We had another great week! There is always a lot going on with transfers, let's just say it was a miracle that everyone got where they were supposed to go haha. I'm entering into my final transfer and I received my last companion on Tuesday! His name is Elder Nonato, and he's from Salvador. His story is a little more different than most. He's going to turn 27 in January, and he's relatively new to the church. He's already graduated from college, he had a career in logistics and administration, and he's the only in his family that's a member of the church. Everyone thinks he's crazy to be serving a mission, but he's here because he felt like it was a commandment from the Lord. He's a great example of faith to me and everyone else.
This last week our friend Cicero really had a lot of progress. He has been going to church and participating in the activities we've been having, and he accepted to be baptized on Thursday this week. I'm certain he's going to be a big leader in the branch. Our Elders Quorum president is already going to call him to be his first councilor, and all of the members are excited about his conversion.
I've been thinking a lot about all of the wonderful experiences that I've had and people that I've met over the past 23 months or so, and just thinking about them brings me so much joy. I've been so blessed to see so many incredible people come unto Jesus Christ and be perfected by His atonement. I don't think there is a greater blessing that I could receive, than to have had the chance to serve Jesus Christ for two years. I am so grateful for the love I feel as I serve the people around me.
I love you all so much!
Elder Larkin
