Just send it!

Hey! Hope everyone had a great week! Ours wasn't too bad at all! The hills are.... well yeah they're still hills... But hey it's getting a lot easier! Besides the weather being like 80°! We had a good week though. Lots of biking! Elder McGladrie was sick one of the days so I studied and cleaned a lot (Yay for a clean organized apartment!). We aren't teaching too many people yet because not only did we whitewash in but we completely opened the area. But we are working at it! We technically do have someone that missionaries have done service for, for a really long time. And also a new move in with a 9 yr old daughter that wants to be baptized. We are meeting with them this next week so that should be good. 

We had a pretty neat experience on Friday before dinner. We were in a area looking in areabook for some potentials, less actives, or formers or people like that. While Elder McGladrie was looking at his tablet looking for people to visit, I notice this guy standing like 15 feet away looking at his phone. There was a little bit of fear in me because I didn't really want to bother the guy. But I just kept having this whisper at the back of my head saying "JUST SEND IT!!" (Go talk to him.) So I finally did. The conversation started off slow but after a bit of talking we were finally able to share the plan of salvation with him and explain more of what missionaries do. It went really well. Turns out he lived in Vallejo but it still felt really good because we gave him a book of Mormon and stuff. So always #justsendit

Recently I've been reading in a book called "The infinite atonement"by tad R Callister. There is a part where it specifically talks about the suffering Jesus paid for all of us. It makes me think all the time about what sins or mistakes did I cause him to feel. It makes me feel bad, but at the same time it makes me want to be so much better. I hope that thought makes you want to as well.

Have an amazing week! I'll give you an update on the hills of Benicia next week! Love you all!!

Love Elder Larson
