Sunshine, Smiles, & Serendipity: "and that...is a crazy lady." (can you name it?)

Alright alright, so i can't really give the full details of the reasoning for my title this week, but basically let's just say I've been exposed to a whole new world of things that would have never ocurred inside my little bubble back in good ol' Murray, Utah. I ran away from this woman though. She was terrifying and you could not feel the Spirit at all around her. It was sad. But we shoved a Gospel of Jesus Christ pamphlet in her hand and then proceeded to run away.

Aaaanyways, this week has been...interesting. All of our baptismal dates dropped. I was emailing one of my dear friends recently and he asked me sarcastically for dating advice. I said "what's a date if it's not a baptismal date?" yeah, all my previous knowledge of the opposite gender has gone out the window since becoming a full-time missionary. Which I am actually quite proud of, to be considered one of those "weird sister missionaries", but whatever. Judge me. So like I was saying, no dates. So we are hoping to set some soon in the next week or so...our investigators just have not been super solid lately, which is quite heart-breaking to see when you've worked so hard with them and prayed so fervently that they will actually accept what you are teaching and even when the Spirit testifies to them, they still reject it. But WE DO NOT LOSE HOPE!! Rule #1 in Sister Larsen's Book of Knowledge. There's a lot of "rule #1's" in there, but that's a story for a different day.

It is so weird that we are half way through with yet another transfer. The time goes by oh so quickly. And before I know it I'll be leavin' on a jet plane back to my home town that I love so much. I love this place though. God could not have put me in a more beautiful part of the world than right here in British Columbia. The people are amazing and the miracles are even more wonderful than I could have ever imagined before coming on a mission. This church is true and it changes lives! I love you all(:

Love always, Sister Brittany Anne Larsen(:

Us and President Tilleman. He called it "a tearful goodbye" picture haha We had interviews with him and of course that always ends in spiritual tears.
