Well this week has been interesting. Elder Magero left on Thursday so since then we've been working in a three-sum with Elder Frost. His new comp, Elder Ayana, was suppose to come down friday. but the border wouldn't let him through. Today we found out that another Elder will be coming tomorrow, Elder Jackson. He's from Zimbabwe if i'm not mistaken. I met him a couple weeks ago while at the Leadership training. He seems like a cool guy so it'll be fun to get to know him. Yesterday we had a lunch appointment all set up after church so we could all break our fast, but at church the lady cancelled and after that appointment we were booked until the evening. but luckily we had another investigator that invited us over right after the other one cancelled. That was a great blessing, he fed us kabisa. if it wasn't for him, then we wouldn't have been fasting anymore.... we would've been starving. I'm glad you guys got my letter, i was wondering if it was ever gonna arrive. So i didn't even know that it was Conference weekend until Sister Burgener told us Sunday morning. I feel like i'm on a different planet sometimes. Hopefully we'll be able to watch it soon, three weeks....maybe. So the Burgener's came up this last weekend and with them came Christmas!! I got that package you sent with the Lurf's and all my garmets and suff that i ordered from the distribution center. Tanzanian prices were cut 90% on almost everything, so i ordered a bunch of stuff. My shoes with these new insoles feel like a new pair of shoes. They feel so good. Thanks a ton. So as for being there for the next peach pie that you make...... i kinda doubt it. The thing that i want to eat lately is biscuts and gravy. so could you please send me the recipe for the gravy. I'm pretty sure i can make the biscuts, but i'm gonna need some help with the gravy part of things. I guess i better end on a spiritual note..... So we've been told to focus on the docrine on Chirst lately. one thing that i've learned is that all we have to do is get sanctified by the Holy Ghost. ( ? 2 ne 31 ? ) After that the Atonement will perfect us ( ? Hebrews 12 or 13 ? ) sorry i don't have my scriptures with me or i'd give you the exact refference, that's ok, it'll give you a chance to search for it by yourself. But the hard part is getting sanctified or "enduring to the end." The goal of Heavenly Father is to bring to pass the "immortality and eternal life of man," right? so He just wants us to be perfect after this life, as we're perfect in this life by applying the Atonement and keeping the commandments then we'll get sactified. it ain't easy, i don't think any test is..... but it is possible, with the help of our Lord Jesus Christ and our loved ones around us. As we lift each other up and are an example to all around us, then we will allow the Lord to shape us into the disciple that we need to be in order to live in His presence in the Celestial Kingdom. I love you all and i hope that you have a great week/day.
Love
Elder Larsen
