Hello…Did you know that winter is coming?
We’re starting to cool down over here. Today’s in the 60’s.
Since Monday I’ve been in a triple with a Sister who is finishing her mission on Friday (cause that’s the day they’re put on the plane). Her name is Melanie Parry, and she’s from Alpine Utah. She’s going to be a middle school English teacher. Her trainee went home on a plane at 4pm Monday because she’s been having some yet to be diagnosed problems, and because her mom has MS. They weren’t going to wait to send her home. So Sister Parry and Sister Clark (her trainee) are planning on hanging out on Saturday. I told Sister Parry about Prop 8, and she wants to spend a few weeks in California helping by knocking on doors. She wants to take some friends and go live at one of her old companion’s parent’s homes. So Sister Parry may be calling you to get more information, not that she’d be staying with you, but to be informed. If you could get her connected, that would be great.
I’m being transferred to another ward in the Oakton Zone in the Oakton Stake. It is called the Oakton Ward, and it is only covered by Sisters. We live with an amazing voice teacher and her Husband. I went on a 24 hour transfer over there. She’s 70 and has no warble.
On Tuesday we found a man that was so ready. Sister Parry said it was like a skills practice at District Meetings. We asked him how to find the truth? He answered, “If I understand the question, in the Bible it talks about fruits of the spirit, and that ‘by their fruits ye shall know them.’ (It’s great to be in this triple.) But he wouldn’t set up a return appointment. He said he wanted to read first, and then he’d call. A good sign: right after we parked on his street to tract and we were about to pray, the Elders pulled on the street. We talked, and then they were inspired to tract a different street.
I love you all. I got the printout of Grandma’s blog yesterday and haven’t even read all of it. The envelope was so thick.
I know that every step we take in the right direction makes everything we do clearer. In that exact obedience brings the blessings from heaven down. I’m getting closer.
Love, Sister Larsen
