paid for an Indian buffet!
