This week was crazy! A few things happened. I hit my 1 year mark, I got bitten by a dog, and we were in quarantine.
The other day I was doing the math and I get home the day before Thanksgiving! So I've only got 11 months left haha. I feel like I'll be home tomorrow; that isn't long at all! This past year has just flown by.
On Wednesday, we were visiting some people. These two dogs start running to us. They were chill; I was even petting them. Then we started walking to the next house. All of a sudden I got bit. The dog was chasing me and I had nothing but a Book of Mormon. So I chucked the Book of Mormon at the dog bahah. I bet God was fine with that. It hurt, but I was ok.
On Friday, we get a text from the stake president saying they have Covid. We were with them 3 days earlier. So we were put into quarantine for the past few days. It sucked. Luckily the members here are super great and helped us with meals and food.
We had interviews with President Tveten and it went super well. Probably my best interview with him.
I love being a missionary so much, it's the best choice I've ever made. I've grown more than I thought I could've. I'm excited for how I can grow this next year.
On Tuesday, I really sat down and pondered a lot. I was thinking about what I really want to become before I go home. The biggest goal I'm working towards is, being changed by the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I want my very nature to be changed, so when I go home I don't just go back to bad habits or fall back into who I was. The thing I'm working on to help me do that is being humble. Being able to take criticism from other missionaries, letting go of my pride, and giving thanks to all the many blessing I receive.
I'd love it if y'all could keep me accountable with my goals. :)
Elder Larsen.
