Visit from General Authorities

Hello Family-

I really enjoyed this week. First we had stake conference this last Sunday and President Lorenzana said something that i have really applied in my life and have enjoyed. When you stop praying with words and start praying with your heart you will things change in your life. I have really tried to apply that and i really enjoy not repeating the same things over and over again. But ya Elder Andersen came with Elder Clayton, Clark and Cordon today. It was fun and very cool that we could here from him. From what i liked from him a lot was he talked a little about helping the ward you are in grow and really live the gospel and seeking opportunities in life. He also gave warnings in sort of a way to the Latinos and the North Americans about what we should do when we get home off our missions. He told us that a lot of RM`s get back to the addiction of video games, TV, and things that are really not that important. And they lose the drive and the animation they once had here in the mission. But to all of us he told us to write down our habits that we have right now that we want to keep when we get back to our houses and read it when we are on our trip home. For me, mainly the focus was to help the lives of the people here in Guatemala and our lives to grow and use the opportunities there are in life to come unto Christ and to have a complete conversion in the gospel. It was really fun to see them and i hope to remember the things i felt that i need to do in my life right now and to become the person that i want to become. But it was great seeing him and hearing from someone that has been called from the Lord. He got Spanish and French mixed up and Spanish is tough for him so he started to talk in English and that is when it started to get better. I understood all the Spanish but he could say what he wanted to say a lot easier in English. I could not imagine knowing 3 different languages. That's just something really amazing and powerful. Jesus Christ lives and the Book of Mormon is true and the gospel is here in Guatemala because of Joseph Smith. And i have the chance to help others come unto Christ and receive a complete conversion of his atonement and of this gospel that is the only way to return and live with our loving Heavenly Father again.

Love,

Elder Larson
