Hey guys, how is everything this week?  This last week was really good, Tuesday we traveled to Dar, Wednesday we were in a meeting and Thursday we came back.  So at the meeting was Elder Watson from the Seventy.  He's in the Area presidency.  Elder Ndhlovu and I were asked to give the training for the AP's cuz they couldn't make it to Dar.  That was pretty cool.  We were given a topic and then we had to prepare our own training, it was good.  Elder Watson talked about Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon.  Sister Watson talked about using the Articles of Faith as we teach.  President and Sister Broadbent talked about prayer and how important it is.  After the meeting all of us changed our clothes and went down to the beach.  It was so cool to walk on the beach and see the Indian Ocean, it pretty much looks like any other beach, just sand and water.  But i loved it.  We later found out that the beach we were on is the same place where the country of Tanzania was dedicated for the preaching of the gospel.  i don't remember who did it, i think it was Elder Nelson, but i'm not sure at the moment.  So we got back in Arusha thursday night and then friday, I burnt a shirt!!  It was cool i'm sending some pics of it, i decorated it and then soaked it in kerosene and i was gone in a matter of seconds.  It feels good to know that i've been out for one year now.  kinda weird to think about it, but its a good feeling.  So i've been wondering, do you have a good recipe for a pizza base?  We like to make pizza down here, but i don't ever know what to put in the dough to make it good and tasty, so if ya got a good one then would you please send it to me, thanks.  So right now i'm thinkin about the temple, i wish i could go there.  there are many people here who have the desire but are unable because of the distance.  I think its such a great blessing to have a temple in our backyards, i hope all of you are taking advantage of what the Lord has blessed us with by partaking of the blessings that are received in the temple. i hope you have a great week. 
I love you all!!  
Love, Elder Larsen
