What a week it has been here in Huehue. Its just like the coast where it is burning hot in the morning and midday and then around 4-5 in the afternoon it just starts to pour and pour and doesn't stop. But there's nothing like getting soaked right? Its the worst when we get to a house and they tell us to sit down and when they say that i feel terrible sitting down knowing that i will get there floor and couch all wet. But life goes on right? The members are very generous here and give a lot and are ready to help give service anytime we need there help. So we just moved houses this morning and we both feel that we are state missionaries. The house is very nice and the owner is a member who was in the states for a while and loves us a lot. So when they called my companion and i here to help lift, strengthen, and encourage the zone here we had a lot of problems, no investigators, and the zone was just down in all aspects. The month of may is looking amazing right now for almost everyone right now though. We don't think we did anything but we just wanted to purify and start from new with the zone. I don't think we did anything but the zone is a lot different from when we started. We've cleaned out problems and now we just have to start working with the spirit. And that is what Elder Williamson does. He is an excellent missionary that never rests and is always wondering on how he can get better. He's kind of like dad where if he gets on a topic he can go on for days and go into detail that will just go right over your head. But he's fun to be with. It seems like we are always on the run. But hopefully it'll be a little bit more calm in these days. President Lorenzana told us Friday that you can sleep all you want after the mission but right now we´re going to work. And that's how i feel right now. Very little sleep but that's really not a big deal. I love Elder Williamson because he makes me want to be better and do my best. I know how to do everything but he knows how to do everything the best way. Oh i forgot to tell you. He´s a black belt. But whenever we have a small fight i always end it saying that if he messes with me that I´ll knock him down to yellow belt. But we get along good. I'm really trying to open up and be more friendly because I'm a very calm and quiet person. But its hard at times. ha ha. But it´ll come with time. Everything is good down here. The bishop we have is way cool and supports us 100 %. We have a great relationship with him and basically with all the members that we know. We´re trying to get to know all of them and the less actives so we can see if now is the right time for them to come back. We want to focus on the temple with the members so they can be ready when the Xela temple is ready. And with the people that we are teaching right now, they all have someone that they know that we are teaching with as well. We don't have a lot of people that we are teaching but there is a family, 2 jovenes, and a few partial families that we are focusing on right now. Its fun though. Trying to find people that are in a way looking for us. Its a never ending desire that i hope i can acquire. (i think that's how you spell it) When we had a conference with President this Friday he talked a lot about change. We have to learn how to change and do things differently right now so we can experiment everything we can in this short time we have here. President focused a lot on experimenting everything we can. Getting a taste of what we can. Trying new things. Jumping out of the box instead of stepping out of the box. Being proactive. Lead the way instead of following. Its something that i hope i can improve on. Doing things differently to get a better result. And always have the desire to change for the better. And that's where the atonement comes in. It will help us stand up. It will help us jump out of our comfort zone. It will help us jump as far as we want. And it will help us overcome the worldly desires that we sometimes have to stay where we are in our comfort zone. I love you all and i´ll talk to you this Sunday.
Elder Larson
