| Leaving the best book. St Louis Missouri May 2024 |
Well, this week was transfers! Hermana Larsen and I are together for another transfer but all of our district is gone! Except for one elder! Wild how that happened, so we basically got a whole new district! Hermana Larsen and I are actually so excited about it though, because we are finally getting a rhythm down of what we like to do when we teach and what's effective for us! So we are stoked to be together for another 6 weeks!

This week Hermana Larsen and I had found out one of our friends (Josue) is a “Trust Leader” in an alcoholico anonimo group or alcoholic anonymous group for latinos! Well he invited us to one of the meetings and said that it would be a great place for us to meet more people to teach! This meeting was so cool/ interesting! I don't know what I was expecting but it was exactly how you would think alcoholic anonymous would go!
We got to the place and the meeting started, the man leading the group asked me and my comp what our names were and of course we said we were “Hermana Kimball and Hermana Larsen”, which they definitely thought were our first names. The leader had us stand up and the whole group greeted us and clapped for us as they congratulated us for making this step in our lives. Lol! We then got to sit and listen to a bunch of stories of recovering alcoholics, it was actually so interesting! As my comp and I were leaving we actually met some super cool people and we got some lessons set up with them, and gave out two Books of Mormons! So we are def giving alcoholico anonimo a 10/10!! Good finding tactic!

On Friday, while looking for some latinos we met two brothers who spoke English (on accident). They were like your good old Missouri hicks! One of them had sincere questions and really wanted to learn about life after death. The other was there just to argue with us. He was seriously being so rude and trauma dumped his whole life on us. Anyways, we basically had to tell the other one to politely stop talking and he didn't listen. He told us that he is gonna tell us his situation and we need to answer without using our BOM's to answer his question. His question was about the people he's lost in his life. So off the top of my head I shared good ol’ D&C 84:88! He actually was shocked that I think God hit his core. Because this guy was quiet for the rest of our time there. I bore testimony of God and the heavens and I truly think we might have silenced the basher! God works in miraculous ways!
This week my comp and I got into a little ruffle when she slammed on the brakes for a bird to cross the street and all of our books came flying forward. Safe to say we officially made the call and now I'm whippin' around STL! Driving has been the best! 10/10 good solution! It has really strengthened our companion unity so we are all for it lol!
Cinco de Mayo here was also awesome! We had some awesome friends show up to church and they said they LOVED it!! So that's always exciting! We also had a member meal where we had enchiladas, and guac and chips! It was the bomb! #grateful
So it's Monday night and we got invited to AA again! So of course we hit that John up! And it was so fun! They have now asked us to start teaching a part of AA, so now me and my comp get to teach 10 minutes of it! It's wild but y'all it has been the coolest and biggest blessing! We having been finding and teaching so many people because of AA! I shared my testimony to them that we are so proud of each of them and God is cheering them on! And then we passed our pass along cards and we have gotten 4 calls!!! This has been the best finding tactic ever!!
My spiritual thought this week actually came from Antonio’s lesson! We had Antonio's lesson about the word of wisdom and it was firee!! He was seriously talking all about how he would drop anything for God, it was so cool! Also while we were speaking with him about why we don't drink coffee, tea, alcohol and how we don't smoke I felt super prompted to say, “we understand that this commandment is different from the world, but we also know that Jesus Christ is different from the world and we are striving to follow Christ each day”. The spirit literally spoke through me when I said that and I truly think it strengthened my own testimony on the word of wisdom! Everyday we are trying to be like Jesus Christ and not of the world! I am more happy when I follow him and I just want to spread that joy with everyone!
