Well it has been a good week. We are having lots of fun in Norfolk. We had a district meeting Friday that went really good. Everyone said it was great. We talked alot about atonement and sticking to the fundamentals of the Gospel. Ever since Elder Jensen of the Presidency of the Seventy came a few months ago I have spent ltos of time studying the atonement and I love studying it and learning of God's love for us.
But I am enjoying this area alot more now. I feel like I am more comfortable as district leader and Elder Kohler and Elder Wolfgramm and I have a blast together. We are always laughing. They kind of remind me of having little brothers. lol. Cause they love to argue about little things and do these little funny immature things to each other but it is always in a fun way. For example, the other day we were at Wendys having lunch, and we were sitting at a booth and Elder Wolfgramm and I were on one side, and Elder Kohler was on the other. And Elder Kohler had a frosty that Elder Wolfgramm wanted, and every time Elder Kohler turned his head Elder Wolfgramm stuck his spoon into his frosty cup to try and steal some of it. And then he came saying stuff like whats that over there and pointing to the back wall to try and get Elder Kohler to turn around. I was just laughing at them. Little things like that happen all the time. lol Sometimes Elder Kohler walks into the kitchen and Elder Wolfgramm is just eating his food. lol. Its hilarious. And Elder Kohler does his share of things to Elder Wolfgramm too. This companionship might not survive if the only change after this transfer is me leaving. I dont know if they could ever stay focused without me lol.
We might have a baptism this saturday. We had two of our investigators show up to church on sunday which was good and it was the first time they came in a while. However the one with a date this saturday did not come so we will have to see how she is still ready. We are seeing her tomorrow.
Well, I am getting scared to come home... The closer it gets the more it is setting in and I feel like the excitement I once had to see everyone is getting buried by the realization that it actually is going to end and this wonderful time I have to be a missionary will be over. I dont want it to end. Just thinking about all the stresses that I am suddenly going to have to worry about once I get home doesnt sound good at all and I would rather just keep being able to only have to worry about serving others. Realizing that it will soon be over has made me realize how much I love doing it. But, I know that is it the Lords will so I am sure it will work out and be for the best.

Well, I love you, and thank you for your email and advice. James, if you get to read this, you are about to start the best two years of your life... There will be hard times, fun times, times where you hate your companion, times where you feel like a spiritual bomb went off and your testimony will be so confirmed, just do your best and all of it will work for your good. Sometimes it takes awhile to see how things are working for your good but the time always comes when you will be able to see. Well I love you. I love you all and thanks for your prayers. Take care
Love,
Elder Larson
